Located just off South America, Tobago’s culture is influenced by the English, French, Dutch and Spanish explorers of yesteryear, and whilst it may be infinitely smaller than its sister island of Trinidad, it possesses a natural charm and beauty to punch well above its weight. Visitors to Tobago will be enthralled by the deserted golden beaches which can be found all over the island, where they can partake in watersports in the crystalline waters or simply relax with a rum cocktail in hand. Meanwhile, the lush rainforest interior attracts ornithologists from all over the world to observe the islands diverse bird life.
