  After snaking through bamboo and head-butting banana leaves, we were under the canopy of Tobago's Main Ridge rainforest, in sun-freckled, flower-scented shade.

• Tantalizing Tobago - Boston Globe March 29, 1998
  If Trinidad is a whale of an island, neighboring Tobago is a parrotfish.

• Bird Watching in Tobago - Savvy Traveler

  Moonlight glinted off the turtle's slick shell. Like a phantom rising from the sea, she had appeared in the shallows just after nightfall. Her flippers, like great wings broader than a person's arms, dug into the sand, drawing her hulking half-ton body up onto the beach.
