Not worth the money

Not worth the money, very little illumination to be seen but a nice boat ride and good music, worth roughly about a quarter of what we paid.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. The bioluminescence can vary depending on natural conditions such as moonlight, weather, tides, and water movement, which can affect visibility on any given night. We’re glad you still enjoyed the boat ride and music. We always aim to provide a memorable experience and appreciate your honest comments, as they help us improve for future guests.

Magical Bioluminescence Experience!!

Brandon “Captain Bruce” was a great guide. He was very communicative and early for the excursion which made everything flow so smooth. We got in the boat and explored Buccoo Reef and nylon pool with a beautiful sunset as the backdrop. He made sure my daughter and I saw turtles and eagle rays! But as soon as it got dark enough The bioluminescent plankton were magical. Brandon drove to different spots to seek out different covered bioluminescence. We found silver, white, and green variations. It was an awesome experience I’ve never done before and I highly recommend it.

Operator response

It was truly a pleasure taking you and your daughter out to explore Buccoo Reef, the Nylon Pool, and the magical bioluminescence. I’m glad you both enjoyed seeing the turtles, eagle rays, and all the different glowing colors in the water—it really is a special experience here in Tobago. I appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another adventure soon! – Captain Bruce 🐠

Never fails to delight

Brandon is brilliant in every way. He goes over and beyond to make your experience a memorable and happy one. Ive used his services on a number of occasions and he never disappoints. on this trip his boat was not working which was a shame as its lovely but, he went out of his way to make up for us not being able to use it. He tried very hard to get it repaired and and come up to Castara where we were staying but I really did not want him to put himself under any undue pressure as he'd already gone through a lot to give us the trip we asked for and more. I would not hesitate to recommend him, he's fun, friendly and extremely helpful. one of the best if not THE best! we stayed overnight at his guesthouse which was delightful, clean well presented and very comfortable. Brilliant!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to hear that you’ve enjoyed your experiences with us over the years. I'm really sorry the boat wasn't available this time—believe me, I was just as disappointed—but I’m glad we were still able to make the trip memorable. Your understanding and support mean the world, and I’m grateful for the chance to host you both on the water and at the guesthouse. You're always welcome back anytime—looking forward to our next adventure together! Warm regards, Brandon

Fantastic

Awesome. We did the private tour, just with the family, and the night ride on the boat was super relaxing and the effect of the bioluminescence was surprising. In addition, the full moon accompanied us

Breathtaking experience

We went out with captain Bruce after he promised to show us the bio luminous waters, he did not disappoint! It was an incredible evening experience with great hospitality and a really amazing interaction with the bio luminous, from swimming in it to watching from the boat. A must if you’re in Tobago!
