The forest at the rear of the hotel offers some interesting birding - you may see Rufous-tailed Jacamar and such hummingbirds as Rufous-breasted Hermit or Black-throated Mango. This is also a good place for White-fringed Antwren - a bird not found in Trinidad. Locally you may wish to book a boat trip to Little Tobago which offers the chance to view coral and other marine life, and during most months of the year Redbilled Tropicbirds and Red-footed, and Brown Boobies. You may also like to visit Gilpin Trace, an old Carib trail and home to the rare White-tailed Sabrewing, Bluebacked Manakin and some interesting orchids and bromeliads.
