I honestly don't know what I expected, but it was something a bit more grand than what it was. Maybe if it weren't talked up as much as it was, I would have appreciated it more. It was just 4ft deep water a ways off the shore. Nothing more spectacular to it. All the boat excursions dock in the same area too so it seems very scripted as well.

It is so cool to be standing up to your knees way out in the ocean. An experience not to be missed. Our glass-boat driver got into the water with us and found two large sea urchins for us to see and hold. The sand has an exfoliant effect - really softens your skin.

This is a must do while in Tobago. We took the Cool Runnings boat out to Buccoo Reef, the Nylon Pool and no man's land. They had big speaker playing music, supplied water and gave a great presentation on the Buccoo reef. Once we arrived at the nylon pool everyone got off the boat and for at least an hour we swam and listened to music. It was perfect for couples and families. What an amazing time!!

My boyfriend and I bought tickets for regular boat tour however the boat we were placed on was a chartered party boat, unknown to us. We were lead to believe it was a regular tour boat and we would be back before dark. The party boat (which contained quite a few sketchy characters) stayed on no man's land well after dark, with no intention of leaving. The person in charge (who was also a part of the party) stated he would put us on another boat back to pigeon point. This boat took us to another glass bottom boat and stated that boat would take us back to pigeon point. The person on that boat had no idea about this plan so we were left stranded on a boat with a strange man, at night, no idea where we were. We were now left to figure out how to get back to pigeon point on our own. Thankfully, there was a road close by, but we still had to walk barefoot to civilisation at night, scared for our lives.
Worst experience I've ever had in Tobago. Never trusting this tour again!!!!!! Would never recommend!!!

It is a beautiful place but.....we only enjoyed maybe 30 min there,when we were taken by private boat. Noone there, amazing, clean water,just us,so perfect!! And then....all boats and jet skis arrived! OMG, the noise,the fumes,the loud music,that was horrific. We actually asked our tour guide to go back, as we felt uneasy and unsafe with all these people around,drinking alcohol and running jet skis so close to us,in the water.
This place is supposed to be about nature and beauty and tranquility ,if they will be doing this for longer,well...there will be no natural beauty anymore.

I was told one looks 10 years younger after swimming here. Lies! I'm 68, and still look it. Oh well, it was still enjoyable. Came here with Captain Phillips from Buccoo Bay, nice small boat, I think there were 8 of us, plus 2 crew members. You will know Captain Phillips if you see him, as he is the Islands' most handsome man (so he says). Perhaps he was also the one who told me I'd look 10 years younger. Our outing wasn't as crowded as this main picture shows, either. It was a pleasant trip.

Had a trip out here yesterday and it was fantastic. Being able to walk out in the middle of the ocean was an experience you need to have . Now legend has it that a woman gets 10years younger and a man 10 years wiser, if a couple kiss under water you are destined to stay together forever. ( choose carefully)

What an amazing breathtaking experience. A must see, the nylon "pool" is a largecoral sand bar in the Bucco coral
reef , Tobago that provides a shallow calm clear turquoise pool for swimming snorkeling jet skiing. We took a glass bottom boat from Pigeon Point Beach. The boat operators were knowledgeable and entertaining. the enticing warm shallow water made it a fun exciting day for everyone in our party including the littles

You are in the middle of the ocean and on top of coral that has broken up enough to be equivalent to course sand. All around you are reefs and the ocean. Larger boats that bring out the big crowds have stereo systems playing reggae and Soca music full blast. Take the small glassed-bottomed boat in Buccoo Bay. You will be given a little tour on the way to the Nylon Pool and they stop around some reefs and will let you snorkel a bit. Also, he will show you the cottage where Princess Margaret had her honeymoon in 1962. She was amazed at how clear the water is and compared it to nylon stockings - and so the name of the Nylon Pool.

We took a boat trip out to see Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool.The Reef was a bit of a waste of time,as you can't really see it in a glass bottom boat and the fish all swim off because of the boat scares them off!However we did have fun at the Nylon Pool,which is a waist high,perfectly clear pool of water in the middle of the sea.It is a great place for splashing and messing about in and with all the other boats stopping there has a good party type atmosphere.

I would love to bring my 4 year old and 10 month old is this tour ok for them being accompanied by us(their parents) of course
Written May 2, 2019
I think it’s ok to go with kids in general but tour is not something special indeed. Ships are very simple with small glass “windows” on bottom so you can see corals etc. Bouts are very popular for party lovers so be ready that there will be crowd dancing and drinking. So I personally wouldn’t go there with 10m old. I don’t think anybody cares about security as there are no life jackets but all tour is not going far from coastline so I guess therefore it’s pretty safe.

Is the Nylon Pool only accessible by boat?
1) Is that something you need to book in advance?
2) Do you get to snorkel off the boat?
3) How long are the tours if you need one?
4) Do they provide any beverages or do you BYOB?
5) How much is it?
Thanks so much! Looks beautiful!

Hi my answers are the same as the others. Except you can walk to the pier in Pigeon Point and ask for Ringo as he is the boat captain. He was great and offered drinks. I watched him helping a person with disabilities to acess the Nylon Pool and also to climb onto the upper deck of the boat. Snorkling was available and experienced and beginners were catered for. I paid £12.

Hello,
I am planning on taking a trip to Tobago first time and would like to return to Trinidad the same day so I wanted to do the 11am nylon pool tour then have lunch, so how late do you think I should book back my return flight to Trinidad?

Every time I go Tobago I take the 4/5 flight simply because after you come back from Nylon Pool you may want to swim on Store Bay also.
After that you can walk around in the market and get nice little trinkets to take back...their rings are pretty.
Food wise....walk along toward the junction...there's both local and foreign foods...Bollicine is a lovely little place for salads while La Cantina has great pizza...further up has Arabic and fast food.

Hello
Did you just take a taxi to Pigeon Point Beach and then book a boat tour to the nylon pool from there?
Thank you!
Written December 4, 2016
No. We took a small boat from Castara. However, we did consider doing what you suggested, but chose to go by boat instead.
