★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 68 reviews · from $78Our pick

Review of Tobago’s Buccoo Reef glass-bottom boat tour, with snorkeling, Nylon Pool, hotel pickup, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“This tour was just ok. The driver picked us up on time but then you had to wait an hour and 15 minutes once we got to the beach before it started. The pickup time needs to be adjusted to 10:30. Also the snorkeling was NOT good. The water was extremely choppy and you didn’t really see any colorful fish. My son and I may have lasted less than 10 minutes before returning to the boat due to the water. And we snorkel all the time in multiple countries. Lastly our driver for the return was a no show!! We waited 30 minutes and he never came so I had…”

Cruise Trinidad’s Caroni Swamp at sunset, spot scarlet ibis and egrets, and enjoy a relaxed four-hour bird sanctuary tour by boat.

7.Little Tobago Bird Sanctuary Visit and Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 8 reviews · 6 hours · from $150

Review of Tobago’s Little Tobago bird sanctuary, Goat Island snorkeling, Argyle Falls, glass-bottom boat, and Jemma’s Tree House lunch.

“The whole day was amazing, from Keith, our driver collecting us at our apartment, to dropping us back home. The drive up to Blue Water was taken steadily and we arrived safely, the roads on the top half of the island aren't the best, so better to leave it to someone with local knowledge. The boat trip and hike up the hill on Little Tobago were great, be prepared for a few ups and downs on the boat, depending on the sea. Guide knowledge was excellent, our kids learned loads, as did we. Stunning views up top before heading back, via a snorkel drop off at Goat Island. Saw some…”

The water was a little choppy at the first snorkelling point but the team explained how to stay around the boat and what to do if you struggled. Met some amazing people and the atmosphere was great despite not having any music on board!”
