Recognized by the government authorities of Trinidad, this organization pays particular attention to the preservation of giant turtles, the Leatherback turtles, which come to lay their eggs in their thousands on the shores of Grande Rivière, on the beach where they were born, and this for five months of the year, from the beginning of March to the end of August. Ban on lighting at night so as not to frighten the majestic beasts, scrupulous control of beach visitors and accompaniment by guides... the organization takes its role very seriously, and rightly so. In 1997, Grande Rivière beach was declared a protected area, and since then it has been necessary to obtain a permit to visit it during the nesting season.
This guesthouse is also a 10-minute drive from Shark River. A beautiful river with beautiful and very clear water. To go and relax and refresh yourself during an afternoon of discovering the surroundings, and after enjoying a good meal at Maje Moon, a small local restaurant at the inhabitant's, in Matelot.
