Let's Meet up in Tobago!

May 8, 2024 to May 13, 2024
Tobago, Republic of Trinidad & Tobago

Join Me, BaldGirlWillTravel on a Girls Trip to the island of Tobago!

Tobago is a natural authentic and unspoiled island that is part of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago.  It is located 22 mile northeast of Trinidad and about 99 miles off the north coast of Venezuela. Tobago is home to multiple species of birds unique to the island. The island has over 50 waterfalls, multiple gorgeous beaches and hidden caves and coves.  Tobago is an unsung beauty of the Caribbean. It is also a food lovers paradise where you will enjoy their famous curry crab and dumpling or crab and callaloo and my personal favorite brown stew chicken and macaroni pie!

Join me as I celebrate and enjoy my 3rd Mothers Day on the island where my late Mother was born.

We will do excursions around the island and visit some of my most favorite places! I hope that by the end of this trip each of you will understand why I love this island so very much!
