The Tobago holiday guide. Written by tourists for tourists.

** Haiti Earthquake 13th Jan 2010 **. The Caribbean island of Haiti is large island north west in the Caribbean and not near to Tobago which is at the bottom of the chain of smaller Caribbean islands. Check out our Maps page to see the locations of both places. Our thoughts are with the people of Haiti at this time.

In a crazy world where we seem to have lost our way a lot of the time, the Tobagonians are a people who quickly remind you of the way it’s supposed to be - being nice to each other, raising children to respect their elders, going to church on Sundays, and they put nature before hotel tower blocks, despite the need for jobs on the island.

All Caribbean islands are beautiful, but there’s something different about Tobago. A holiday there will rejuvenate your soul, have you editing your life when you get back home, and you’ll feel good about the world again.

We've been going to Tobago for over 15 years. Tobagonians are a warm and friendly people, and fiercely proud of their island.

Why do we love it?

Tobago is south of the hurricane belt
Empty beaches - and not a tower block hotel in sight
Fabulous snorkelling and scuba diving
Championship golf and fishing
An abundance of bird and wildlife
Known as ‘Robinson Crusoe’ island
Oldest protected rainforest in western hemisphere
No poisonous snakes or dangerous sharks
Coral reefs, manta rays, angel fish, wild parrots, 90p beers and ‘have you met the Queen?’ from the locals.
Wonderful local people - dignified, friendly and talented
Excellent and varied cuisine
It’s a round the year holiday destination - the ‘rainy season’ shouldn’t write it off

Because of its amazing wildlife, Tobago has been called 'The Galapagos of the West Indies'. We’ve been as single tourists, as couples, groups and with children. There are still parts of it left for us to discover, and we relish every trip. Even now there are many places and things we haven't done and can't wait to do on the island.

Beautiful people, Tobago

We're not travel agents. We speak from the heart about an island and people we love, and want you to enjoy too. We hope you enjoy our colourful site, and find time to browse further and book a holiday to Tobago.

When we go to Tobago, we book our accommodation and flights separately, and offer you up to date info here to allow you to do the same. Tobago has a wealth of villas and apartments - owned by locals and expats alike - and they are well managed and maintained, great value for money, and allow you to see more of the island than a hotel stay might.

You can get an economy package holiday - The Holiday Place do some very good deals and are linked from our site, but you'll love getting out and about and doing your own thing on this island. It's a special place we know you'll fall in love with, just as we have.
