Discover the treasures of Tobago

On the tropical Caribbean island of Tobago, relaxation and adventure align. Alabaster beaches and gently rippling waves are the perfect holiday soundtrack, while hiking and mountain biking offer clients opportunities to explore wild landscapes and scenic viewpoints. Visitors can soak under waterfalls, savour fresh seafood and uncover the country’s past at historic forts and plantations, all accompanied by a warm welcome.

 

And with a direct British Airways service from Gatwick once per week in summer, plus three-times-weekly connections via Port of Spain in neighbouring Trinidad year-round, paradise is closer than you think.

 

 

Unspoilt beauty

 

A summer holiday in Tobago promises delicious food, good vibes and inimitable beaches, where the only thing to worry about is re-applying suncream. At Mount Irvine Bay, the turquoise waters are teeming with marine life and ideal for snorkelling or diving, while in Castara Bay, visitors can stroll barefoot on sugar-soft sand or take a cooling dip in the ocean. Another popular spot is Pigeon Point Beach, where jetskiing and kitesurfing will get pulses racing. Alternatively, remote No Man’s Land is accessible only by boat or via tours that serve barbecue lunches on the sand.

 

Elsewhere, Tobago’s ecoadventures entice visitors, with rainforest hikes in the Unesco-listed Main Forest Ridge Reserve, rewarding swims in Tobago’s three?tiered Argyle Falls, and unique wildlife, including more than 260 bird species, which clients can encounter in Gilpin Trace or on Little Tobago Island. When the sun sets, there’s always enough time to grab a cocktail, before witnessing glowing blue bioluminescence from a kayak or paddleboard.

 

Community spirit

 

Tobago’s culture paints an enchanting picture – locals can be found catching fresh fish off the jetties, getting the party started with live music and sharing a smile and island stories with visitors. For a front row seat, suggest a trip during Tobago’s festivals, such as the Tobago Heritage Festival in July, for cultural performances and mouthwatering cuisine, or Tobago Carnival in October, where dazzling costumes and music come together to celebrate the island’s traditions.

 

And whether clients spot protected species at Corbin Local Wildlife Park, savour signature curried crab at a beachfront restaurant or have their eyes opened to Tobago’s rich history at Fort King George, every experience uncovers a new layer of Tobago.
