26 miles of unspoilt beaches, extraordinary wildlife and exquisite biodiversity await you on this beguiling island. Tobago is the land of folktales, where vast tropical forest meets mesmerising waterfalls, where rocky canyons and hidden caves teem with barracudas and manta rays, and where secluded beaches come in only one flavour-perfect.
The island of Tobago is also home to the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere- the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere listed Main Ridge Forest Reserve. Over a quarter of the Caribbean’s mammals and over 260 birds live in and around this forest, including the White Tailed Sabrewing which is endemic to Tobago.
With its multitude of smaller islands like Little Tobago and Goat Island, you can descend to the depths of its coral reefs and experience some first class diving; Kelleston Drain and the world’s largest brain coral, Speyside with its unsurpassed visibility and Atlantic pull, or the Japanese Gardens off Goat Island. Located north of South America and just 21 miles from its sister island of Trinidad, Tobago is an ideal choice for twin island breaks; pairing the tranquillity of Tobago with the vibrancy of Trinidad.
