★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · from $67

Review of Trinidad’s Caroni Wetlands sunset boat tour, with Scarlet Ibises, flamingos, guides, transport, timing, price, and practical tips.

“My mam and I went in this tour together and had the pleasure of meeting our driver and guide, Kaleel. He picked us up from our hotel, we felt very comfortable and welcome in his vehicle. When we got to the swamp, it was overcast and looked as if it was going to rain, and he let us borrow his personal umbrella, which was very nice of him. We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful birds, and the swamp itself was stunning! 100% recommend this tour, it’s a must when visiting Trinidad! Cameras do the beauty of these birds no justice, you must see it with you own eyes. Thank you…”
