About Tobago

Like chalk and cheese, the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago are the most southern in the Caribbean archipelago. Famous worldwide for its sensational carnival, Trinidad acts as the loud, big sister to the more tranquil and natural Tobago, whose relaxed pace of life, lush rainforests, exotic birds and coconut-lined shores were said to have inspired the classic tale, Robinson Crusoe.

Our Travellers Guide

Beaches
Quieter and less commercialised than other Caribbean islands, Tobago’s glorious sandy beaches are well worth a visit, with the most popular found at Pigeon Point and Store Bay.

Sports
An absolute hit for diving and snorkelling, particularly around Angel and Buccoo Reef. Tobago is also sensational for guided nature walks through the central mountain range and rainforest, where you can see exotic flowers, stunning bird life and the beautiful Argyle waterfall.

Local tastes
Trinbagonian cuisine has Spanish, Creole, East Indian and African influences. Try the island’s shark & bake, a fresh shark meat sandwich or ‘Doubles’ a popular fast food of soft flat bread wrapped around a curried chickpea filling.

Evening flavour
More relaxed than Trinidad, nightspots on Tobago have a distinctly local feel. Apart from steel bands, calypso and reggae music are also very popular, so too is ‘wining’, a snug, body embracing gyrating dance, popular with the locals.

Best buys
If you want to take home a drop of Caribbean rum, Royal Oak and Puncheon are well known brands. Other good local buys include hot pepper sauce and locally crafted pottery.

Live the Experience
Experience the music, colours and explosive energy of the Caribbean’s most famous carnival in Trinidad, with an excursion from Tobago. Visit Little Tabago also known as the Birds of Paradise Island, superb for nature walks. Snorkel around Angel Reef and explore Buccoo Reef’s beautiful marine life.
