Select participants and date
You step into the air-conditioned van and Tobago eases open like a page in front of you—sugar-green hills giving way to abrupt coral cliffs, villages with painted shutters that watch the sea, and a coast that keeps changing its mood as the day unfolds. The driver slides into the coastal lane and the island accelerates from quiet neighborhoods into broad ocean vistas; gulls argue over the thermals while the guide outlines the map of the day: Fort King George, a working cocoa estate, Speyside and Charlotteville, then a private boat to Pirate Bay and the pink-sand shore.
