Things To Do

Where does one start? There is so much to see and do in Tobago whether you are on the land, on the water, in the water or being taken somewhere else completely by a relaxing treatment. In this section we aim to show you a selection of what is on offer on this amazing island. When you book with us we will send you more detailed information with recommendations of places to eat, which watersport or dive operators to use etc. Enjoy all the photos and remember that no matter how hard one tries it is almost impossible to capture the lush tropical colours of the sea or the flora and fauna and to experience the vibe? Well you have to be there…………………………………

Beaches
From windswept Atlantic surf to tranquil clear caribbean sea, Tobago has it all. Party at Store Bay, surf at Mount Irivine, relax at Grafton and enjoy watersports at Pigeon Point. Or escape to the remoter beaches in the north of the island where the rainforest cascades down to the golden sand and green parrots squawk in the canopy.
In the water
A whole new colourful world awaits in the warm Caribbean sea. Enjoy snorkelling at the many sites and reefs all around the island or learn to dive with our recommended experts. The best diving is to be found in the north of the island.
On the Water
If you don't fancy getting wet then take a glass bottom boat to visit the reefs in the north or south of the island and enjoy the underwater world whilst staying dry!
Boat tours
Enjoy Tobago from the water. Take a day sail on the large Catarmaran Island Girl and enjoy lunch on board and snokelling in isolated bays or for those who prefer a faster pace hire a fast motorlaunch for an exclusive day on the water.
Water Sports
What do you fancy? Sail a Hobbie, kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, wakeboarding, jet skiing, surfing, body boarding? You can do it all on Tobago.
Golf
There are two championship golf courses on Tobago within 15 minutes drive of each other. One on Tobago Plantations and one at Mount Irvine.
The rainforest
Since 1776 the rainforest in Tobago has been the oldest protected national park in the western hemisphere. It offers amazing opportunities for birdwatching and hiking. Being cocooned under the canopy with the sounds of the rainforest is a wonderful experience. There are also dramatic waterfalls to be seen and to be used to cool off in!
Horseriding
Being with Horses offers a special trail-swim Combination. It is a 2 hour experience. They cater for all levels. Veronika and Lennon also do wonderful therapy work with many different groups in Tobago. See www.healing-with-horses.com
Yoga
There are many places to do Yoga on Tobago. At Kariwak there is the specially built Ajoupa. At other places you can do your practice overlooking the Caribbean sea. Whether it be Iyengar, Yin, Hatha or Vinyasa Flow or something else or if you are a total beginner or not - there is a practice for everyone to enjoy.
Massage and other therapies
For Thai yoga massage, Shiatsu, Osteopathy, Acupuncture (seasonal), Aromatherapy, Hot Stone massage, Bio Photon Light Treatment or Emotional Freedom Technique the place to go is Kariwak but most of our villas and hotels will offer massage. You can even get one on the beach (on a proper massage bed!)
The Cocoa Farm
Take a tour of the Cocoa Farm and learn about how chocolate is made. Tobago Estate Chocolate has been awarded the highest accolade in GREAT TASTE 2014. It has been awarded 3 GOLD STARS by the London Guild of Fine Foods and guess what? You can taste it along with a tot of rum!
Bacolet
The area of Bacolet is a quiet enclave located near to the bustling capital Scarborough. The Bacolet Beach club and the Half Moon Blue hotels are located here. Bacolet Beach is good for body surfing and you can get a simple lunch there from the Bluehaven Hotel Beach cafe. The locals play beach football on Sundays which is great fun to watch.
Speyside
Speyside is a quiet village right in the north of Tobago. This is where the best diving is in Tobago but there is also great snorkelling especially on Batteaux reef just off Blue Waters Inn Hotel. A 20 minute local boat ride away is the uninhabited 450 acre island of Little Tobago (also known as Bird of Paradise Island). Here there are opportunities to hike up to the top (200 feet) for stunning views and to watch the birdlife and especially the red-billed tropicbirds wheeling around the cliffs.
Englishman's Bay
Situated on the Caribbean side of Tobago, Englishman's Bay is a totally unspoilt idylic horsehoe shaped bay with tropical rainforest cascading down to the white sand. Green parrots are often to be seen in the trees and Pelicans wheeling and diving. There is one small tin shack on the beach and this houses Iulia's where you can get a cold soft drink and a simple local lunch cooked on a primus. There is also a small selection of things to buy from carvings to sarongs. It is a magical spot.
Mount Irvine
Mount Irvine is known for its beaches, the well established Mount Irvine golf course and the large luxurious villas with views of both. Located on the Caribbean side of the island the beaches here are calmer than those on the Atlantic side. There are two great beaches here. Mount Irvine beach and Mount Irvine Hotel beach. Both have facilities bar, simple food and loos but the Mount Irvine beach is larger and busier. There is great snorkeling off the beach and unusually there is a reef to one side which creates excellent waves for surfing or body boarding and there are locals here who will hire you a board. The Mount Irvine hotel beach has a security guard on duty during the day and you can hire sun loungers from the bar area.
