“Tobago is an outdoor and wildlife enthusiast’s dream and considered a premier destination for ecotourism. It is home to an array of wildlife, including 230 species of birds, and huge stretches of rainforest, with Main Ridge Forest Reserve being a must-see. Tobago places a big emphasis on conservation to protect its wildlife and ecosystems both on land and offshore. Activities such as scuba diving, hiking, surfing and sailing are all popular, with an emphasis placed on sustainable, ‘leave no trace’ practices to not spoil the natural beauty. I’d recommend staying at The Villas at Stonehaven, a brilliant choice for those looking to discover the wild beauty of Tobago while maintaining a truly luxurious feel. Wildlife enthusiasts will feel right at home with 260 acres of protected forest and a nearby bird sanctuary.”
