Best place to see Tropic Birds and Boobies with great snorkaling (lots of Turtles) all around. However can be a bit choopy on the way over so perhaps best ot take a pill.

A bit limited in views of the nesting areas of seabirds but did see lots! Saw frigate birds and a peregrine close up, but in the forest on the way up had difficult seeing what the guide had spotted (it is a forest).

Worth a trip. You have to have a guide to get here and the only challenge is finding a good one. But most are reasonably good. Fun to combine with snorkeling

An amazing chance to see Magnificent Frigatebirds and Red-Billed Tropicbrids in action. Go with an experience guide - Newton George is recommended, so that you get the most out of the experience.

Only accessible by boat and disturbance kept to a minimum. Close views of nesting birds such as Audubon's Shearwater and Red-billed Tropicbird.

We travelled across by glass bottomed boat as part of a day trip with Wayne Kennedy's Tobago Island Tours. It is quite a climb to the top and the path is uneven, but the views are good and the flora and fauna interesting.

A short boat ride from the Blue waters inn and you are on Little Tobago. The guide will tell you all about the history and point out things worth seeing, but the view from the top is brilliant. It's a bit of a walk, best not done in flip flops. Again a place to visit if you are a bird... More

It's a short trip from the Blue Waters Inn out to Little Tobago, the rep at our hotel had talked about the crossing being quite rough, but it was absolutely fine the day we went. There is some rough walking but it's really not that bad, you just need walking sandals as a minimum, otherwise trainers or walking shoes. We... More

We went at the correct time of year for the red tailed tropic birds to be nesting. Fabulous, you got so close to them and could clearly see the chicks, they were totally unafraid, just so beautiful to see them and also to see them flying. Lots of other birds too and we were told there are other birds nesting... More

You go there by glass bottom boat and even get the opportunity to snorkel on the way, but we all felt that the current was too strong for snorkeling. The view down on the reefs by glassbottom boat was pretty awesome. On the island you can only get with a guide, ours was pretty good, and we saw some local... More
