	Tobago News & Events Rainforest Night Safari ~ Tobago Attractions ~ Tobago Events Sport Fishing Rain Forest Night Safari Rain Forest Night Safari: Walking through the jungle at night is an experience most of us have never had, but now is your chance! Manta Lodge can help you arrange a guided tour through the rainforest with nature guide Peter Cox where you will hear and often times see nocturnal animals such as armadillo, opossum, snakes, bats, owls and more. This tour can be arranged for you once you are on island. Minimum of 4 participants required. (best to bring your own headlamp!) Tobago Attractions Fort King George: This Fort is known as Tobago's main historic site. Located in Scarborough, the island's capital, the fort commands the hilltop over the town and a huge stretch of coast and ocean approaches. It was built by the British in the 1700s when it was also captured and occupied by the French and renamed Fort Castries. The old officers quarters currently houses a craft shop and the former military hospital is now home to the National Fine Arts Centre, which displays Tobago art and sculpture. Englishman's Bay: Englishman's Bay is a 1/4 mile long, white sand beach on the north side of the island with deep, clear water and shade providing palm trees. It is a popular destination for sunbathing and snorkeling and a nice place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Local artisans sell wares in booths set up at the entrance. Scarborough Market: Just a stone's throw from the bus station in Scarborough, this outdoor market's specialties are fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and other local fare. The busiest period for the market is on Fridays, Saturdays and early Sunday mornings. The island vendors are more than welcoming to visitors, but please be sure to bring cash as the preferred payment of choice. Arnos Vale Water Wheel: The Arnos Vale Waterwheel, built in 1857 to power the mill of a now defunct sugar factory, is now the focal point of a nature park which includes a restaurant, museum, gift shop and theater. In addition to the wheel, the site still contains other industrial artifacts such as the original crushing rollers, boiler, and steam engine. The site is an ideal location for bird watchers and hikers. Arnos Vale Hotel Afternoon Tea: Every afternoon at 4pm the al fresco restaurant at Arnos Vale Hotel comes alive with birdsong as they begin tea service with patrons simultaneous to fruit and seed service to the birds! This special bird watching ceremony is well-known by birdwatchers throughout the world who consider it to be a "must do" activity. Photographers will have ample opportunity to shoot a wide variety of hummingbirds, woodpeckers, Mot Mots and more at very close range. (Note to non-birders: watching the birders watch the birds may prove to be equally amusing!)
