About Tobago

Tobago is a Caribbean island of unequalled beauty, with its mesmerising combination of smooth rolling hills and stunning palm-fringed beaches. Its finest beaches can be found on the north coast on the leeward side, while vibrant fishing villages fill the south and windward side.

The villages in Tobago to visit are Castara, Speyside and Charlotteville, and for diving and snorkelling, Buccoo Reef, Batteaux and Pirate’s Bay are recommended. The oldest protected rainforest reserve in the western hemisphere is sheltered by the steep rising peaks of the eastern side of Tobago. Tobago offers the visitor a relaxed holiday of low-key entertainment, local cuisine including crab and dumpling, delicate rainforest to explore and pristine coral reef.
