Each spring and summer thousands of Leatherback Turtles visit their ancestral nesting grounds on the beaches of Trinidad, laying enough eggs to produce hundreds of thousands of offspring. From April through July, our tours to the world-famous asa Wright nature Centre offer the opportunity to witness this amazing spectacle, as well as to see all the trogons, hummingbirds, honeycreepers and hawk-eagles the Centre is famous for.
