Romantic Activities
Island Sights
Nature tours are top attractions on Trinidad. The
Asa Wright
Nature Centre,
868-667-4655, is the top spot for naturalists
and birders, who can enjoy guided walks on nature trails, or go
off on their own in search of multicolored hummingbirds and
other tropical species. Near Port of Spain, the
Caroni Swamp,
868-638-6360, is a sanctuary that's home to the scarlet ibis,
and in the sunset hours the sky turns truly scarlet as these
birds come in to roost in the mangroves. Boat tours are avail-
able for a closer look at these beautiful birds; for information,
call
KPE Nature Tours

868-637-9664, or fax 625-6980.
In Port of Spain, the
Queen's Park Savannah
is a top stop.
This central park, encircled by what's termed the world's lon-
gest roundabout, is home to cricket fields, botanical gardens,
and tall trucks selling coconut water. Walk around the Savan-
nah, which is lined with grand historic homes.
Although Trinidad is not known for its beaches,
Maracas Bay,
located on the north shore, is a popular spot with both tourists
and residents. About an hour from Port of Spain, the drive to
this area is a treat in itself, winding through the
Northern
Range
with views of forests, where species such as howler and
capuchin monkeys, ocelot, Amazon parrots, and wild pigs can
be found.
