The tour continues across the island, through small villages and towns, with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. We stop in a small town called Plymouth where we wrap your mind around the “mystery tombstone” and the 17th century ruins at Fort James. Here the inscriptions on the tombstone baffles all who reads it and the stories behind it have become a great conversation starter.

It's time now to free your mind and explore the underwater world of the beautiful Buccoo Reef! Board a large, covered, glass bottom boat that allows you to see the colourful fish and coral formations of the reef through the glass. Enjoy the soothing ride along the picturesque coast; the breeze is truly refreshing. You can see angel fish, parrot fish, butterfly fish and many others. Marvel at the brightly coloured plants and sea shrubs in the lush coral gardens where you will find both hard and soft coral species. The next stop brings you to the most exciting part of the tour – snorkelling! Feel the excitement of swimming among exotic fish in the soft waters of the Caribbean Sea. Snorkel equipment is provided. The friendly captain and staff will assist if required

The boat journey continues until it is time to stop at the amazingly beautiful Nylon Pool. Paradise is found! View this shallow, sandy area in the middle of the sea; the water is crystal clear and very inviting. Here, you'll be able to swim again, take a walk on the soft seabed or simply float – all along enjoying the beautiful vistas of the coast. The legend says that the Nylon Pool has the power to rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit. Feel the warm, tropical water on your skin! The boat is equipped with life jackets, masks and snorkels at no extra charge. Upon return to the shore, your driver awaits you for your return drive to the hotel.

Wonderful Day Tour

My spouse and I had an amazing day tour with Edith, who was an absolutely fantastic guide! She was so accommodating, people-oriented, and incredibly knowledgeable about Tobago’s history and culture. Edith made us feel comfortable and ensured we all had a great time. The highlight of the tour was definitely our visit to the stunning Nylon Pool — a truly unforgettable experience! Thanks to Edith, we now have such pleasant memories of beautiful Tobago. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a friendly and informative guide!

We spent the day with...

We spent the day with Edith and she is a wonderful guide! On the boat, she had a book to show us some of the fish we could see in more detail, and we learned a lot about marine flora and fauna. She took us upstairs on the boat to watch sea turtles and rays. We then took a drive around Tobago with her, and she told us stories and answered our questions. She is very friendly, very funny, and a wealth of information. We really enjoyed our day with her. I highly recommend this excursion. Thanks again!

Great for groups. Family or friends.

This travel experience was truly unique and well worth the effort. Despite the rainy weather, we managed to make the most of it. Our tour guide, Edith, was incredibly accommodating, especially considering our young toddler’s “challenge everything and everyone era.” We were pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information about the land and sites we learned during the tour. My partner, a native of Trinidad, didn’t have to drive or guide us, which was worth it on its own. We were a group of six adults and one child, and everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed multiple parts of this tour. We would highly recommend it.

A wonderful day in paradise.

This was an excellent tour and great value for money. We had to change the day and this was not a problem. There was just myself and my wife and we were picked up by our guide, Edith, on time and didn't get back to our hotel until 7.5 hours later. She gave us so much information about the history of the island and also about its natural history. It was a truly memorable and fantastic day and we have no hesitation in recommending this company and Edith in particular.
