Argyle Waterfalls: Located near Roxborough, the Argyle Waterfalls are Tobago's highest waterfalls, tumbling in a series of stepped cascades some 54m (175ft). It is a 15-20 minute nature walk from the parking area to the actual falls. You can have a swim in the deep cool pools.
Fort
King George: Just
a short trip from Scarborough, are the remains of Fort King George remain one
of Tobago's best preserved monuments. The fort itself was built in the 1770's
and the cannons remain as they were, overlooking the coast. The prisoner's bell
tank, barracks and officer's mess can still be seen.
Goat
Island: This privately owned island, located
between Speyside and Little Tobago, provides luxury holiday accommodation and
is closed to the public. Goat Island was once owned by Ian Fleming, the author
of the James Bond books.
Buccoo Reef: A protected marine park, Buccoo Reef is Tobago's most famous reef and is located off Pigeon Point. Glass bottom boat trips are available from various points, including Store Bay, Pigeon Point and Buccoo village, and Chris and I took one such tour, which included snorkelling on the reef (we saw several large Angel fish which were beautiful, but the reef itself has largely been destroyed by uncontrolled sightseeing over the years). We landed for lunch cooked over a BBQ and danced (not with each other!) with some of the other passengers on the trip, took a jet ski ride around the lagoon, before returning to Store Bay.
