Venture into the Forest Reserve,
in the eastern interior, for a shaded walk among misty
greenery and exotic animal and bird life. This is the
oldest protected rainforest in the Western hemisphere
with 14,000 acres designated as a protected Crown Reserve
in 1776, and a 'must' for bird watchers. Local guides
prove to be knowledgeable and witty companions.
Meander through the rainforest and bird sanctuaries
and you are sure to spot some of the island's 210 bird
and 123 butterfly species, one of the reasons that Tobago
is recognised as one of the world's best bird watching
spots.
