The island of Tobago lies quietly towards the foot of the Windward Isles, in the Caribbean Sea, between Trinidad and Grenada. This tiny paradise island is like a beautiful diamond, set in the glorious sunshine of the Caribbean. Although Tobago is relatively unspoilt, tourism plays a vital part in the economy, with increasing visitor numbers each year helping to maintain a consistent lifestyle for all those islanders involved.
Tobago is totally English speaking and with all the towns and villages having recognisable names, you’ll soon feel very much at home. The weather is usually sunny and hot, with rain in short bursts that soon clear up. Temperatures rarely go above 86f during the day or fall below 68f at night.
Driving in the Caribbean, especially Tobago, you’ll easily find your way around. The roads are generally very quiet, apart from the Scarborough on market day, and local maps are simple to follow. As for most islands, road signs do seem scarce in more remote areas, but you’ll never be far from someone to ask for directions. The centre of the island is made up of one of the oldest protected rainforests in the western hemisphere, where there is an abundance of both wild-life and birds, yet there are no poisonous snakes or other deadly creatures to surprise you.
