★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 8 reviews · 6 hours · from $150

Review of Tobago’s Little Tobago bird sanctuary tour, glass-bottom boat, Goat Island snorkeling, Argyle Falls, and Jemma’s Tree House lunch.

The drive up to Blue Water was taken steadily and we arrived safely, the roads on the top half of the island aren't the best, so better to leave it to someone with local knowledge.
