About Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago sit just off the Venezuelan coast and hold two islands of very different character. Trinidad is the larger, busier island, with Northern Range rainforest, the Caroni swamp and its scarlet ibis, the Pitch Lake, and Port of Spain at the centre of carnival; Tobago is quieter, ringed by reefs and beaches such as Pigeon Point. The dry season from January to April brings settled weather and clear diving, while the wet months are hotter and greener.
