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.

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!

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

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!
