    Get in

    [edit]

    The airport TAB IATA is at Crown Point, just 10 km west of the Scarborough centre. Ferries (with a car service) although irregular will enter here.

    A bus from the airport to herr will cost you $3T but tickets must be bought in advance. Alternatively a local taxi should cost you less than $20T. The hire taxis can be more expensive ($90T).

    Get around

    [edit]

    Taxis

    [edit]

    The easiest way to get a taxi is by the Doubles at Castries Street/north side road but these will cost you a lot more than the local taxis near KFC. Make sure you pick the taxi stand marked with the direction you want to head (e.g. west/north).

    A local taxi to Black Rock will cost around $10t but expect $100+ at Castries street.

    See

    [edit]
    • Fort St George - There is a museum and a fantastic view over the bay at Scarborough. It is highly recommended for a sunset visit.

    Do

    [edit]

    Corbin local wildlife, Near Mason Hall. Roy Corbin is helping educate people so that many of Tobago's endangered wildlife such as armadillos, ocelot, snakes and caimans do not get eaten by the locals. There is some great birdwatching to be done here and tours (by appointment only) are affordable ($25usd) and educational!

    Buy

    [edit]

    Eat

    [edit]

    There are far fewer options here in comparison to Crown Point. Most places do not stay open late so options are a little limited and opening hours are unreliable. Do not rely on Google maps - many places listed no longer exist or have changed opening hours.

    Cow heel and pig tail soups are very easy to find around here. Chinese restaurants open quite late.

    Drink

    [edit]

    Sleep

    [edit]

    As well as several hotels there are many more affordable Airbnb options.
