Tobago is one of the top destinations on Wanderlust’s list of the best places to travel in 2026. This best travel destinations list highlights the top destinations to visit in 2026. The island joins other destinations such as Croatia, Nepal, Puerto Rico and Portugal.
Good to Go is curated by the editors of British travel brand Wanderlust. The list highlights the destinations that offer the most meaningful, responsible, and storytelling travel experiences in the year ahead.
Tobago’s inclusion on the list is a fair recognition of the island’s natural beauty. It also started a conversation about the Main Ridge Forest Preserve. The reserve is the world’s oldest legally protected forest reserve established for conservation purposes. The reserve benefits from legislation enacted 250 years ago in 1776.
The main ridge is located in the UNESCO-designated Northeast Tobago Biosphere Reserve. It is home to more than 660 species of plants, 128 species of birds, 37 species of mammals and 22 species of non-venomous snakes, some of which are native to Tobago. The reserve is a must-visit for bird watching, wildlife and hiking tourists.
Wanderlust editors fell in love with Tobago’s thriving biodiversity and birding. The island continues to attract visitors seeking “authentic, immersive and responsible experiences”. Tobago offers rainforest adventures, rich culture and warm hospitality, all of which will enhance your vacation.
