Family Activities in Tobago Turtles! Nature attractions are also a big draw on Tobago. Of special
interest are the leatherback turtles who come to nest on the leeward side
of the island between March and August. Come out after sunset between
7pm and 5am for the best chance of viewing these large marine turtles
when they come ashore to lay between 80 and 125 eggs in the sand. The
tiny offspring make their run for the sea about two months later. In the Water Divers often head straight to Speyside, located on the northern tip of the island. Here they might have the opportunity to swim with giant manta rays; dolphins, turtles, whale sharks and porpoises are sometimes spotted. This area is especially rich, with a profusion of coral growth and marine life, because of Venezuela’s Orinoco River. The river’s nutrients flow through the Guyana current that brushes Tobago and provides the island with some of the Caribbean’s best diving. Back to Trinidad and Tobago with Kids
