The mountains + the sea
k
Tobago’s southwest is flat, undulating, and coralbased,
with limestone cliffs and white-sand beaches.
The northeast features coral-crusted rock formations,
while the rainforest reserve of the mountainous
Main Ridge is full of waterfalls, rivers, and streams.
Rising to 876m (1,890ft), it encompasses 14,000 acres
of protected rainforest — the oldest in the western
hemisphere. There’s also swampland and mangrove,
and a variety of reefs offshore.
Tobago has twice won the World Travel Award as
the world’s leading eco-tourism destination. Small
enough for much of it to be seen in a day, especially if
you start out early, tour operators offer a range of fullday
and half-day tours, plus specialised itineraries
based on your interests. For eco tours and adventures,
make sure to book with a registered tour operator or
guide (see gotrinidadandtobago.com and visittobago.
gov.tt). For easy day trips and sightseeing — if you feel
confident on the road — you could rent a vehicle, pick
up a Discover T&T map, and go exploring on your own!
