Your flight to Tobago takes you to an unspoilt paradise at the southern end of the Caribbean archipelago, 30km north-east of Trinidad. Explore the botanical gardens and museums in Tobago’s bustling capital, Scarborough, and visit the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere in Speyside.
Step back in time at Fort Saint George in Scarborough to explore an 18th-century castle and see pre-Columbian artefacts at the Tobago Museum inside. The living culture of Tobago can be found at the Buccoo Sunday School weekly festival of steel bands and blockos (steel band parties).
For panoramic views take a picnic to Flagstaff Hill at the northern tip of Tobago or go bird-watching on Little Tobago Island. Or enjoy water sports on the miles of sandy beaches from Man O’War Bay to St Giles Island and bathe in Argyle Waterfalls.
Locals in Tobago love their spicy Creole dishes, curries and seafood. Dine on crab and dumpling with plantain and cassava, and don’t miss out on the fresh fruit from roadside stalls. Drink some local rum straight, or in a refreshing long cocktail.
