We had an incredible hiking tour through the Gulpin trail in tobago’s main ridge forest reserve with Darlington Chance. Darlington was incredibly knowledgeable about the plants and animals living in the forest. He had lots of stories about the history of forest and island and we felt so lucky to have ended up with him as our guide. It was clear how passionate about conserving the forest and telling its stories Darlington is and I don’t think he was joking when he said the animals hear his voice and come out (it definitely seemed like they did!). We saw so much and learned so much from our tour which we wouldn’t have otherwise and would throughly recommend this hike and especially Darlington as a guide to anyone!

The oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere. Hire a guide for fascinating hikes and birdwatching. The biodiversity is remarkable. It was a rainy day (hurricane Beryl was developing) when we went or it might have got a 5 stars from us, bring mozzie repellent and decent shoes as can be very muddy on the paths when the rain comes.

The oldest legally protected forest reserve in the Western Hemisphere. It's a haven for biodiversity, home to numerous bird species, including the rare white-tailed sabrewing hummingbird. Hiking trails wind through the lush rainforest, offering opportunities for nature walks, birdwatching, and spotting local wildlife. Either hire a guide or do it alone, we had a guide from the local area who was incredibly knowledgable and added to the experience.
