Tobago Tales

Tobago is ideal for excursions, you can wander alone or with the right companions make the absolute difference. Although 40 km long and 10 km wide Tobago offers an endless treasure trove of activities to enjoy, places to explore and people to meet. 

- The Tobago Heritage Festival

A particular favourite for many on the island's calendar of events is the Tobago Heritage Festival, which is held over a two-week period towards the end of July, throughout the island.

The Tobago Jazz Experience 

Staying true to its promise of offering “much more than music” however, the Tobago Jazz Experience incorporates the cultural and historical practices that define the island of Tobago as an ideal destination.

The Buccoo Goat and Crab Racing Festival

The village of Buccoo, Tobago, can be described as the goat and crab racing capital of the world. During the Easter holidays this little village draws crowds of curious onlookers as specially trained goats sprint towards the finish line followed by jockeys clutching long ropes.

 


In the crab race, jockeys have no easier task as they attempt to prod the stubborn crustaceans towards the finish line. But there is no glory for the winning crabs, just a place in a pot of spicy curry sauce.
