Explore a hidden paradise in Tobago

24 October 2024

There are so many reasons to love the Caribbean island of Tobago but one of the most important for us is that it’s a great destination for those looking for a holiday that fosters community development while contributing to the conservation of nature and cultural heritage. Plus, it’s much easier to get to from the UK thanks to twice-weekly direct flights from London Gatwick with British Airways.

Unspoiled Beauty

Authentic, affordable, and accessible, Tobago ticks all the boxes for those looking for something relatively untouched and undiscovered. Its outstanding natural biodiversity and unspoilt habitats make it ideal for active travellers who love the great outdoors and more eco-adventures that preserve it.

Take a walk on the wild side

Much of the island’s rich array of indigenous plant and animal life can be found in the UNESCO-listed Main Ridge Forest Reserve, which is no less than the oldest protected piece of forest reserve in the western hemisphere, established in 1776. If you venture beyond the treeline, you’ll be rewarded with glimpses of astounding and rare wildlife, including the white-tailed sabre-wing hummingbird (only seen in one other place in the world), ocellated gecko, and Bachia heteropa microteiid lizard, both endemic to Tobago.

The Reserve has several trails to discover, the oldest and most popular of which is Gilpin Trace. Another popular one is the mile-long Blue Copper Trail and just outside the park, the Shurland James Hummingbird Nature Park allows you to get close-up views of hummingbirds in their natural habitat.

Breathtaking birdwatching

The birdwatching is epic all over Tobago, with more than 260 species to be spotted across its bird sanctuaries, which include St Giles Rocks, Grafton Caledonia Wildlife Sanctuary, and Little Tobago Island. Then there are Tobago’s sparkling waterfalls, including Argyle, Parlatuvier, and Highlands. The bioluminescence here is extraordinary, too – you can take nighttime excursions through the mangroves and along the coast by kayak or paddleboard to see otherworldly glowing plankton.

Sustainable tourism and pristine beaches

Another must-do while in Tobago is a visit to the Adventure Farm and Nature Reserve, an award-wining model for sustainable tourism. This 12-acre working organic estate grows citrus, mangoes, and other fruits as well as being home to many bird species including motmot, blue tanagers, and hummingbirds, plus butterflies and iguanas.

Of course, the sea and the beaches here are magnificent. Some of the best beaches on Tobago are at Englishman’s Bay, Pigeon Point Heritage Park, Store Bay, Pirates Bay, Cotton Bay, and Lovers Bay. You’ll find a level of seclusion here unmatched by many other destinations in the Caribbean and there are plenty of water sports to enjoy too.
