Welcome to HADCO Experiences at Asa Wright Nature Centre.
HADCO Experiences at Asa Wright Nature Centre is a sanctuary.
Nestled in the calm embrace of a luxurious and ancient rainforest along Trinidad’s Northern Range, the Asa Wright Nature Centre was established in 1967 with a mission to preserve and enhance a portion of the Arima and Aripo valleys for wildlife conservation, education, and scientific research.
Home to an easily accessible breeding colony of the rare nocturnal Oilbird, the Centre covers 1,500 acres of protected rainforest, which houses a rich biota with an outstanding species list that includes native mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and butterflies, with a variety of flowering fauna.
With a total of 29 rooms available for overnight accommodation, guests of the eco-lodge do not have to venture far, as the undistilled beauty of the environment greets you upon arrival. Overnight guests will have their senses awakened at the cusp of dawn by the melodious harmonies of over 200 species of birds, whose habitats have been boosted with special pollinator gardens that help to also attract butterflies and bees.
With sustainability at the core of efforts, HADCO Experiences is also engaged with transforming the ecolodge’s operations to achieve international green certification thereby supporting the Asa Wright Nature Centre Trust’s mission of conservation, education, and research.
At Asa Wright Nature Centre, everyone is welcome! Enjoy the freedom of connecting with nature by splashing in the refreshing Clearwater Pool, hiking along the various trails at your leisure or savouring a cup of indigenous cocoa tea after a full day of adventure. We are excited to design your dream vacation experience in our enchanting corner of this tropical paradise that we call home.
