About Trinidad and Tobago

TOBAGO

Tobago is really the last of the “unspoilt Caribbean.” This strip of elongated land just 41 by 14 kilometres, abounds with natural allure: palm-lined beaches, lush rain forests and pristine coral reefs.

The contrast of rolling hills against wave-beaten shores makes the island an unequalled beauty. The south (windward) coast is washed by the dark green, wave-whipped Atlantic and is lined with vibrant fishing villages while the north (leeward) coast provides Tobago with some of its finest beaches. In the main, the eastern landscape of the interior rises steeply into tall peaks, providing shelter for the oldest protected rainforest reserve in the western hemisphere.

TRINIDAD

In Trinidad you’ll not find your tailor-made tourist destination. Instead, you can chart your own adventure (with our help, of course!) with a choice of festivals, events and a host of other adrenaline-generating activities.

Port of Spain, the bustling capital, is filled with an enchanting myriad of art galleries and restaurants and other sites to satisfy your finer tastes.

If you prefer to be laid back, Trinidad also has its share of quiet quality. Once part of the South American mainland, the island, with its roughly rectangular shape that measures 37 miles (80km) by 50 miles (60 km), boasts of an ecological diversity unmatched in the Caribbean.

The north coast’s scenic beaches and sand provide the perfect atmosphere for seclusion, rest and recreation. Dominated by densely forested peaks, the northern interior offers excellent hiking trails, while the agricultural plains of central Trinidad provide a fascinating contrast.

The east coast features protected wetlands and miles of fine brown sand lined by groves of coconut palms. The island’s ‘southland’ is a friendly base from which to explore the island’s modern oil towns, picturesque fishing villages and calm deserted beaches.
