We were picked up by the lovely Edith from cruise port and then picked up another passenger at a resort and made way to beautiful Pigeon Point Beach. Edith kept us well informed. Because the boat operator was running behind we killed about an hour at Pigeon Point. I guess it was bonus time to watch wind & foil surfers. The sights were stunning! Once we boarded “Reef Boss” captained by Ron, we quickly moved to the reefs. Lots of corals and fish. These corals were not colorful unfortunately, their white tops indicate they are stressed due to changing environment. We did see a large string ray while snorkeling. That day the currents were really strongly and you could easily float to Trinidad! LOL, just be aware. Our Edith kept a close watch on all her people and for that deserves 5 stars. Afterwards we went to the Nylon Pool and got to see some small green turtles, and once anchored it was at that point it felt like we were now on a Rum Runner excursion. No drinks served but you can purchase from a little dingy boat in the area. Afterwards we went to “No-man’s land” where there were food & drink vendors (who were operated by friends of friends?). I gave a 4 star for a couple reasons: 1. Description of tour and what we did was a bit off. 2. Lots of “dead time” waiting. 3. This excursion felt like a co-op of sorts - whose running the show, who do we tip?!

Edith who arranged the trip went above her duty in making our experience so enjoyable. We didn't expect the amazing sights of coral, tortoises, baby shark and stingray and beautiful fish, albeit the current was strong so had to hold onto a rope to ensure safety. Edith came with us and ensured we enjoyed all that the trip offered. We stopped at the Nylon (a sandbank) where we exfoliated ourselves with the sand on the bottom of the sea, which they say is good for your skin. Last stop was at no man's beach where you can buy food and drink sold by the locals. Even our driver Dennis gave us a short tour of Tobago, which wasent included in the price. Excellent trip for the price however don't expect the glass boat to be luxurious (none of them are) but it did the job.

Edith the guide was wondeful. SH e was very knowledgable about the local area and animals and stayed with us during the snorkelling as the current was very strong.

A little shower didn't stop us from enjoying this cruise excursion. Husband snorkeled while I stayed on the boat. The stop at the sand bar to swim had almost everyone in the water. Boat was a little rickety but sea worthy and the view from the glass bottom was amazing. Guide didn't use a microphone so those sitting behind him could not hear. Also, there was no restroom on the boat. It was a good time nonetheless.

This excursion was overpriced by double. You can get the same excursion on the beach in Tobago for 150 TT. They told us to get there at 10 but the boat didn’t leave till 1130. The crew members themselves were friendly. It’s just the boat didn’t come with any amenities like water, music, etc. if I had paid half of the amount that I did, I would give a different rating.!

This tour was amazing! Everyone in my family, husband and 3 sons (ages 6, 12, & 14) thoroughly enjoyed this trip! Although it rained while we snorkeled, my 12 yr old who is generally apprehensive about getting into deep was join in on the fun and love it! The Nylon pool to the codes and food on No Man’s land were a great addition. The crew members were knowledgeable and engaging. My only complaint is that I wished the trip was longer!

Edith was our guide for the tour. She took us to Pigeon Point where we had about an hour to explore. She provided us with advice where to shop and what to try. Prior to boarding the boat she also briefed us on what the tour would include. During the cruise she was a wealth of information about the coral and fish on the reef and at every stop information was provided to enhance our experience. The glass bottom boat allowed us to view the reef with ease and stops included snorkelling to see the fish and corals, nylon pool, and no man’s land where you could purchase local food. She was also aware we were doing another tour with a different company the next day and was more than willing to provide information which assisted us to ensure our safety and comfort on a that tour. Yes the information provided allowed us to update that tour company which greatly improved our experience with them. Thank you Edith for a fabulous tour and would highly recommend her as your tour guide.

We were accompanied by Edith who was an excellent knowledgeable guide. We travelled to the reef on a party boat (Frankies) which was apparently noisier than the one normally used, however it was fine. She reassured me to jump into the sea to snorkel when we got there. There were lots of different coral types to see but not many fish. We snorkelled for about 15 mins with a rope trailing from the boat for security. At Nylon Pool there were 3 other boats present with some locals selling drinks and offering rides on jet skis. It is an exceptional spot and just before arriving there we did see a turtle from the top deck of the boat. At No Mans Land we followed Edith's advice on what to eat and it was a good choice. Our boat stayed there for approx. 30 mins then returned to Pigeon Point. If you can get to the boat pick-up point by yourself, you can do these activities without needing a guide.
