I could have stayed and watched the hummingbirds all day. This tour was the highlight of my trip to Trinidad. I share stories of the experience as often as I can and encourage people to visit for the education, home cooked meal and friendship.
You will want an experienced guide and driver to get to the house. Mine was both.
