A trip to the Buccoo reef and Nylon Pool . It is one of the most famous attractions and things to do in Tobago but you have to get the right boat with the right guides for this experience. I will recommend the Boat Millennium 1, Captained by Chilly . All you have to do is go to Store Bay... More

Glass bottom boat trip was fantastic experience, but be prepared to get wet boarding and leaving the boat as there is no pier and you need to wade out to the boat. Saying that everything else was great including the snorkling and Nylon pool, a very fine coral sand reef you can walk on as it is only a few... More

The Coral is very much alive, and there were lots of different kinds of fish to see. We arranged a trip out to the reef, just the 4 of us, from the beach at Pigeon Point, with the owner of Power 1, a glass bottom boat. We stopped at the Nylon Pool first, then went to the reef. Once we... More

What a beautiful reef.............lots of variety of corals and wildlife to be viewed in glass bottom boat tour. It was sad and disgusting that some members of another tour boat harvested live coral as souvenirs. There must be a law against doing stuff like this.

Spectacular sights of fish and coral....plus a Manta Ray. If you wanted to you could snorkel off the boat. We didn't as we were getting off the boat straight into a taxi.

We spent the day here and had a wonderful time! Dimples helped us with the chairs & Sugar Lips offered a 2 hour boat trip to the Nylon Pool, No Man's Land & snorkeling. It was a fun day and we met a lot of very, very nice people!

One of thebest reefs in the West Indies which is not well known for its coral reefs. Totally unspoilt and an amazing abundance of brightly coloured fish and corals. Well worth paying for a glass bottom boat trip.
