The wind flow over the island can create perfect conditions on either side giving so much variety. For beginners, the best area for instruction is on Lambeau Beach where the wind is steady and before high tide, the sandy beach is wide. For progression and practice, the flatwater inside Bucco reef at Pigeon Point is pure paradise. Once confident and adventurous, then exploring the island with Kitesurf Safaris mobile team is the ultimate aim.

For the advanced rider, there are many possible locations for kiting when the wind or sea conditions change. On the east of the island is the Atlantic Ocean with shore breaks and waves; on the west is the Caribbean with clear warm flat water.

Sailing Spot & Conditions

On a good day, mainly from December through to June, the conditions are some of the finest in the Caribbean. At Pigeon Point is a protected by Bucco Reef which lies up to one and half miles off one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Inside the vast lagoon, the flat, crystal clear, shallow water is a sailor's dream. This is ideal for beginners or speed sailing. On the outside, when the conditions all come together, the swells can rival those on the North Shore of Maui.  

For kiting, the island has several spots. Lambo Beach for beginners and Bucco Lagoon for improvers and for practising tricks. If you are looking for a location for mixed abilities or families Pigeon Point is ideal

Culture

Often twinned with neighbouring island Trinidad, this tiny island republic is one of the most southerly in the Caribbean chain. Tobago is only 26 miles long by 7 miles wide, yet offers visitors much with its unhurried lifestyle, lush tropical scenery and choice of activities. The center of the island provides wonderful trekking terrain through tropical rainforest to spot exotic birds and wild flowers. As a complete contrast, the western edge of the island is low and flat; a classically Caribbean landscape of swaying palms, secluded half-moon bays and white sand beaches. The islanders welcome visitors to this peaceful island. A trip to the Capital, Scarborough, to see the colourful markets or the Carnival with its calypso and steel band isa must.
