    This is the snorkeling you’re looking for
    Amazing snorkeling experience! Brandon is so fun and he took us to some incredible places. We saw rays and so many colorful fish and coral reefs, shallow and semi deep. They have everything you need. Go early if you can! The two people on our boat had even gone out with him just days before.

    Tour Operator with Lots of Integrity
    I was really looking forward to this experience. Unfortunately, the seas were too rough on the day of my tour and the trip had to be cancelled. The boat could have gone out, but the visibility would have been poor for snorkeling. I really appreciated the honesty shown. Even more appreciated is that they refunded my payment knowing that this was my last day on the island and that I could not reschedule. I believe the gentlemen I spoke with was Brandon and he's a class act.

    Absolutely worth it
    Took the whole day tour without any former deep sea fishing experience. The trip was absolutely fantastic and Brandon is an absolute legend at knowing fish, where they are and how to get them. Even spotted some dolphins on the way back. By far the best experience I had on my vacation so far.

    A great time!
    The guide is really knowledgeable about the area which helped so much when spotting wildlife on the reef. He is helpful and friendly too and you feel safe knowing he is watching out for you when snorkeling.

    Wonderful experience, after the swimming in the glowing water we even got to see rays, turtles and fish! "Captain Bruce" really looked that everyone was leaving happy that evening.

    Amazing experience
    Amazing tour, Brandon made sure we were able to see everything we wanted. That man is a legacy at turtle spotting. Great time in and out of the water. Even caught some tuna on the way - absolute wonderful experience!

    Great boat day trip on the west coast of Tobago
    Brandon provides a great service, we fished our own lunch and it was the perfect addition to the food he already had on the boat. Nice, relaxing and fun way to visit Tobago's west shore beaches. Highly recommended!

    Incredible experience at Buccoo Reef & Nylon Pool!
    My family and I had such an amazing time on this tour! Captain Bruce is an amazing guide (and photographer) and we learned so much about the reef and its history. I didn’t want it to end! I highly recommend booking this tour if you’re in Tobago and want an exciting, authentic experience at Buccoo Reef.

We did this trip on our last night on Tobago, Brandon arranged transport from our accommodation so I didn’t have to drive. We went by boat to the lagoon, where we swam in the dark, the bioluminescence is magical. We then had some rum and music at Nylon Pool, followed by a bonfire on the beach, more music, rum, and delicious roasted breadfruit. Brandon and Philip are very good company and it was a fun last evening, I felt safe & relaxed.

Fun. Entertaining. Beach cooked Tuna tasted excellent. Disused any Turtles but the Bioluminescence was fascinating.

This experience was very interesting and beautiful. It was a once in a life time experience with good company.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable. He's from fish tabago. He was helpful and even provided kayaks for those who were experienced.
The atmosphere was wonderful, everyone had a wonderful evening.
At the end of the night we went to an island and had a bonfire with music and good laughs.
I highly recommend this adventure!

A magical experience. We went out when it was raining heavily which if anything made the experience even more thrilling! It's so beautiful swimming amongst the bioluminescence that it becomes addictive, you won't want to leave!

There was no bioluminescence so it was disappointing. Staff were entertaining and friendly but return was quite late behind schedule.

Had the most incredible time with Bruce Brandon as captain. He made the experience so fun and it was so unique to see. Would without a doubt return and do it again but only with him! The best on the island. Can’t wait to come back!
