The experience

The tour opens with a drive along Tobago's Windward coast, passing through small villages on the way to Argyle Waterfall's ticket office. From there, an easy 20-minute walk cuts through secondary forest thick with cacao, mango, cedar and Poui trees. The kind of vegetation that gives you a sense of what the oldest protected rain forest reserve in the Western Hemisphere actually looks like. The waterfall itself drops 54 meters in stepped cascades into clear spring-fed pools where you can swim. Showers and changing facilities are available at the main building when you're done.

After Argyle, the route heads to the Caribbean coast and Arnos Vale, where Adventure Farm sits as a bird lover's destination. Up to 50 bird species visit the farm daily, and you'll have a chance to see up to five different types of hummingbirds close-up. The kind of proximity that makes photography possible. The farm is built around these birds, so the time there is spent watching and photographing rather than moving between stops.
