O que acontece em Tobago (Scarborough), Trindade e Tobago, ao longo do ano

Movimentado — Christmas and parang, férias escolares em 3 dos países que mais mandam visitantes

• Temporada

  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.

Ainda em andamento: Seabirds on Little Tobago (1 Out – 30 Jun (normalmente)), Christmas and parang (25 Nov – 1 Jan)

Movimentado — Trinidad and Tobago Carnival

• Feriado

  Trinidad and Tobago Carnival

  16–17 FevLotadoFechamentosReserve cedo

  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. Fonte ↗

  Goats and their sprinting handlers race at Buccoo on the Tuesday after Easter, a fixture here for a century, with crab races alongside. The village and the one road into it are solid all afternoon. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Hurricane season

  1 Jun – 30 Nov

  Tobago sits at the southern edge of the belt and direct hits are rare enough that islanders name them by decade, but the tropical waves that cross it bring the wettest weeks of the year and cancel boat days. Fonte ↗

  Tobago Heritage Festival

  Not one parade but a fortnight in which each village stages its own night: ole time wedding at Moriah, folk theatre, the salaka feast. You drive somewhere different every evening, which is the point of it. Fonte ↗

  Two public holidays a month apart, on 1 August and 31 August, and Trinidadians take the ferry over for both. Government offices shut and the Store Bay end is at its busiest of the wet season. Fonte ↗
