Go Beyond in Tobago
Tobago is the unspoilt, untouched Caribbean island where the undiscovered waits around every corner. What may surprise you more, are the 101 unforgettable activities, authentic experiences and thrilling adventures that take you beyond ordinary.
Everything that you’ve ever dreamed about the Caribbean can be found in idyllic Tobago – a warm welcome from friendly locals going the extra mile to make you feel truly at home, secluded white sand beaches lazily lapped by sky blue oceans, the distant sound of music drifting on a warm tropical breeze, breath-taking natural beauty and striking wildlife.
Local Culture, People & Heritage
Tobago has a fascinating history. Its heritage, vibrant culture and relaxed people make it an attractive proposition for travellers who want to get the true flavour of their destination – whether that’s tasting local foods (curried crab and dumplings are a must!), venturing to historic colonial forts, attending the famous Buccoo Goat and Crab Races or whiling away an afternoon liming like a local. ‘The concept of liming encompasses any leisure activity entailing the sharing of food and drink, the exchange of tall stories, jokes and anecdotes etc.
The people of Tobago are fiercely protective of their culture and have avoided the over-development that many other islands in the Caribbean have engaged in, giving it a very rustic charm that is no longer found in other islands.
Sea & Beaches
Tobago’s water adventures range from diving – the calm waters and excellent dive operators make it a perfect place for kids and adults alike to learn to dive. Paddle-boarding to boat-trips and the secluded nature of the island’s stunning unspoilt beaches will appeal to all. Some of those beaches are genuinely untouched, only accessible by boat or require a strenuous hike through the forest to work up a sweat followed by a cooling swim. Although, it’s not that cooling as the sea temperatures are so warm!
Eco Adventure & Nature
Tobago is one of the finest spots for nature anywhere in the Caribbean. Tobago’s lush and protected rainforest is the island’s emerald blanket. Venture beyond the treeline and you’ll be rewarded with glimpses of the island’s natural wildlife and chances for thrilling adventures. Nature lovers, thrill-seekers and specific interest groups like birders flock to see the white-tailed sabrewing hummingbird and the rufous-vented chachalaca or cocrico, (Tobago’s national bird) – just two of the island’s 260 bird species. Take an easy hike to Parlatuvier, Argyle or Highlands Falls, just three of the many dotted around the island, or join a night-time kayak tour through Bon Accord lagoon where every paddle stroke creates an explosion of bioluminescence caused by the microscopic plankton in the water.
