Rediscovering the beauty of Tobago

Hello again. I am excited to continue with you the tour of our beautiful island, Tobago, one of the jewels of the Caribbean. As you may know, Tobago has changed hands many times; it seems we were really in demand in those days of yore. This little island has changed hands 33 times, the most of any of the Caribbean Islands. ‘Tobago sweet fuh suh; everybody did wah we.’

The many Forts found at strategic points around Tobago reflect the struggle for ownership. Visiting the Forts is a rewarding outdoor activity you...

Corbin Local Wildlife

Did you know there is a Wildlife Park in Mason Hall? Well, there is one, hidden in the midst of the hills of Mason Hall, located on the Belmont Road, Tobago. The Wildlife Nature Park is named Corbin Local Wildlife.

What’s up Hillsborough?

For today’s adventure I am taking you to Hillsborough, a special area, situated just off the village of Mt St George. Hillsborough is special because it is the home for one of Tobago’s major reservoirs. A large supply of our drinking water on the island comes from that particular dam. So, naturally the area is not highly populated, since we certainly don’t want the area overcrowded.

Thankfully, the lack of population encourages quietude and relaxation. The river calms your spirit and makes you forget about the hustle and bustle...
