Tobago Holidays
Tobago is quite simply an untouched and relatively undiscovered island paradise. Swaying palm trees and long deserted stretches of soft sugar like sand bask in tranquillity and sunshine.

Tobago is an absolute hit for snorkelling and diving, with a marvellous array of colours displayed by the underwater gardens, fish and coral reefs. Tobago offers scuba diving that’s suitable for all qualification levels, and in recent years Tobago has become one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after diving locations. The famous Bucco Reef and Nylon pool are one of the wonders of the world and are well worth a visit.

Scattered around the island are small fishing villages and pastel hued houses. The central mountain range and rainforest have some sensational guided tours where you’ll witness a display of stunning wildlife, exotic flowers and the magnificent Argyle Waterfall.

Island life is simple and peaceful - a haven for relaxation. Don’t expect any busy bars or nightclubs on Tobago as the nightlife is as laid back as its people and has much more of a local feel.

The island’s local cuisine is second to none and you’ll find numerous restaurants which are not only of an excellent standard, but which are superb value for money. And the same could be said for the accommodation.

The original settlers on Tobago were the Caribs who fought off invasions from other Amerindian tribes, but were finally defeated when the Europeans arrives in the late 1500s. This didn’t spell the end of fighting in Tobago as the French, Dutch and English continued to battle for possession of the island, which changed hands 31 times before the British ceded in 1814. After a serious hurricane in 1847 that destroyed the highly profitable sugar industry, Britain made the island a ward of Trinidad. In recent years the development of tourism has strengthened the economy.Size & Location
