Our Story
Three generations of passion for Trinidad's natural beauty
The Origin of Kalpoo's
A legacy that spans three generations and nearly nine decades
- 1936
The Beginning
Mr. Seiunarine Kalpoo, a fisherman by trade, began taking intrigued tourists on bird watching adventures during Carnival time. Tourists who came to the island were fascinated by the spectacle of the majestic Scarlet Ibis returning to its nesting place.
GrowthExpanding the Legacy
Inspired by his father, Mr. Deonarine Kalpoo grew the business from one boat during Carnival Season. He began designing boats to meet the demands of the people. During the week he was famous for his oysters, crab and cascadoo, and on weekends his boats were hired for fishing charters and birdwatching.
TodayModern Era
With the power of Social Media, Navin and Ravi were able to push the envelope of what Kalpoo's Bird Sanctuary Tours can offer. Not only can you charter a fishing trip or look at the birds, but you can now have picnics, host weddings, special dinners and much more.
