What to do and see in Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago: The Best Places and Tips
The smaller half of Trinidad and Tobago, the 116-square mile island is a top eco-tourism destination. Its rainforest has been protected since 1776. Kayak through mangrove swamps, mountain bike testing trails in the island's northeast, drift dive with manta rays and sharks, hike the Rainforest Reserve or take in the distinctive Tobago pursuits of goat and crab racing. Cars, taxis and "maxi taxi" minibuses make it easy to get around the island. Carnival sees this exuberant island at its most extroverted.

Established in 1763 to combat European deforestation of the island, this was the Western Hemisphere's first forest reserve.

Spent a day driving around Tobago and ended up on one of the most relaxing drives through the lush high Altitude rain Forests in the Region.
Brilliant views, awesome changes in temperatures and crisp clean air.
When in Tobago, take a break from the sand and surf and visit the forest reserve.
2. Adventure Farm and Nature Reserve

We spent a wonderful couple of hours here admiring the many hummingbirds from very close quarters (from a Seating area under a protective roof) and wandering the trails to spot other birds. Not sure why they've named it Adventure Farm though. Might give some false impression, it's just a beautiful location to admire birds and nature. Mango smoothies are available but not sure what other drinks and no food that we could see.

We stopped by the beach here as part of a birding trip along the Caribbean coast. If you are a birder, worth stopping here as well, many brown pelicans, frigate birds, brown footed boobies, swifts to be seen.

The island's livliest beach.
Reviewed By Theresa S
Standing in waist deep, sea-green, perfectly translucent water. In the middle of the Caribbean. Yes! They say to kiss underwater for lasting love and exfoliate with the sand to look 10. Years younger. It’s a very special and beautiful place. The boat ride out is beautiful and peaceful. Take snacks!
5. Englishman's Bay

A mysteriously uncrowded beach that is great for swimming and snorkeling.
Reviewed By lakelovinglady
My husband and I went here for a short period of time. The beach is off the main road and you have to drive in. There is a small gift shop and restaurant but we did not go inside.
There wasn’t much to do there so we left. We much preferred Pigeon Point.
6. Pirate's Bay
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 106 reviews
Although one of Tobago's more pristine and less crowded Beaches, Pirate's Bay has the rougher waters typical of most northeastern Beaches on the island.
Reviewed By Hugh d - Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom
The main village of Charlotteville is situated on Man o’ War Bay, a mile-long crescent of sand with a lifeguard protected swimming area at its southern end and plenty of eating places nearby.
Pirate’s Bay is a more remote beach around the next headland at the north end of the village that is accessed by a track that can be found by walking up the hill past the end of the village pier. The track climbs steeply for half a mile and then a path branches off to the left leading down to the beach. The descent is very steep with the last sections consisting of concrete steps (the climb back up is very strenuous). The bay can also be accessed by boat from the village.
The Bay is small and sheltered with a perfect crescent of very fine golden sand (much finer than the sand of Man o’ War beach). The central section is very good for swimming, with a gentle slope into the water and few rocks around. The left and right edges of the bay have some of the best and most accessible snorkelling in Tobago with a huge variety of undamaged corals and sponges, teeming with shoals of brightly coloured fish. The small rocky outcrop a few hundred yards from the beach on the right hand side is a particularly rewarding area to explore.
There are overhanging trees around the back of the beach that provide some shade from the sun.
There is an old hut near the bottom of the path to the beach where food may be provided. At the time of our visit there was no regular service but we were told that it could be pre-ordered in the village and brought by boat.
Altogether a magical place.
7. Corbin Local Wildlife
Overall Ratings
5 based on 70 reviews
Surrounded by gentle hills and Valleys overlooking the sea at Hope Bay, and situated in 20 acres of beautiful forest, Corbin Local Wildlife is a hidden gem. Plentiful fruit trees and flowers attract all kinds of native wildlife - plantain, sugarcane, mango trees and wild heliconia are abundant, to name but a few. Wild caiman sunbathe on the banks of the park's lily ponds, sally painters dash along the many trails and agoutis hop through the bushes. The park is a treasure-trove for birdwatchers - attracting hummingbirds, manakins, herons, mot-mots and jacamars. In addition to the wild animals, the park houses many rescued and threatened species. It provides a protected area, with diverse habitats, essential for the preservation of Tobago's native creatures. This safe environment, away from hunters, allows animals to breed and babies to be released into the forest when they are ready - protecting the natural wildlife which is under threat on the island. Come and explore the forest trails and learn about Tobago's wildlife. Call Roy Corbin to arrange a visit 00 1 (868) 327-4182. APPOINTMENTS ARE ESSENTIAL. If you don't ring to let us know you are coming there might be no-one there to show you around.

8. Pigeon Point Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
A popular public beach in southern Tobago that is accessible to nearby resorts.
Reviewed By DABJILL - Bournemouth
Pigeon point is a privately run beach on a small penninsula. Yes you have the picture
almost everybody knows of, the thatched hut at the end of the wooden pier that is a good camera shot I must admit.
This beach was so so crowded it felt uncomfortable, getting in the water you had to avoid the pebbles and the steep incline otherwise it took you by surprise.
The changing facilities were not very clean and the beach showers did not work, not exactly a blue flag beach.I certainly would not buy food from any of the restaurants I saw a door open to one and it was not very clean.
Yes you have the blue Caribbean Sea but that's about it.
9. Fort King George

Reviewed By Lynne C - Enfield, United Kingdom
We visited as part of an island tour. There is an interesting museum which is very well guarded. No photography allowed inside and this was enforced. Not much of the Fort left but the views alone make it worth the visit. To one side you can see over. Scarborough the capital. From the other side you can see the lovely green hills and catch a glimpse of the Dwight Yorke stadium. Thee were several benches to sit and look at the views with plenty of chickens wandering around to look at too. There were just a few souvenir shops just outside the museum.

Reviewed By Jack D - Hartsville, South Carolina
The walk to the waterfall was a nice walk through the forest and next to a creek. The trail was easy to follow until near the falls. Then it became unclear in spots and difficult to walk over the rocks. Recommended for anyone who can manage climbing over the rocks.
