Trinidad and Tobago holidays are like a little and large double act. Trinidad's a big and bold character, while Tobago sticks to classic Caribbean chill time.
Laidback and lively
This pair of Caribbean islands might be next-door to one another, and officially the same country, but the two are like chalk and cheese. Trinidad’s considered the world’s best carnival location, and almost the entire population lives on its shores. The beat of the steel pans slows down in Tobago, where undisturbed patches of rainforest and sleepy beaches set the tone.
Easy-going Tobago
The relaxed Caribbean stereotype couldn’t be closer to the truth in Tobago. It’s dodged the attention of the main tourist throng, so there’s an authentic feel that you just won’t find in its better-known neighbours. Seafood’s cooked how the locals like it, the coral reefs make for top-class diving, and the tropical scenery’s like something from Robinson Crusoe.
Carnival capital
Trinidad’s got a punchier personality, thanks to its love affair with the colourful carnival. It’s often dubbed ‘Mother of Carnival’, after holding one of the first high-tempo parades in the 1800s. Port of Spain, the capital, follows a similar pace, with high-rise buildings, a bustling port and buzzing marketplaces. Shades of neighbouring Tobago are visible away from the main towns – think monkey-inhabited rainforests, remote beaches and some of the best bird-watching territory in the Caribbean.
