an island holiday awaits...
Much of Trinidad's activities are located on the North-West of the island close to the capital of Port of Spain which is where the cruise ships come in to Port. Maracas Bay, an hour from the capital, offers a beautiful beach at the end of a mountainous drive. There are also a couple of beautiful caves on smaller islands off the North-West of Trinidad with one being the Gasparee caves.
Tobago is known for its beaches with one of the most popular being Pigeon Point, a stretch of long beach which has a thatched roof on its pier. It also has top destinations for snorkeling in Pirates Bay and Englishman's Bay.

Scarborough International Airport (TAB) in Tobago mainly flies between Caribbean islands and the airport in Trinidad. There is also a ferry service between Trinidad and Tobago which runs regularly.
