The router is pretty and the tour guide was very informative. Would definitely recommend. Water and a small snack is available.
Recommended but pre tour could be much more time efficient

Great wildlife, mostly birds including Flamingos but saw one snake and some catfish too. Tour gets better as you go along so bear with it. The 45 mins wait before boarding a small boat was a huge waste of time when you are on holiday which spoilt the experience a bit. A large family on the boat ignored the guidance and were shouting all the way through which wasn't great either but hopefully that's a rare event and we were just unlucky . The pick up and drop off was great and would recommend if you like wildlife

Tour was good. Tour guide was OK. It is scary going through the Grove with the shallow water and fat snakes in the trees, also the crocodiles in the water. It was a site to the flamingos and the scales ibis
Beautiful experience!

This was an absolute amazing tour ! We were picked up by Dominic who made us feel at home. My elderly father was well looked after by Dominic. Dominic was very knowledge & even tourists were asking him questions. The ride on boat was stunning. The boat guide showed us some good wildlife to beautiful scenery. It's worth bringing a good camera if your into photography 📸. Dominic was always on hand to explain the history to anything we needed to know. I would highly recommend this tour & get Dominic as your tour guide !
Totally recommended tour while in Trinidad!

Excellent and memorable tour! Our guide Dominique was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and fully bilingual, for Spanish only speakers in my group. The Caroni swamp is a very interesting reserve and the ability to watch all the wildlife, including lots of flamingo and the famous Red Ibis, was the highlight of the experience. Totally recommended!
Amazing experience, fantastic place

The river was exquisitely beautiful. The trees were reflected in the water; it was so lovely. We saw many flamingos and many of the red birds. We saw two rainbows. At the end it started raining quite a lot so the captain pulled out a big piece of plastic that we all held over our heads, as we laughed. Guide Dominic was attentive and interesting. I also loved the other 2 travelers that were in our small group.
Great experience

The tour was interesting and showed many native birds. We had a great tour guide, Dominic ensure that we had a great and comfortable time. From our ride from the hotel, to visiting the visitor's centre, to ensuring that he stayed with us until we were comfortably on the boat, he displayed great customer service.
