Where Luxury Meets the Land
At HADCO Experiences, we believe that true luxury lies in connection – connection to nature, to culture, to purpose. Our eco-conscious retreats are thoughtfully curated to immerse guests in the beauty and biodiversity of Trinidad and Tobago, while preserving it for generations to come.
To redefine luxury travel in the Caribbean through regenerative tourism, HADCO Experiences curates encounters that are not only beautiful and restorative, but that give back to the environment and communities that shape them.
Our Mission & Story
To craft elegant, nature-based experiences that honour the land, celebrate local culture, and offer guests an elevated escape grounded in sustainability.
HADCO Experiences is the destination management arm of HADCO Group of Companies, established with a bold vision: to transform the way people experience Trinidad and Tobago. Our story began in 2021 with the award of a concession to renovate and manage the operations of the ecolodge at the iconic HADCO Experiences at Asa Wright Nature Centre, followed by the revitalisation of Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel and the charming Pawi Lodge.
As a 100% locally owned company, our commitment runs deep. We are driven not by trends, but by a love for these islands – their rivers and rainforests, coastlines and culture. Our experiences are curated not only to showcase this natural wealth, but to preserve and protect it.
Whether you’re stargazing on a secluded beach, enjoying local cuisine beneath the canopy, or waking to the call of rare birds, every detail is designed to indulge the senses and nurture the soul.
The Art of Restoration
We don’t just manage properties, we restore legacies.
Each HADCO Experiences location has been revitalised with a sensitive design approach that honours its history while elevating comfort. Our restorations blend modern eco-luxury with timeless Caribbean charm, using sustainable practices to preserve both structure and spirit.

Birding runs in Lester’s blood: his grandfather and father played foundational roles in protecting the Caroni Swamp and advocating for the Scarlet Ibis. At age 22, he left electrical engineering to continue the family legacy, guiding birdwatching tours and working alongside NGOs and government agencies to promote sustainable tourism and wildlife preservation.
