The bustling cities, shopping centres and vibrant nightlife of Trinidad is in sharp contrast to sleepy Tobago where life is more laid back and the focus is on relaxing and enjoying the wonderfully friendly resorts.

Despite their differences, you'll find that both islands have many beautiful, often deserted beaches as well as a slightly wild side with unspoiled rainforest and exotic flora and fauna. Trinidad and Tobago are the southernmost of our Caribbean islands and just 30 miles off the coast of Venezuela, with people who are charming and welcoming and who will take great pleasure in spoiling you during your stay.

Out and About
With such beautiful, diverse landscapes, the islands are just begging to be explored. Here are a few of our suggested activities:

Trinidad
• Visit the Asa Wright Nature Centre, one of the best birdwatching locations in the Caribbean.

• Explore the capital, Port of Spain, with its many shops, historic landmarks and lively nightlife.

• Discover the island's lush interior which features rainforests, waterfalls, caves and rivers.

• Take a trip to the incredible Pitch Lake, the largest natural asphalt lake in the world.

Tobago
• Enjoy a glass bottom boat ride to the spectacular Buccoo Reef, followed by a swim in Nylon Pool.

• Discover Bloody Bay, Argyle Falls, Flagstaf Hill and the villages of Plymouth and Charlotteville.

•Take a boat trip to Little Tobago Island for hiking and birdwatching.

Food and Drink
They certainly know good food here. Try the delicious local crab ‘n’ dumpling with curry and coconut milk. Choose from fine dining to intimate family-run restaurants where the emphasis is on flavour, charm and atmosphere. There’s a vast choice of restaurants in Trinidad and, in Tobago, we can recommend Jemma’s Treehouse (perfect for a beachside lunch and delicious local cuisine), the Seahorse Inn in Scarborough and Kariwak Village where the pink mint ice cream is a must.
