Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2016 — 25th Anniversary Edition
With our 2016 edition (our 27th), we celebrate 25 years of producing Discover Trinidad & Tobago. Published every year since 1991, Discover Trinidad & Tobago is aimed both at international visitors planning a trip to the islands – whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday – and at local Trinbagonians looking to know and explore more about their native islands. Our comprehensive coverage of Trinidad and Tobago — from arts and culture to eco adventures, accommodation to sports, planning flights and transportation and more — can help anyone plan anything from a day trip or weekend escape, to a full-on an adventure holiday or leisurely vacation. It might take a lifetime to truly experience all that the islands have to offer, but at least we can show you where to start.

Turtle-watching<br />
One of <strong>Tobago</strong>’s beloved nature activities is watching the ancient<br />
nesting ritual of sea turtles (March–September) on the island’s<br />
beaches. The most common are the giant (and endangered) leatherback,<br />
hawksbill and green; all (and their eggs) are legally protected.<br />
Leatherbacks come ashore primarily on the southwestern coast. For<br />
further information and free guided tours contact SOS <strong>Tobago</strong> (Save Our Seaturtles<br />
<strong>Tobago</strong>), or a reputable tour guide. Many resorts on nesting beaches can<br />
help you make arrangements.<br />
Did you know?<br />
Female leatherback hatchlings<br />
that make it to the sea<br />
will roam the oceans until<br />
they reach sexual maturity<br />
before returning to the same<br />
nesting areas to produce<br />
their own offspring. Males<br />
spend the rest of their lives<br />
at sea.<br />
essentials<br />

Do not touch or disturb<br />
nesting turtles or hatchlings<br />
Lights, noise and activity<br />
tend to disorient both turtles<br />
and hatchlings, so don’t use<br />
flash lights or photography<br />
