Frankie Tours is run by the family that has worked this coast for more than 30 years: glass-bottom boat days on Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool, the Main Ridge rainforest, and deep water ten minutes out.

N° 01 the land
Take the high road.
Open-top jeep or cool mini bus over the island's spine, fishing villages, forts and
clay ovens, lunch near a waterfall, then down to the loveliest beaches on the Caribbean side.
The Main Ridge, protected since 1776, is the oldest legally protected forest reserve specifically established for environmental conservation in the Western Hemisphere.
Hummingbirds you'll see nowhere else, waterfalls to swim under, trails for every pace.
Marlin, sailfish, wahoo, mahi mahi. Boats rigged with GPS and fish-finders, a captain
who's fished these banks all his life, novices and professionals alike.
Glass-bottom boats over the reef Jacques Cousteau ranked third in the world, then a
swim in the warm, waist-deep Nylon Pool. The classic, for a reason.
From March to August the giant leatherback hauls ashore on Tobago's beaches to nest. Once
the sun starts setting until late night, we take you to watch these ancient creatures up close, an
experience of a lifetime. We cannot promise turtles will beach, but if they do, we will be there.
Cruising into Scarborough? We meet you at the terminal and run a shore excursion, glass-bottom
boat over Buccoo Reef, a swim in the Nylon Pool, island highlights, always back before sail-away.
Every Tobago tour and excursion we run, with prices: boat trips to Buccoo Reef and the
Nylon Pool, island and rainforest tours, fishing charters, cruise ship shore excursions and
car rentals. Don't see your adventure? Ask us, we organize any tour or
experience on request.
Also at your service: 24-hour taxi with meet & greet ·
boogie boards, surf boards, kayaks & water fun gear · custom-made tours ·
nights out to Sunday School and the clubs with the safety of local guides.
Just ask.

Fun times with a very considerate crew
The Captain was really nice and funny, the whole crew was very considerate about all
guests being comfortable. I would definitely go again with Frankie Tours next time in Tobago.

Amazing day out in Tobago!
A modern, comfortable boat with unlimited complimentary food and drinks. Amazing snorkelling
locations, the service, staff and hospitality of the crew were second to none!

Greatest experience I've had in the Caribbean
We took the coastline snorkeling & beach BBQ tour. The staff was great,
the scenery breathtaking. It was so much fun.

Fun and frolics with Frankie Tours!
The snorkelling was incredible, especially at Englishman's Bay, the best I have seen, and I
frequently snorkel in the Belize cayes. The perfect hosts, and great value for money too!

The best coastal tour ever
Only one word can express the quality of the tour: FANTASTIC. We left on time, and we saw
dolphins, a school of about 18 just off No Man's Land. Frankie Tours & Rentals is the best!

Booking
Three steps to the good life.
Booking is quick and secure: reserve your tour online and pay your deposit by card or bank in minutes.
Choose your tour
Pick the tour you want, half or full day, your preferred date and how many guests
(adults, children) on our booking page. Planning something custom or off-menu? Email or call
us and we'll set it up for you.
Pay your deposit
A 50% deposit secures your booking, paid securely online by card or bank at
book.frankietours.com. You get an instant receipt by email. Only bookings with a paid deposit,
or written confirmation from Frankie Tours, count as booked.
Show up, hop on
Settle the balance before departure and keep your receipt handy. Then the only job left is
enjoying yourself. We always leave on time.
Deposit & reservation
Payment for your tour is arranged before the time of departure. To secure your
tickets, Frankie Tours asks for a deposit (50%), paid securely online by card or bank
at book.frankietours.com.
You get an instant receipt by email. Only official receipts from Frankie Tours will be accepted,
show yours to our representative on request.
Only bookings with a paid deposit, or a written confirmation from Frankie Tours, are
considered a booking!
Cancellations, weather & no-shows
Frankie Tours will always attempt to do the scheduled tours on time, and in case of
weather conditions or other out-of-our-control situations, re-schedule for the next
possible time. Only the Frankie Tours representative in charge of the tour, and the boat
captain, can decide if a tour is to be cancelled because of weather conditions.
If you are unable to join a scheduled tour, for any reason, Frankie Tours will allow you
to re-schedule up to 3 times without losing your deposit.
There will be no refunds for cancellations less than 24 hours before start. Special
custom tours and group tours must be cancelled at least 4 days before start.
A no-show for a tour gives no right to any refund.
Some of our tours require a certain minimum of guests before we can make the tour
happen (Coastline, BBQ etc.), schedule your tours as early as possible, and have a few
alternative days ready.
Any questions about your scheduled tour? All our contact information is on this website,
and if you are unable to use e-mail while you are in Tobago, or need a quick answer,
give us a call instead and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Watch out for fake representatives
From time to time, people pretend to represent Frankie Tours and accept payment. They are
not associated with us in any way, and their fake bookings will not be accepted.
Always pay your deposit through our official booking page,
book.frankietours.com, and keep the receipt you get by
email. For any payment in person, make sure you get a signed receipt from a printed receipt
book, not just a plain one.
Questions we get every day
Before you book a Tobago tour.
We're already in Tobago. Can we book a tour for tomorrow?
Yes, call us: we answer the phone 24 hours a day. Email replies usually come within 24 hours, so for a trip tomorrow the phone is fastest. The sunset cruise, the lagoon cruise and the coastline snorkeling trip leave daily.
We're visiting from Trinidad for a few days. Can we join a tour?
Of course. Every tour is open to local visitors, and a rental car comes with free delivery and pickup, including at the airport in Crown Point.
Which tours suit families with children?
The Buccoo Reef glass-bottom boat is our most family-friendly trip: you see the reef through glass panels in the floor, the Nylon Pool is shallow, and the boat carries life jackets. The sunset cruise and the lagoon cruise run in calm, sheltered water. The booze cruise is for adults only.
How do I book and pay?
Book online at book.frankietours.com: choose your tour, date and group size, and pay a 50% deposit by card or bank. You get an instant receipt by email. For custom or off-menu trips, email or call us.
Can you arrange a tour that is not on the list?
Yes. We organize any tour or experience in Tobago on request, including custom cruise shore excursions, private charters and combinations of the trips above. Tell us what you have in mind.
