What we found on this Caribbean island is what you would expect and also quitea bit you would not expect! Tobago is what many other parts of the Caribbean were like 30 years ago - largely untouched by commercialisation. There are hotels, but nothing is big and brash, it all fits in with the idyllic surroundings.
One of the best things about Tobago is the wildlife. We took numerous tours and enjoyed both the coastline and rain forest environments. Tobago - and neighbouring Trinidad which we visited for a day - is a great place to go for birds and we were dazzled by the birdlife, especially the hummingbirds.
We stayed at a hotel called Turtle Beach and it lives up to its name with huge leahterback turtles (up to six feet in length) haul out on the beaches to lay their eggs. We were lucky enough to see this, although it was a dark night, so it was not easy to see a lot without disturbing the turtle,m which we would never want to do.
We also saw caiman, lizards and fish life on the reefs. All in all it was gorgeous and I would thoroughly recommend the place to anyone thinking of a Caribbean trip.
