Long-term holiday on Tobago
Who doesn’t dream of spending the winter in the Caribbean with a long-term holiday? Tobago, in particular, is the perfect place to fulfill this wish.

Organize accommodation before the trip
A long-term holiday requires good preparation. Tobago-Live supports and accompanies the organization of flights, accommodation and life on site.It is important to have arranged accommodation for your stay before you start your journey. As with a shorter stay, the address on Tobago must be given in the appropriate form when entering the country. Many hosts offer particularly favourable conditions for long-term rentals. As a rule, these offers are not openly communicated on the Internet and depend on the occupancy rate of the house and one’s own negotiating skills. Thanks to our good contacts to selected providers of apartments, holiday flats and houses, Tobago-Live guests always receive exclusive advantages.
Health – also important when travelling
It is advisable to plan any necessary medical care or medication in advance. In the case of specific chronic illnesses, a specialist or general practitioner and the nearest pharmacy on Tobago should be located before the trip.
The best travel time for a long term holiday
Temperatures on Tobago are stable throughout the year. The seasons differ only in the number of sun and rain hours. More information can be found on our page “Climate & travel time”.
The largest selection of accommodation at reasonable prices is available outside the months of January to March, which are in high demand. Especially during the carnival days the prices will rise at short notice. This also applies to flights, so that arrival and departure should take place outside the “great days” if possible.
Also the European autumn and spring have their attraction on Tobago. The period from May to June lures with the egg deposition of the spectacular leatherback turtles, from October to December the plants begin to bloom and dip the island in beautiful colors. The sporadic rainfalls cool the air pleasantly, so that excursions and explorations are more bearable than with continuous sunshine.
Sun worshippers, on the other hand, are recommended to stay from January to April. The sea in this window also offers the best conditions for snorkeling.
Pay attention to quality when renting a car
For a longer stay, the choice often falls on a rental car. The flexibility of an own car allows an independent exploration of the island. As in many other holiday areas, the condition and safety of the vehicle should be decisive for a rental on Tobago in addition to the price. With a longer stay, the tenant is in a good position to receive discounts on the regular rental price. We are happy to give you tips and recommendations on trusted car hire companies in Tobago.
