Jungle! and other Trinidad and Tobago Things to Do Tips

Me in the jungle

Go on a jungle walk with an experienced guide and you'll see lots of interesting things. Birds, plants, lizards, butterflies. A good guide will spot things you would easily miss on your own.

Bring along water to drink and insect repellent. You may want to dress in long pants and a long sleeved shirt, but it is not absolutely necessary. You can rent rubber boots at the entrance, at least if you're going on Gilpin trail.

And remember, there are no venomous snakes on Tobago!

A small lifeguard serviced beach with a number of facilities. Popular with both locals and tourist alike. Here you can find everything from changing rooms to local food and souvenir stalls. But be prepared to meet lots of touts wanting to sell you a boat tour. They are generally nice, but after the third or fourth one, you’re starting to get annoyed. That is if you don’t want to go on a boat tour.

Argyle Waterfalls

A short walk leads you to this beautiful waterfall with three main cascades. If it hasn�t rained, water will be clear and nice, but even if is has rained and the water seems less inviting, it is perfectly safe for swimming. It is only mud from up stream. If you want to see the second or third cascade, you have to climb up a steep path. There is an entrance fee and you may have to hire a guide, but don't hire one of the unofficial ones found usually at the first entrance. The licensed guides can be found at the car park from where you have to walk to the falls.

A Scarborough street

The small and sweaty capital city of Tobago. Nothing much for tourists except a few high-speed internet access places and a couple of nice restaurants, one especially worth visiting is Ciao Cafe. But go there to see some city action in Tobago, there's not plenty of it around otherwise. There is also a market, banks, a mall (by no means what you'd expect from a mall back home) and a harbour.

Fort James

Tobago has many forts to visit, but this one, Fort James, was built 1811 and is part of the British legacy of Tobago. This is the oldest stockade on the island. There is beautiful view of Turtle Beach from the fort. There are a few souvenir and aloe vera sellers around, which is quite annoying, but the singer who performs there to visitors is pretty good.
