• Sesong

  Dry season

  1. jan – 31. mai

  January to May is the dry half: the tracks into the rainforest reserve stay passable, the water over Buccoo Reef clears, and the Atlantic side calms down enough to swim. Rates follow the weather up.

  Trinidad and Tobago Carnival

  16.–17. febMye folkStengningerBestill tidlig

  The country stops for the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Most of it happens in Port of Spain, so the effect on Tobago is the reverse: the inter-island ferry and the short flight sell out for a fortnight either side. Kilde ↗

  Hurricane season
