Scarborough is the capital and main town of Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago's smaller, greener sister island, set on a hillside above its harbour and crowned by historic Fort King George. It's the island's administrative and commercial centre and its gateway port for cargo, reached by the inter-island ferry from Port of Spain. Tobago's gentler pace, beaches and tourism draw both returning Tobagonians and a steady stream of relocations, so shipping here covers family barrels and full-home moves alike, with a final inter-island leg from Trinidad.
Whichever yours is, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs and ships from the UK, clears the goods, and arranges the inter-island leg to Tobago.
From a single barrel to a whole home, here's how most people ship to the islands.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
Home after five years away? Bring effects and a vehicle in.
