The 10 Best Reefs in Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago

May 31, 2021 Florencio Paulino

The smaller half of Trinidad and Tobago, the 116-square mile island is a top eco-tourism destination. Its rainforest has been protected since 1776. Kayak through mangrove swamps, mountain bike testing trails in the island's northeast, drift dive with manta rays and sharks, hike the Rainforest Reserve or take in the distinctive Tobago pursuits of goat and crab racing. Cars, taxis and "maxi taxi" minibuses make it easy to get around the island. Carnival sees this exuberant island at its most extroverted.

Just outside Goat Island, loved my first snorkeling experience. My husband got in the water, but didn't snorkel. Took a tour to Little Tobago, and yes, the water was a bit rough, but not when we stopped here on the way back. I loved it!
