Tobago... a jewel in the Caribbean
Sitting just off of the coast of South America and next to its big sister island of Trinidad - Tobago is rich with green rain forest clad mountains, vibrant turquoise seas and a wealth of flora and fauna unseen on other neighbouring islands… this is what makes Tobago the rare unspoilt paradise destination that it is.
The main tourist area on the island is around the Crown Point area next to the airport, its on this southwestern tip that a traveller can relax on a white sand beach, swim in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean sea, dive in the spectacular coral reefs and enjoy the many tourism resources that the area has to offer.
And check out the capital of Tobago, Scarborough - see the hustle and bustle of local Tobagonian life... until Friday afternoon when the motor turns down a notch and starts chilling in readiness for the weekend.
Tobago is an island of festivals.... don't miss the carnival, the goat racing, the game fising, the Blue Food Festival and of course the world famous Jazz festival, and there's still plenty to do - markets, historic fort and museum, take a guided tour into the rain forest reserve, see the Argyll Waterfall, game fishing is abundant, there's diving for beginners or the experienced and what a destination to dive - with over 300 species of coral, turtles, nurse sharks and manta rays, or go mountain biking, game fishing, Golfing, Sailing or Bird watching, see Turtles nesting on the beach at Pigeon Point and Buccoo Reef Speyside, little Tobago and Arnos Vale
The year round warm and sunny climate makes Tobago a pefect destination for beach lovers or the adventurous alike..... You can stay in Luxury hotels, Luxury beach front villas, bed and breakfasts, eco/dive lodges, guesthouses and self-catering.
With tropical temperatures, most tourists tend to prefer visiting in the high season - Mid December to mid April, avoiding the hotter summer season with its unforgiving sunshine and intense heat. At the end of May the rainy season begins and lasts up until November, although there is a brief window of fantastic weather in September.
