A
honeymoon is a special experience that can be
made even better when you visit the right
place. A Tobago Honeymoon offers you a great
chance to enjoy yourself and the place as well.
Unlike other Caribbean islands, Tobago is less
busy and a perfect place for a relaxing
vacation.
It is
actually the smaller of two islands comprising
a republic known as Trinidad and Tobago.
Located in the southern Caribbean Sea it is
southeast of Grenada and northeast of
Trinidad.
Tobago has only about
300 square kilometers of land area, although it has a lot
to offer. It is of volcanic origin and has many hilly
regions throughout. There are large amounts of coralline
limestone throughout the island. Among all of the
Caribbean islands it is the one with the most preserved
forests and natural scenery. With a tropical climate the
island has two seasons: dry season between January to May
and wet season between June to December. It lies outside
of the Hurricane belt and has minimal
rainfall.
In
2000, it only had a population of 54,000,
with about 17,000 of the people living in
the capital of
Scarborough.
There
are seven other parishes within Tobago
known as Saint Andrew, Saint George,
Saint David, Saint Paul, Saint Mary, St
John and St
Patrick.
The
people of Tobago are primarily from
African Descent though the island has
been inhibited many different countries
and even became a British crown
colony. This rich cultural diversity
results in a very interesting mix of
Tobago
attractions.
This island relies
greatly on the economy of Trinidad since both are linked.
Tourism is of course on top of the list when it comes to
the main means of the economy making the place ideal for
a Tobago honeymoon.
Getting here has also
been made very easy as you can (without great difficulty)
find flights to Tobago that is well
priced and also rent a car
in Tobago.
Here tourism is
focused mainly on conventional beaches, protected
forests, water based sports and other things which help
to promote the preservation of their natural resources.
It has become a popular diving spot thanks to its
location where there are numerous coral
communities.
With three wrecks
within its boundaries tourists can view the Maverick
Ferry which is the most popular of all. Once in the
waters tropical fish, turtles, sharks and rays can all be
viewed as well.
Throughout the island
the Trinidad and Tobago dollar is the currency used, so
if you are planning on going on any tours or doing any
activities you need to make sure that you have this on
hand. You can also have some major foreign currency on
hand like th US dollar. This is usually also accepted at
major accommodation spots like the big Tobago
luxury hotels and all
inclusive resorts in
Tobago.
Other than tours on a
Tobago honeymoon you can also enjoy other
things.
Dining can be a great
experience given the three different influences that the
food has. You will find dishes that are Creole, Chinese
or Indian in nature. A lot of the dishes
that you will find in the island may have been barbequed,
cooked with coconut milk or stewed. Aside from these
three major influences you will also find a hint of
Spanish, European and Lebanese cuisine.
