The beauty of the nature of Tobago once inspired Daniel Defoe to let his famous castaway Robinson Crusoe land there. The island appeared to the hero as a planted Garden of Eden, and it is still impressive today. Main Rich Forest Reserve is the earliest preserved virgin rainforest in the western hemisphere (since 1776. Arawak people were the first settlers on the island. Later the Caribs came from South America. The name Chistopher Columbus gave the island in 1498 was Bellaforma, later it became the name Tobago from Tobacco, which was growm on the island. Tobago was colonised by the British Empire. With the colonization different plants come to the island, such as cocoa and sugar cane. Plantations of these plants were driven with the labour force of slaves until the abolishment of slavery in 1833. The island state Trinidad and Tobago belongs geographycally to South America, because of its nature. At the end of the last ice age melting glaciers caused the sea level to raise turning Trinidad and Tobago into islands. Ian Flemming was inspired by the book Birds of the West Indies, written by the ornithologist james Bond, who made his research on Tobago and gave its name to the very famous protagonist of his romans: the British secret agent, Commander James Bond. The documentation shows also the different fishing methods of the tobagonians. Some still fish in a very traditional manner by throwing the fishing nets into the sea and pull them back on the beach. The locals sell the fish at the market in Scarborough. Liming ist the tobagonian art of doing nothing. People get together, drink and play cards. And of course music plays an important role on the village. Every Sunday is Sunday school, a huge street party featuring bands playing the steelpan

Such a beautiful and also very interesting place! I have to include it in my top next goals! When I travel I always take my travel playlist with me, including classics like One by Metallica, Lateralus by Tool or new bands and songs like for example Wasted by Delta Parole, what travel playlists do you fellow travelers love and listen to?

this video is incorrect. the steel pan was not invented in Trinidad and Tobago. It was invented in Trinidad. the steel pan is made not from a piece of steel but from an oil drum and there is only one island in the Caribbean that has oil and that island is Trinidad. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

My friend let me correct you about the steel pan not somewhere down the line someone struck a piece of metal and like this sound as a Tobagonian and me as a Trinidadian I'm somewhat ashamed that you don't know the history steel pan. It was invented or created by a gentleman named Winston spree Simon.

What a pity that having made such an effort to travel the island so extensively and film so beautifully, they proceeded to present a narrative that was so littered with inaccuracies as to render the production unusable. Fact checking was non existent. 10/10 for effort 5/10 for achievement.

Made in 2014. Rowley has destroyed the economy since then! Thats socialism for ya. TnT is my second home. Sad to see them ruining the country by voting for demokkkrat-like socialists. Venezuela should be an example of whats to come.

I'm surprised the documentary does not mention the excellent diving in that island. The many nutrients of the Orinoco River delta reach the waters of Tobago thus the sea life around the island is rich and diverse.

When the guys pull seine in Stonehaven, in hardly ever see any fish so I don't know why they continue to do it. There is no fish sold on Stonehaven, and very little fish at Mt Irvine

Don't intend to spoil anyone's fantasy, but Robinson Crusoe was based on the real life marooning of Alexander Selkirk on Juan Fernandez Island, about 500 miles from mainland Chile.

How about they were trying to replicate the xylophone that was common from the West African culture from which they were stolen. African did not show up tabla Rasa to the new world
