Wonderful experience on...

Brennan_B, Feb 2025

Wonderful experience on the tour with an excellent guide and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend for a day trip in Tobago!

Book the 7AM to have the entire reef and pool to yourselves!!!

Warren_H, Jul 2024

Captain Bruce and his crew is the best. Coming to Tobago, the Nylon Pool and Buccoo Reef are a must. But you have to beat the crowds! I strongly recommend this private tour at 7AM embark. You will have the reef and Nylon Pool to yourselves. No rush, no fuss. Captain Bruce will bring local fruits and snacks that compliment the experience perfectly. I had my 85 year old mother in law with hip and joint issues along, and she did well with Captain Bruce and his crew assistance. We even got to No Man’s Land prior to trips end and was a highlight. Just spend the money and book this! You’re welcome. Thanks Captain Bruce! Also, in reading some other reviews that have negative feedback for the company not clarifying this tour is on the island of Tobago and not Trinidad, well… the reviewers first need to get a clue and do some darn research themselves 🙄😂

Nice Captain, very...

Nice Captain, very knowledgeable on local marine wildlife, with a sharp eye. He spotted seaturtles underwater. Boat is in great condition just gets a little wet sometimes. In all great experience

Fun in the Sun at Buccoo Reef

Robert_B, Feb 2024

Thank you Captain Bruce for giving us an amazing day in Tobago at Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool. We had a small group tour and were able to do what we wanted. The lunch at Nolan’s Land was wonderful. Bobby grilled a wonderful red snapper and chicken. The Rum Punch was outstanding. I would do this again!!

Pristine and beautiful. An unforgettable experience!

Carol_S, Feb 2024

WOW! This stop was the highlight of our cruise. We had never been to Tobago before and generally book through the cruise line on a first trip to an island. Took a big chance and we are so glad we did! The nylon pool, mango hole, and no mans land stops were so pristine and amazing. Brandon took great care of us. The boat and the cab ride weren’t fancy but we were treated very well and had an amazing time. We would definitely do this tour again!

Perfect day out Buccoo Reef & Nylon Pool

Mark_C, Jan 2024

Excellent tour and such a great experience. Would highly recommend the tour as great Captain and very knowledgeable.

The online booking was misleading!

Margaret_W, Sep 2023

The online booking was misleading, but Captain Bruce got us upgraded to the glass bottom boat and we had the best experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

the most important thing is that they had a fun time and Captain Bruce was always willing and made their visit a pleasant moment. we hope to see them with us soon

Best Tour in Tobago

Kelly_S, Aug 2023

This tour was the most memorable part of our trip. Brandon made sure we felt comfortable, and safe. We went to the reef, the nylon pool, and no man’s land. Honestly one of my best experiences on a boat. The entire trip he was extremely informative. He went above and beyond in making sure we had the best time ever. We even had some extra time a threw out a few lines and caught a barracuda. We did the smaller boat since it was only two of us but he does offer a tour with a glass bottom boat. I definitely got all my moneys worth with this tour, and I couldn’t be happier. If I come back to Tobago I’d definitely do it again!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

We are pleased that you have memorable and fun moments with us. we hope to see you again soon to enjoy the wonders of nature

Buccoo reef adventure

Nylon Pool loved the little fishes nibbling on my feet. The entire experience was wonderful and fun.

Epic Failure, Refund request nightmare

Petra_W, Feb 2023

There were no memorable parts, I waited from 9:40am until 10:30am, no show. Tried a Viator rep who had me on the line for ever and then stopped talking (I have her name) and the boater did not answer his phone until late afternoon when he refused to take responsibility. Had to make allernate plans on the spot after 11. No one want to take responsibility and refund me

Response from Host, Feb 2023

We really appreciate that you take the time to write this review unfortunately it was late we left at 10:00 a.m. that morning we left with three German guys you will also see the that I can send you the confirmation booking that they had and they leave exactly at 10:00 so I don't know which one of the port you been to but we leave from buccoo . If you couldn't make it you could have let us know and we could offer you a ride to drop you off there so that way you don't miss your 10:00 appointment. the problem with this you don't want to take responsibility to let them know that you were late we leave exactly at 10:00 we waited at 5 minutes and we left. Because I also speak spoke to you and you had this attitude and I told you exactly that we are leaving at 10:00am you wanted a refund and I told you exactly it's not refundable you get there at 10.00am and we will take you out. It's not really nice to have but I guess waiting for you and you're not there so we had to leave exactly the time that we belongs to leave. Brandon

Don’t miss this perfect experience!!

Crystal_B, Feb 2023

The coral reef is absolutely stunning and Nylon pool is a marvel. Lunch on No Man’s Land was delicious.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Really glad that you enjoy your tour we are looking forward to see you again sometime soon.

Great early morning trip with the guys from fish Tobago!

Andrea_D, Jan 2023

We went early in the morning. And i was the only client on board, as so under water, in the nylons pool and on no- man‘s-land. It was great… even though the visability was not perfect but great, and there were many turtles and stingrays as well…..

Great trip to the reef

Richard_R, Jan 2023

Great private trip on a Boston whaler out to the reef for two snorkel dives riding the current over the reef. And then a romantic dip in an ocean “pool.” Highly recommend this trip for one or two couples

Relaxing and Beautiful Adventure

Gary_S, Feb 2022

We had an excellent time out on the water with Brandon and the other guests. He was very communicative with information for our planning and he was joyously friendly. He made sure to be considerate of my wife's pregnancy in where she sat, how he drove the boat, and how she got in and out of the boat. The various stops at Nylon Pool and Pigeon Point were beautiful and relaxing, never feeling rushed, but adaptable to our schedule. Snorkeling along the reef was a delight and, even as someone with a fear of sharks and deep water, I felt safe and secure the whole time. I would do this tour again and would certainly recommend it to others. But remember to keep applying sunblock!
