Every October, the island comes alive with the colours, sounds and tastes of the annual TOBAGO CARNIVAL. Musical performances, street parades and a showcase of cultural traditions make this an experience not to be missed.
The annual BUCCOO GOAT RACE
takes place on the first Tuesday after Easter and has become a major event in the island’s calendar. A street parade precedes the races, handmade crafts
are sold and locals open their doors and welcome visitors with delicious food.
Foodies won’t want to miss the TOBAGO BLUE FOOD FESTIVAL,
where the root vegetable dasheen is the key ingredient in every delectable dish. It takes place every October and, aside from serving up delicious food, also hosts farm tours, crayfishing competitions and live entertainment.

nature, recommend they check out Tobago’s many hiking trails. Dotted across the island are cascading waterfalls, surrounded by secluded rockpools and verdant jungle, which are best explored on foot. Argyle, Parlatuvier and Highland are
three of the most popular falls, with their cool, crisp waters and dramatic scenery making them a hotspot for tourists and locals alike. Reachable by different paths that vary from easy to slightly more challenging, these falls are a must-visit and promise breathtaking views and a refreshing dip as a reward for the hike. And for a whole new perspective of the
island, a bioluminescence tour is essential. Under the cover of nightfall, visitors can explore the mangrove-fringed Bon Accord Lagoon in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard and marvel as the plankton shimmers mesmerisingly in the moonlight.
