Feathered Friend Happy Hour Frenzy and Ryan’s Double are a True Trinidad Treasure - My friend and I enjoyed a beautiful boat ride at Nanan’s Caroni Swamp Bird Sanctuary. Our captain provided an adequate safety briefing to a group of about 12 in total in a large wooden boat. Our guide captain patiently explained info about birds, bugs, termites, snakes and crabs. We saw herons and more. The best part was the flamingo- heron- scarlet ibis show”happy hour” when they fly overhead to head to their nighttime rest trees. We saw group after group fly over the flamingo haven. The gem was the scarlet ibis found here and maybe in New Orleans USA This pre-sunset ritual is a nightly experience. Be sure to bring sunscreen, bug repellent, hat, phone or camera, rain gear just in case. The tour includes a stop at a small food truck stop for Ryan’s Doubles, a double fry bread with a delicious garbanzo secret creation with name-your-level of hot spice available. MITCH drove us and showed us how to master the double. Delicious!

Amazing! - Really good experience! I enjoyed the ride, the Scarlet Ibis is beautiful (even got to see a caiman and a snake on a tree hehe) and could enjoy the beautiful landscape of the caroni swamp. The tour operator was amazing, very friendly, on time, and would definately go with them again.

Great trip - It’s a great trip seeing various birds and animals in the mangrove swamp. Then seeing the flamingoes in the lake and scarlet ibis flying overhead. The transport to and from the sanctuary was excellent too

Would have been nice trip without the coincidentes. - One or two families ruined the whole tour. They had their own show. They didn’t sit down on the boat. They were making a lot of noise. I couldn’t take the photos I wanted. I came long way to see the birds. No one helped me out from the boat. I felt down and hurt my leg.
