Discover the fascinating history of Tobago, a 116-square-mile tropical paradise that changed hands numerous times during the colonial era before eventually becoming a ward of Trinidad in 1889. A relaxing drive from Scarborough follows the island's main road to the city of Plymouth and two must-see sites: Fort James, overlooking Great Courland Bay; and the tombstone of Betty Stiven, with its cryptic inscription that has baffled visitors for centuries. Your next stop is at the gorgeous Mount Irvine Bay Resort, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea before continuing to Fort King George. At the 17th-century hilltop fortress, you'll get a dose of history blended with amazing ocean and island views. The on-site Tobago Museum features a rich array of pre-Columbian artifacts, military relics, old maps, and more, to round out your tour of Tobago's history.
