Birding
HADCO Experiences at Pawi Estates in Grande Riviere stands as another timeless reminder of the natural beauty and diversity that our twin-island Republic has to offer.
Named after the Trinidad piping-guan, which is endemic to the heavily forested communities along Trinidad’s eastern coast, the property spans approximately 5.321 hectares of land and is nestled within the cluster of nutmeg, cocoa and fruit estates, which are cared for by villagers and for which these sizeable birds are known to frequent for feeding.
Hiking
Trinidad and Tobago is widely known as a festival destination for many. However, the real beauty and splendour of the islands are to be found off the beaten path. Whether for health, sporting or leisure, let HADCO Experiences prepare you for your walk with nature.
Turtle Watching
Trinidad, but specifically Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel in Grande Riviere is celebrated worldwide for having the second highest density of nesting leatherback turtles during the period March to August, annually. Turtle watching is an intimate and picturesque experience, set against the backdrop of dark velvet skies and the occasional crash of tumbling waves from the majestic Caribbean Ocean. Our turtle watching tours capture the interests of beginners, as well as more experienced visitors, and invite you to realign your purpose with this timeless tradition. Be sure to dress warmly for the experience of a lifetime.
