Hāʻawi kēia mau mokupuni i kahi kalena makahiki o nā hanana moʻomeheu a me nā ʻahaʻaina ma nā mokupuni ʻelua, ka launa ʻana, nā lāhui lehulehu a me nā manawa kupaianaha no ka hoʻokele kaiaola: nā mea a pau mai ka lele manu a hiki i ka holo wāwae a hiki i ka luʻu a me ka ʻimi ana.
Ma ʻaneʻi e ʻike ai i ka nani o nā mokupuni, he pūʻulu o nā mea nūpepa koʻikoʻi o ka honua, e komo ana i kahi huakaʻi Carnival Familiarization (FAM).

Hāʻawi ka mokupuni ʻo Tobago i kahi quintessential Caribbean vibe me nā kahakai kaʻawale, nā kauhale quaint, nā villa pilikino a me nā mea hoʻokipa eco lanakila. ʻO Tobago ka home o ka ʻaʻa lolo nui loa ma ka Hemisphere Komohana a ʻo ka mālama mālama mua loa ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana, ʻo The Main Ridge Rainforest. E hele mai e makaʻala i Trinidad a me Tobago-ʻo ka Caribbean maoli!
