Tobago / Getting Around
The sleepy surroundings of Tobago are ripe for discovering and the best way to do this is by hiring a car. There is a bus service, but the best option for tourists who don’t want to drive is to take one of the shared or route taxis around the island.
Trinidad is the place to explore beyond Tobago’s shores and it is easy to get to, but the island is so large and developed it is worth planning what you want to do there before you arrive.
