Where Community Meets Conservation: The Future of Sustainable Travel in Trinidad & Tobago

What happens when luxury tourism and environmental stewardship work hand-in-hand with local communities? At HADCO Experiences, we believe this intersection is the future of travel—and we’re proud to lead the way in Trinidad & Tobago.

Nature and People, Thriving Together

Each of our three eco-resorts in northeastern Trinidad—Asa Wright Nature Centre, Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel, and Pawi Lodge—celebrate the natural beauty of our islands while reflecting the deep community roots that sustain them.

Our staff, guides, and partners are locals—individuals whose intimate knowledge and passion for place shape every guest interaction. Whether you’re enjoying a guided birdwatching tour through Asa Wright, a night walk to see Leatherback turtles with trained beach monitors at Mt. Plaisir, or you’re sharing a traditional meal prepared with ingredients grown just down the road at Pawi Lodge, guests don’t just visit—they connect.

Conservation You Can Feel

This is tourism that leaves a lighter footprint and a deeper impact.

The Asa Wright Nature Centre and Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel are internationally certified by Green Key, setting a standard for eco-lodging. At Mt. Plaisir, turtle-safe lighting and guest education help safeguard one of the world’s largest Leatherback nesting sites. And at Pawi Lodge, we promote off-grid living while supporting biodiversity in Trinidad’s eastern rainforest.

At each of our eco-friendly resorts in Trinidad, our central tenet is community-led stewardship. That’s why we:

  • Source produce from local farms and fresh seafood from community fishermen.
  • Employ and train local youth.
  • Fund environmental education and habitat restoration.

A Model for Sustainable Tourism

Our approach is simple: give back more than we take, because when communities benefit from tourism, ecosystems thrive.

So when you book a stay with HADCO Experiences, you’re doing more than relaxing—you’re helping fund conservation efforts, empower communities and safeguard Trinidad & Tobago’s stunning biodiversity for future generations.

Travel thoughtfully. Choose experiences that matter.
