The day begins before most of the island is awake: a driver arrives at 8:30 a.m., the van’s engine humming as the coast unfolds through open windows. Tobago moves in wide, bright strokes here—mangroves give way to sugar-white roads, then to cliffs where the Atlantic throws itself against volcanic rock. Your guide points to a rusted cannon half-buried on a bluff; the wind seems to argue with it, daring history to hold still.
