Cycling & mountain biking
Cycling in Tobago can be split into two types –
easy rides around the flat southwest, and challenging mountain biking in the centre and east.
Easy Goers Bicycle Rental in Crown Point can cover most cyclists’ needs – with mountain and road bikes, child-sized bikes and even tandems. Rental starts at a very reasonable £8 per day with cheaper rates for weekly rentals.
This makes it an exceedingly economical option for guests staying in the Crown Point area – from here you can reach Buccoo, Bon Accord Lagoon and Pigeon Point in minutes, with Mt Irvine and the beaches of Great Courland Bay less than a pleasant hour’s pedal away.
Easy Goers also offer tailor-made, guided tours – both mountain and road biking, with vehicles to drop you off and pick you up.
Tobago Mountain Bike is the two-wheel expert. Tours last three to four hours and include
beginner routes around the flatlands and mangroves, waterfall trails and
expert-only rides along the hills of the Main Ridge, or descending along single tracks from the highlands of Moriah to the beach. One of the highlights of cycling this region is the ability to access places vehicles and hikers simply can’t; Tobago is tiny, so finding a truly hidden spot is a fabulous reward for your aching calves. The tropical sun is fierce though – so keep well hydrated.
If you fancy a bigger challenge, the
Tobago Cycling International Classic is an annual multi day race in late September to early October. Growing in popularity since its inception in 1986, the event now draws cyclists from around the globe.
