Mountain Biking in Tobagon
If you thought Tobago was only sun-bleached beaches and water sports, think again. Tobago is the new Caribbean destination for mountain biking offering trails that range from easy coastal cruises to breathtaking descents and single track climbs that would challenge the fittest and most experienced biker. Tobago’s bike trails have something for every level. They are designed through some truly spectacular scenery whether alongside the ocean or up through the rainforest, past stunning waterfalls and an abundance of exotic flora and fauna. You cross streams to reach pools that are perfect for cooling off with a short swim. Along the way you keep your energy levels up with a selection of delicious local fruits. One of the trails runs on a single track which starts at an elevation of between 1000 and 1500 feet and descends along the edge of a ridge through two miles of steep terrain and rutted track. This is definitely not for the fainthearted even though it offers a panoramic view of the ocean and beach far below, and the lushness of the surrounding hills. The trail takes you right down to the water’s edge.
