myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

Hello all

I am hoping to go back to Tobago in September, but this time for various reasons I will probably be going alone. As a result, I'm not sure I want to go for a full two weeks, but one week is too short for the distance. Can anyone suggest a way of just going for 10 days in the low season? I'm not sure it will be possible, as XL and Virgin only seem to fly one day a week, and those are very close together. I suppose one way would be to investigate Port of Spain flights, but not sure I would gain much with the extra travel time either end.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hello Jo, British Airways fly on Thursdays and Sundays in September, but its not cheap, nearly double XL. Met a woman from Canada at Castara in January who had been on the island alone for over a month. She'd had no problem at all making friends with locals, and other visitors, and was having a great time. I don't see two weeks on Tobago a problem at all! Hope this helps, Regards, Jack.

Hi Jo-
I agree -- go for 2 wks. When you have your dates & accommodations set, start a thread on this board & make arrangements to hook up with others. We did that the last time & met some real interesting people.

Thanks for the comments. I might investigate BA, or then again might go for two weeks! Just wanted to save a bit of holiday for later in the year if I was going on my own. Will stay in Castara, or possibly split with Charlotteville for some diving with Caribstu, depending on how long I go for. I have holidayed alone before, but not in Tobago.

Will put my thinking cap back on.....
