Tobago
is a natural eco-vacation
delight - this Caribbean
island seems custom made
for ecotourism.
•
Like
its bigger sister
Trinidad, Tobago was once
a part of the South
American continent, thus
it has an extensive range
of flora and fauna unlike
any other Caribbean
island.
•
Tobago's
well preserved forested
central mountain range is
the oldest protected
nature reserve in the
western hemisphere. It
was declared a reserve in
1764 shortly after the
island fell under British
rule.
•
Over
200 bird species live on
or frequent the island,
including the majestic
frigate birds found off
St Giles, on Tobago's
north coast; and the rare
Red-billed Tropic birds
that nest on the cliffs
of Little Tobago off
Speyside.

• Deep in Tobago’s
rain forest can be found the
Collared Trogons while on the
outskirts, amidst the forest
trees the Motmot (also known as
King of the Woods) perches
boldly, his distinctive tail
rendering him unmistakable.
• The best hiking area is
the forested Main Ridge. The
Gilpin and Niplig trails are easy
entry points. There are several
others.
• There are several
waterfalls but the Argyle Falls,
just south of Roxborough, is the
easiest to get to.
