Hi!
Sorry to hear about your problems. If you are stuck in Trinidad you might want to visit the Asa Wright Centre. It's fantastic for birds and they do a rainforest trail tour twice a day. You should see plenty of other wildlife as well including big matte lizards and agoutis. You can watch the birds from a balcony and you get great views of hummingbirds up close! You can book lunch. The website is

We also visited Matura Bay at night to see the leatherback turtles laying their eggs

Maracas beach is the main beach up north. Las Cuevas is good too if you don't mind the black vultures! Grande Riviere is gorgeous, but a bit of a trek.
You could take a boat trip at Caroni swamp and see the scarlet ibis return to roost. You should see snakes and caymen.
Waterloo temple and Hanuman Murti were interesting religious sites.
There is also Pointe a Pierre Wildfowl Trust for a nice walk and more birds and wildlife.
Down south, there is the Pitch lake - the largest in the world.
I hope this helps. Fingers crossed you get your flight.
