Tobago is the small sister isle of Trinidad, the most southern Caribbean
island situated off the north east coast of Venezuela. The local currency
is the Trinidad and Tobago (TT) dollar and the exchange rate to £1 sterling
is on average $10 TT = £1 and $6 TT = $1US. This makes Tobago an extremely
good value for money holiday destination. US dollars are also widely used
on the island. Time zone – Tobago is 4 hours behind London GMT in the summer
and 5 hours behind London GMT in the winter.
Tobago is home to some of the most incredible underwater sites ranging from
the world renowned Buccoo Reef, and the teaming waters of little Tobago.
Tobago is also home to one of the oldest rainforest in the southern hemisphere
and was nominated as Eco Tourism’s destination of the year in 2003.
To taste a piece of Tobago life you can try snorkelling in Pigeon Point, enter into the annual goat race and watch (from a distance) the leatherback turtles!
If you prefer to relax on the beach you have plenty of beachfront to choose from where you will not be disturbed and can enjoy your piece of paradise. The beaches in Tobago are quiet and peaceful so take a good book and soak up the sunshine! As Tobago sits just north of the equator it enjoys a tropical island climate – days and nights of equal length with temperatures ranging in the high 20’s – low 30’s Celsius (or the high 70’s and 80’s Fahrenheit).
Tobago has sunshine all year round and there’s always a cooling tropical breeze from the prevailing trade winds. Expect heavier rainfall during June to November (the Rainy Season) with drier days from January to May (the Dry Season)
