Birdman tours Tobago was excellent! Learned a lot about the local fauna and flora. Highly recommend it. Great at spotting hummingbirds

My husband I haven’t visited Tobago before, Michael introduced us to this treasure trove of sight and sound. He was friendly, helpful with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the nature on the island. We had the opportunity to take loads of photos and enjoy a refreshing swim at the Argyle Waterfall. Little Tobago and the rainforest were also part of our tour besides a complete drive around the island noting loads of points of interest. To top it off, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Jemma’s tree house cafe which sits on a magnificent beach. Thanks Michael for an amazing day.

Do yourself a favor and spend your time at Tobago with Michael. "I'd give him 12 stars if I could." - my wife Tobago is a small but beautiful island, you do not want to miss out on what it offers by failing to book the right excursion or by settling for a large group tour that will only scratch the surface. With Michael, you'll be in good hands and truly experience the best Tobago has to offer while learning so much about the wildlife and culture. When we visit again, I know who I'll be calling.

Michael was prompt when collecting us for a trip to The Argyle Waterfall and then birding in the Main ridge rain forest reserve. His knowledge of all birds and general wildlife in the area is second to none. We found and heard birds which otherwise would never have detected.

I highly recommend this tour with Michael. I booked the Birdwatching, Waterfall, Rainforest and Island Nature Tour. The tour was absolutely great and Michael was the best tour guide you can have. I was picked up on time and driven along the coastal road of the island to the Argyle waterfall (take a change of clothes & towel it is fun to get in). Another highlight of the day was the Giplin Trail in the rain forest where we got to hear and see many amazing birds! Michael is very knowledgeable, funny, professional and enthusiastic

My husband and I booked a Birdwatching, Waterfall, Rainforest and Island Nature Tour and I can’t recommend Michael and the tour highly enough. We were picked up promptly and driven along the coast road on the Atlantic side of the island to the Argyle waterfall where we spent a lovely time wandering up the path to the waterfall itself. Next we went to the Giplin Trail in the rain forest where Michael took us for a two hour walk pointing out a wide variety of plants trees and birds. He is so knowledgeable, funny and enthusiastic we simply had the best time, and learnt a lot about the history of Tobago as well as the flora and fauna. The views of the beaches on the Caribbean side of the island were spectacular and Castara beach, our final stop beautiful. I am delighted we found Michael online as today’s trip was an amazing end to our stay on the island.

We had a fantastic day birdwatching with Micheal. He was very knowledgeable about the birds in Tobago and found us plenty of the rarer species. The vehicle was very spacious and comfortable.

We found Michael through a recommendation from another guest at our hotel, helpful as there are so many tours on offer, both on line and from the hotel itself. We agreed the plan the day before and also the price. He turned up on time and off we set for our tour of Tobago. I must say his driving was excellent, no crazy moves like some of the cabs we’d been in. He really delivered, we saw all the spots he’d promised and he’s so knowable about the rain forest and all it’s inhabitants. He had a good local restaurant booked for lunch and we enjoyed the fresh food and company.

I booked directly with Michael Gobin, birdman of tobago, at his request rather than booking through Viator or Trip Advisor. I read all the positive reviews and felt reassured that he was professional and trust worth. So I did , naively, agree to pay him in advance for four separate tours for four people.  He was engaging and keen and appeared very genuine. He said he would give us a good itinerary and kept in regular touch with us while we were still in the UK. When we met on our first day he tried to persuade us to book more tours we agreed to one more and again paid in advance so he could pay his contacts. He only provided two tours and the communication dropped off and despite promising to repay us and giving many explanations we never received a refunded of any money. Please learn from my mistake always book through an agency and do not give this man any money in advance and do not pay him directly. I have no recourse and no support to get my money back. He owes us just shy of £1000 , $1270 USA or $8637 trinidad and tobago dollars. Michael Gobin, I am so disappointed that despite your reassurances you have failed to pay us back, your actions really did ruin our holiday and left me unable to share beautiful tobago with my friends like I had planned, shame on you.

Jason Radix is an excellent guide to Tobago. We saw a lot, learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We were in Tobago for one day and spent our day with Jason Radix, the owner of Tobago nature tours.com. He has worked in nature-related tourism for more than 30 years. We saw much of the island and learned about the history and cultures of Trinidad and Tobago. We saw many lovely beaches and went for a hike in a huge nature preserve. Jason pointed out many birds and plants that we would have otherwise missed. He is quite knowledgeable about the local plants and their botanical names, and quite adept at finding the local birds. This was a wonderful experience on Tobago!

Michael was an amazing guide and all round nice guy. He was able to pick us up from our rental place and took us to the Argyle Waterfall, and then to the Rainforest. Michael’s knowledge of the rainforest and island is second to none, and was able to quickly identify rare birds and fauna that we would have otherwise would’ve missed. When we come back we will make sure to be in contact.

Showed up with an 8 passenger van for 9 people. No room for us so I left. He told us to try to squeeze in. Not happening. Won’t be uncomfortable for six hours. He’s no professional travel guide.

We were very lucky as we drove ourselves to see the Argyle falls and we met Michael who took us on a wonderful walk in the Rainforest. His knowledge of the wildlife and especially the birds is amazing. You can tell he is passionate about his island and wildlife. It rained while we were in the forest but that just added to the experience. He then took us to the beautiful Argyle falls where we had a refreshing dip. We would highly recommend Michael.

Michael is a lovely man full of knowledge and love for his Island and wildlife, and when it comes to birds he is the best, we asked to experience the real Tobago away from the crowds. We first did the rainforest walk, we were the only ones there and saw so many different birds, some rare, and he was patient with our slow walking, he also bought us delicious roti from a local kitchen. The second trip was around the island, we saw every beach and bay, so many villages and Michael told us the history of the names, we stopped for a while at a few places, including a swim in a waterfall, once again just us and the locals, lunch was at a local cafe and it was delicious. The third trip was to little tobago to see the Boobies catching the flying fish and the frigate birds trying to steal it of them, we went over in a little boat with a couple of local guys who were very attentive and showed us some places on the way, once again we had the place to ourselves and the views of the birds were spectacular, the trip was rounded off with seeing a Tiger Owl sat in a tree looking at us with his cute face while we ate another delicious roti. Although we are a bit wobbly on our feet and have breathing problems Michael who is as fit as a fiddle, and never even broke out in a sweat ,was never impatient with us and still found loads if interesting things for us to see and do. Once again a lovely man who understands the essence of the island. If I knew how to upload photos you would be amazed.

It was really nice and very educational experience. I can recommend it. Really nice nature and birds.
