Tobago is one of the Caribbeans unspoiled islands, it's fantastic beauty and natural charm slowly hypnotise the visitor into daydreams of staying long past their original return dates. At Pigeon Point the offshore Bucco reef has created an ideal tropical lagoon windsurfing set up. Acting as a breakwater the reef protects the Bon Accord Lagoon from the turbulence of the open Caribbean Sea.

The winds are normally East to North East from October to May, averaging 12 to 20 knots. During spring they switch East to South East, about 8 to 15 knots until the rainy season in July. There is always the occasional exceptional day in between. November to January have the most constant strong winds. The best intermediate and basic level learning conditions are in August to December, as low tide makes water conditions very smooth in the lagoon. June usually produces the strongest winds averaging 25 knots.

For kitesurfers this island is one of the only places where you can still boast to have been one of the first - if not the first - to ride a number of spots! Either way within 15 minutes you can change from riding the waves of the Atlantic Ocean to the flat water and reefs of the Caribbean Sea. It's not hard though as the island is only 26 miles long and 7 miles long meaning you're never far from a kite spot. You don't have to be a seasoned rider to enjoy the conditions on offer here and lessons are available meaning you can learn in the warm and crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. For more details on this please see our dedciated Kitesurfing programme Planetkitesurf.

Tobago has a whole host of bars and restaurants to visit at night some, like the Divers Den, can get very lively. Eating and drinking on the island are really reasonably priced.

There are no visa requirements for UK citizens entering Tobago. You will need to pay a £10 departure tax.
