Tobago is the place you dream of, it is one of the southernmost Caribbean island lying some 10km off the Venezuelan coast, when you’re in the middle of a big city you fantasize about a paradise of easy smiles, a lazy existence among swaying palms, jubilant flowers and the soothing murmur of the ocean whenever.
The island which is just 33km apart from it’s bigger sister Trinidad is linked together in a single administrative unit since 1888. Trinidad covers an area of 4828 sq. km while Tobago covers 300-sq. km. The island, which is also referred to as Robinson Crusoe Isle, is known for it’s beautiful beaches and coral reefs also has a central spine of rolling hills with highlands that is covered by lush rain forest and the lowlands by coral soils and tropical scrubs.

Nothing else warms the heart better than a Tobago smile, a friendly greeting. Any visitor to this island must recognize this quality of openness and welcoming,which will not be easily forgotten.
