Tobago Holidays


the caribbean
Tobago holidays promise peace and seclusion with all the paradise trimmings of white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

As the smaller sister island of Trinidad, Tobago is a slow paced and relaxed undiscovered gem lying at the southernmost tip of the Caribbean Islands. This idyllic island is home to picturesque towns, sleepy fishing villages and is renowned for its pristine dive sites.

A haven for wildlife lovers, Tobago’s UNESCO World Heritage listed forest reserve is home to over 200 species of birds, while the calm seas harbour a rich marine life. Scarborough, the pretty capital, boasts a colourful weekend market and historic 18th Century fort. Little Tobago, also known as Bird of Paradise Island, draws naturalists including Sir David Attenborough. Divers should head to the ports at Speyside and Pigeon Point; the Buccoo Reef site is not to be missed.

Trailfinders offers a range of Tobago holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Tobago on a relaxing beach holiday, a fun-filled family friendly holiday or in a boutique resort – they are the perfect people to ask.
