Nestled on the northeastern coast of Tobago, Manta Lodge and Dive Centre is a haven for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.


Located in Speyside, Manta Lodge and Dive Centre isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience that immerses you in the soul of the Caribbean - offers breathtaking ocean views, comfortable accommodations, and world-class diving experiences.


This eco-friendly haven is a beacon for conscious travelers, dive enthusiasts, and nature lovers who seek more than just a vacation—they seek connection, purpose, and adventure.


A Hidden Gem by the Sea

Far from the busy tourist strips, Manta Lodge offers guests a refreshing return to simplicity. With rustic Caribbean charm and warm, welcoming service, the lodge is perched just steps from the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic. Each room offers stunning views of the ocean or lush hillsides, creating a peaceful backdrop for a soul-soothing stay.


A Gateway to Tobago’s Underwater Wonders

Manta Lodge is renowned for its dive centre, which provides tailored experiences for all skill levels—from beginners to seasoned divers. Guests can explore Tobago’s crystal-clear waters, teeming with vibrant marine life, including manta rays, sea turtles, and stunning coral reefs. The lodge offers PADI-certified courses, ensuring safe and unforgettable underwater adventures.


Dive into a World of Wonder

What truly sets Manta Lodge apart is its on-site Dive Centre, one of the most respected in the region. Whether you’re an experienced diver or eager to try it for the first time, the centre offers guided dives, courses, and excursions to Tobago’s world-renowned coral reefs—some of the healthiest in the Caribbean.


Speyside is famous for drift diving and the chance to encounter manta rays, turtles, and a vibrant array of marine life. The dive centre emphasizes eco-conscious diving practices, encouraging guests to protect and preserve the delicate ecosystems they explore.


Eco-Minded Hospitality

Manta Lodge isn’t just about underwater thrills—it’s deeply rooted in sustainable values. The hotel promotes local employment, uses eco-conscious operational practices, and supports marine conservation initiatives. From sourcing local ingredients to minimizing plastic waste, it quietly upholds a commitment to caring for Tobago’s natural treasures.


Cozy Accommodations with Stunning Views

The hotel features 20 elegantly appointed rooms, each with a private balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Whether you're unwinding after a day of diving or simply soaking in the tranquil surroundings, Manta Lodge provides a perfect blend of comfort and serenity.


Culinary Delights at Coral Cove Restaurant

Guests can indulge in fresh, locally inspired cuisine at the Coral Cove Restaurant and Bar. The menu celebrates the flavors of Tobago, offering a mix of Caribbean and international dishes. Dining here is an experience in itself, with oceanfront views adding to the ambiance.


A Launchpad for Conscious Adventure

Beyond diving, Manta Lodge is an ideal base for exploring Tobago’s northeast. Guests can explore Speyside’s natural beauty, including Little Tobago Island, Pirate’s Bay, and Argyle Falls. The lodge also offers hiking trails through the nearby Main Ridge Forest Reserve, and eco-tours - take boat rides to Little Tobago Island or visit hidden waterfalls. It’s a launchpad for eco-conscious exploration, where nature remains unspoiled and deeply respected, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers.


Why Manta Lodge Stands Out

Eco-conscious ethos: Prioritizes sustainability without sacrificing comfort.

- Authentic experience: Local ownership, local staff, local flavor.

- Diver’s paradise: One of Tobago’s best locations for reef and drift diving.

- Secluded and soulful: Perfect for digital detoxes, retreats, and reconnection.


Final Thoughts

Whether you're planning a sustainable retreat, a marine adventure, or a nature-inspired event, Manta Lodge and Dive Centre offers the perfect blend of island authenticity, ecological awareness, and Tobago’s untamed beauty. It’s more than a stay—it’s a story waiting to be lived and told.
