A Serene island paradise cradled by the Caribbean Sea
BEST TIME TO VISIT
This archipelago does experience a wet season, so if you’re envisioning sunny days on the beach, the dry season of January to May is ideal. While the wet season can still be pleasant for diving and exploration, the occasional cyclonic winds can cause rough waves. We recommend avoiding the wet season and favouring a dry season visit for peak snorkelling and hiking conditions.
Activities & Experiences
The inherent seclusion and lack of man made, garish tourist attractions is undoubtedly one of the Tobago Cays major drawcards. Whether onboard your luxurious floating home away from home or relaxing on sandy white beaches, Tobago Cays provides unfiltered scenic beauty in every direction. Be sure to check out these activities to make the most of your time in paradise:
Observe the wildlife
Thanks to its status as a protected marine park, Tobago Cays is home to an abundance of wildlife able to live unhindered in their natural habitat. Bring a pair of binoculars to the Catholic Rock bird sanctuary to view nesting seabirds alongside protected roosting colonies. Set sail across to the Baradel turtle sanctuary to spend an afternoon snorkelling alongside majestic green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles.
Hike the trails
Nowhere in the world will you find hiking trails with scenery quite as striking as the Tobago Cays. Enjoy uninterrupted views of the Grenadines from tracks on Petit Bateau, Petit Rameau and James Bay. With trails to suit any experience level, pack a lunch and meet some of the iguanas and birds who call these islands home. The exotic fauna along the way provides a stunning backdrop for this popular activity.
Experience truly private dining
While there are no restaurants on the Tobago Cays, this doesn’t mean your dining options are limited. With kilometres of pristine, empty beach available, the whole of the Cays becomes your private dining room. Enjoy a delectable meal prepared by your onboard crew while enjoying a spectacular Caribbean sunset. We recommend Petit Tabac, which you may recognise as the island Jack Sparrow was exiled to in Pirates of the Caribbean. The islands are also serviced by “boat boys” who take reservations for a popular traditional seafood feast under the stars.
Experience the reef
No matter your experience level, Tobago Cays has an ocean exploration option for you. While many attractions can be viewed with nothing more than a snorkel, those wishing to scuba dive have a variety of options to explore. Horseshoe Lagoon offers shallower dives with beautiful coral views; keep your eyes peeled for the nurse sharks and eagle rays known to frequent the area! Off Mayreau you’ll find the Mayreau gardens coral reef, as well as the Purunia Shipwreck, a 140 foot WWI British gunship which sank in 1918. Experienced divers should visit Sail Rock. This area boasts an underwater cave and canyon, colourful hard and soft coral and friendly stingrays in abundance.
