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.

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!

This experience was truly amazing!! Our tour guide Ms. Edith was so knowledgeable and personable. She was funny and gave a robust history of Tobago on the land tour.

Excellent tour with guide who gave us so much information about the island's history and natural history.
The reef and nylon pool something not to miss.

It was a wonderful day. Special thanks to our tour guide Edith who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and safe. Her knowledge, patience and contacts were amazing. Our day with her was very full and satisfying...the sights, the food, the people, the history, the geography. Thank you Edith! Much love until next time

Fabulous experience and highly recommended. The boat trip and Pigeon point area were just superb but for us having Edith as our guide made it the 5 star experience. So friendly and knowledgeable and we went out on another trip to the North and the rainforest as she was so good..

This tour was very well planned and thought out. First we were picked up on the dot and taken to pigeon point beach where from there it was beyond amazing

The first half of the tour was better organized, the driver was on time. However the tour should have included more scenes. The second half of the tour had communication problems, we were kept waiting over 2 hours for the boat to pick us up from the dock, despite informing our contact person. In addition, we were not informed of the name of the boat, when asked for the boat name. At no point in time were any Viator signs displayed. More importantly, the Reef was dried up.
