Trinidad is said to compliment nicely Tobago.  The islands are very different; while Tobago is considered picturesque, Trinidad is more known as a business centre.  It is the largest oil producing Caribbean island and it accounts for 70% of the country's exports.  It has a large industrial sector, which produces mostly steel, natural gas and petro-chemicals. 

Also typical of Caribbean islands with colonial presence Trinidad also has a major sugar industry. 

But that aside, there are some lovely beaches to visit as well, like: Maracas Bay, Las Cuevas and Balandra.  Plus for bird watchers there is the Asa Wright’s Bird Sanctuary and the Caroni Swamp.  Not to mention the natural phenomenon of the pitch lakes in La Brea.  Trinidad is well worth a visit, as we haven’t even mentioned Carnival.

Trinidad comes alive in February and March, with the rhythmic sounds of steel pan, soca, chutney and calypso; the kaleidoscope of intense colour which fills every street corner and intoxicates your soul.  Indulge as much or as little as you desire.  The carnival season starts Boxing Day and culminates Shove Tuesday evening with a 'last-lap' party; and after the two-day holiday, on Ash Wednesday, everyone returns to work.  However for the lucky few they return to Tobago to soak up the sun, the sea and the sands.  What more would you want from your vacation.

Tobago is one of the most southerly islands of the Caribbean, its closest neighbour is Venezuela on the South American peninsular and the island of Grenada.  It boasts of being the setting of the legendary Robinson Crusoe; with exotic flora, fauna and birds, as well as captivating scenery and picturesque beaches makes Tobago paradise to visit.

Life in Tobago is tranquil and very relaxing but there are lots of things to do and see.  Some of the most popular places of interest are: Buccoo Reef, the Botanical Gardens, Fort King George, Little Tobago, Pigeon Point, Store Bay, Englishman’s Bay, Pirate's Bay, Argyle Falls and the Tobago Forest Reserve.  There are also lots of arts and crafts to available in Scarborough - visiting these spots are a good starting point to your vacation.

Trinidad and Tobago have a warm tropical climate tempered by trade winds with temperatures averaging 31ºC (88ºF).  The first six months of the year is dry season; whilst the latter, is the rainy or wet season, however most days have plenty of sunshine.  Owing to the positioning of the islands they tend to miss the worst of the hurricane season.
