Tobago City Highlights And Folklore Show

OVERVIEW

Enjoy the considerable highlights of Tobago, taking its colonial forts, natural beauty and a traditional folkloric show that describes early life on the island. The first stop will be clifftop Fort King George, the island’s best-preserved historical monument. Continuing on, you will stop at the Mysterious Tombstone, which bears a puzzling epitaph from the 18th century. It lies in the shadow of Fort James, a British-built fortress constructed with coral stone in the 1800s on the site of a picket post where soldiers watched for enemy invaders. The views are sweeping and well worth a photo. The sights will be just as impressive on the other side of Tobago, as you will discover while driving through the lushly landscaped Mount Irvine Bay Golf Course. Finally, at the Fairfield Cultural Centre, you will be greeted with a welcome cocktail before being seated for a traditional folkloric performance. Expect an energetic, exceptionally entertaining show as the costumed singers and dancers perform.
