TOBAGO

Little sister island, Tobago, is much more relaxed with good beaches, reef-protected waters and lovely ocean-tickling hotels. It also has rainforest, good birdwatching and great snorkelling and diving. Highlights include Speyside, a small fishing village and the jumping off point for excursions to the uninhabited island of Little Tobago, a bird sanctuary 2 km off shore. Charlotteville is another delightful fishing village - quiet, secluded and lined with a palm-fringed brown-sand beach offering good swimming. There’s great snorkelling at Pirate’s Bay and Booby Island just south of the village. These villages are true Caribbean hideaways. You should also visit the Tobago Forest Reserve, the oldest forest reserve in the Caribbean, established in 1765.
