World Travel Guide, shares an informative guide on visiting Tobago! The guide discusses scenic beaches, bird watching, Little Tobago, visiting Trinidad, and exploring the Main Ridge Forrest!
Beach:
Boasting glassy, tranquil waters, glitzy hotels and one of the longest beaches on the island, Great Courtland Bay, on the southwest side of the island, is all the rage with vacationers and giant leatherback turtles.
Beyond the beach:
Leave the beach and discover terra firma. Bird watching is popular as there are over 200 species on the island.
Family fun:
The beach is always popular with the brood and a trip to Little Tobago (a short boat ride off the northeast coast) for a hike and a swim is also fun. So is a family hike.
Exploring further:
Hop a commuter ferry or puddle jumper to Tobago's sister island, Trinidad. It is just a 34km- (21 mile-) trip. Trinidad is where the steel pan, calypso, soca (another version of calypso) and limbo were born, so nightlife is always spirited.
Splashing out:
'Splashing out' as such might prove tricky, as everything is pretty low key here. Take a walk on the wild side instead. Tobago Main Ridge Rainforest, the oldest protected preserve in the Western Hemisphere, is alive with diverse species of birds, mammals, frog and (nonpoisonous) snakes.
