    w/ optional rum punch party & beach BBQ

    The family-friendly and fun tour to the Buccoo Reef is one of the most highly recommended tours in Tobago. Aboard a majestic vessel with glass boxes in the floor, feast your eyes on many variations of sea life while your captain knowledgeably points out areas of interest, for half a day, or a full day with a tastefully done beach BBQ.

    Sail through the Coral Gardens & Reef Flat, where snorkeling gear can be provided to see the mystery first hand. Then off to the Nylon Pool, named by Princess Margaret on her 1962 visit, a shallow white-sand area said to rejuvenate anyone lucky enough to swim in it.

    Feeling famished? Join the beach BBQ with our captain's famous homemade rum punch on No Man's Land: music, limbo, snorkeling, swimming, or just relax and lime in the sun.

    Please bring your own snorkeling equipment if you have.
