Birding in Tobago

Tobago is known as an international destination for viewing exotic birds and you can see some of the many species that inhabit or pass through here either by guided tour or simply by chance as you explore the countryside or beaches.



Life’s a Beach.

In spite of the selection of beaches you can find in Tobago to hang out on, there’s so many beautiful ones, most favorites are Grafton Beach lining the shores of

Stonehaven Bay and Turtle Beach just a little further north on Grand Courland Bay. Tourists are always gravitated to these beaches because they enjoy the pounding

surf and further north from Plymouth some of the other popular and beautiful beaches include Englishman’s Bay and the beaches at Castara.



Sunsets on Tobago…Grab a Seat…and Watch the FREE S

It’s a GREAT way to chill out and wrap up another great day on the beach, relaxing and tranquil, as the golden or fiery red ball of the sun dropped below the horizon the sky would light up and the clouds would take on hues of orange, pink, red, and gold, often reflections of the color are seen in the sea.The sunsets here apparently can be quite spectacular as you can see so as the light changes to signify the end of the day, grab yourself a place to sit comfortably, a chair, a log, or whatever you can find and wait for the show. It really doesn’t begin until the sun has sunk below the horizon, so be patient!



Scarborough…HOT SUMMERS…In the City..

Scarborough has grown over time up away from the relatively flat waterfront and has overtaken the surrounding hills. When you’re visiting Tobago you really need to get yourself into Scarborough, even for a short time to look around. If for no other reasons go to see how life goes on here in the “big city” and take in the views that the Fort’s hilltop provides. It does offer some entertainment, there is a few things going on to keep you busy for a little while.



Leatherback Turtle…Some of the beaches of Tobago are renowned for the annual visits of these “living dinosaurs” and every spring season turtles return to these beaches to lay they’re eggs and renew its cycle of life. The Leatherback turtle is the biggest marine turtle in the World and its thought that they have the most extended migratory paths of any marine species. Some have been tracked with the use of transmitter on paths that take them on cross ocean journeys in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Viewing these large creatures is a GREAT experience that’s both unique and exciting, a phenomenon that’s been in existence for eons. If you have the opportunity to visit Tobago when the nesting season is happening than we would certainly recommend that you go out of your way to investigate this event. www.visittobago.gov.tt


Get YOUR Goat …Lets GO RACING!!!Goat Racing is a MUST see event to witness when you’re visiting Tobago. There are two venues in Tobago where you can see this spectacle and the events are organized to happen on two consecutive days. The MAJOR event is run at Buccoo Village on a hundred meter track and you can view them from the comfort of a brand new covered grandstand. This venue is the most highly attended of the two and goat racing itself is only a portion of the days events with live music and food also being a part of the days entertainment. smaller but still unique setting of Mount Pleasant where we watched a few races and checked out some of the food vendors and handicrafts. As our time passed here the crowds were growing and it was apparent that this venue is maybe smaller than Buccoo but still just as popular. You really need to make the time for this if you’re visiting during the Easter period. www.visittobago.gov.tt


Rainforest

In a nutshell, Tobago has the oldest rainforest reservation in the western hemisphere, since 1765 Tobagos big green trees and little furry animals have been protected from the evil doers known as humans, So, go to the middle of the island, drive there, you'll probably get stopped on the road and asked if you want a guide, it is advisable as the guys are very knowledgable and very friendly, if you don't want a guid just say so and you won't be harassed.



Beautiful Buccoo Reef

Head straight to Buccoo beach, where there are boats which goes every day morning and afternoon at a specific period. Mostly these boats are glass bottom boats, which facilitates viewing of corals at the Buccoo Reef. Most boat will provide you life jacket and snorkel equipment and allow you to snorkel for 30-45 minutes. Else have your own boat and enjoy as much you like in snorkeling and swimming.



Fort King George

This is located in Scarborough next to the Scarborough hospital. This is the largest fort in Tobago and you can have a full view of Scarborough. Make it up there before it gets dark.



Castara Bay

Castara Bay is located up north on the west side of Tobago, between King Peter’s Bay (Diving spot) and Englishman’s Bay. If you travel from the south towards north then before reaching this beach, there is a beautiful view point…don’t miss that.



Nylon Pool

Most boats offer swimming in this Nylon Pool for 30-45 minutes along with the Buccoo Reef trip. Since the distance between these 2 will be around 150 meters. The name Nylon Pool is because of its color. The beauty of this pool is nothing but a natural swimming pool in the middle of the sea with 2 to 4 feet height of water. If you rent a boat go there little earlier, if you want to be alone. After 11:00am all the boats which starts from Buccoo beach will be there with loads of tourists.
