Tobago, the smaller of the two islands forming Trinidad and Tobago, lies in the southern Caribbean and is famed for its lush rainforests, coral reefs, and serene beaches. Historically, it changed colonial hands over 30 times, mainly between the British, Dutch, and French, before uniting with Trinidad in 1889 under British rule. Couple of fun facts about Tobago: (1) the island inspired Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, and (2) goat and crab races are traditional Easter celebrations.
