MAIN Travel Caribbean Trinidad & Tobago

For a unique study in contrasts, be sure to visit both islands to compare Trinidad's busy and sophisticated modern capital, Port-of-Spain, with the sleepy and laid-back atmosphere of little sister, Tobago.

Boasting the original birthplace of the steel drum, calypso music and the limbo, "Trinis" are a varied and cosmpolitan population justly proud of their rich culture, vibrant energy and exciting nightlife.

However, just two hours away by ferry is located sleepy little Tobago, offering its own unique pleasures in its laid back style, pail pink beaches, and deep blue seas.

Inland lies Tobago Forest Reserve, one of the Caribbeans oldest protected rainforests, while surrounding the island are stunning coral reefs that make for spectacular snorkeling or scuba diving excursions.

Of course, no visit to Tobago would be complete without a visit to picture perfect Argyle Falls, an expertly guided but slippery trek to a triple cascade of crystal clear waters.
