Taxi driver and guides were very knowledgeable. Imparted excellent knowledge of the area. History and flora and fauna An easy walk through the natural forest and time at the waterfall. Good walk on little Tobago , our guide had been a warden there for 28 years so was exceptionally well informed . Glass bottom boat was interesting but difficult at times to get your eye in and spot the fish! Excellent lunch at Jemma’s!

5 out of 5 stars

A great tour with a knowledable guide who tries to save local species like his father and grandfather. Loved the experience, as it was unique, but just wished I took my camera or had a better phone. Caught some good pics, but could be better, so be advised: camera with good zoom and quality advised! But even without it I think its a must attraction on Trinidad!

5 out of 5 stars
