Dinner and Drums

Every Wednesday night the Boathouse Restaurant is transformed into the party venue of Tobago! People come from all over the island to enjoy a dinner of traditional Tobagonian dishes followed by an evening of African drumming and limbo dancing.

Time

We start serving dinner from 6pm. Come early to claim a good spot on the deck. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail as you watch the sunset!

The Entertainment

After dinner, prepare to be entertained by our fantastic drummers! Don’t relax for too long, though! You will be invited up to dance. It’s hard to resist the African beat. Even non-dancers will find themselves strutting their stuff!!

A flavour of what to expect!

Be sure to join in with the limbo dancing. There are prizes for the best participants.

How low can you go?? Not as low as this guy, I’m sure!! 🙂
