Stunning location. Steep climb to the top but fantastic views once you get to the viewing sites at the top. More

Little Tobago is a short boat ride from the Blue Water Inn, we were lucky to have only 4 in our little expedition. From climbing out of the boat onto the little jetty and hearing the 'laughing gulls' this place seemed so far away from civilisation. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the birds and plants. It was a fairly... More

Firstly, flat bottomed boats are barely adequate for the portion of the sea crossing from Goat Island to Little Tobago; we went in calm weather but still quite a swell. To be fair, the helmsman looked experienced and confident. Secondly, on Little Tobago the range of birds was limited. It proved interesting but underwhelming. Thirdly, the snorkkle stopover on the...

I loved hiking up and down Little Tobago. Make sure you're in shape. I developed buns of steel after hiking up and down the island, but, it was paradise. More

Take a boat trip over to Little Tobago Island, leaving from Speyside and you will enjoy a walk among the beautiful lush vegetation and birdlife of this uninhabited island. The guide will show you the Sailbirds who have to dodge the Frigate birds who are trying to steal their catch and the young birds in their nests. He is very... More

Easily doable from the lovely Blue waters Inn, via Frank's glass bottom boats. We had an excellent guide, but he was from another group, just along for the ride More

We took a guide, Nelson George, to LIttle Tobago. The boat ride was fun and the birding was great. It's important to work out in advance with Nelson, though, what you want, how long you want the tour, and what the cost will be. We went with other people and they were taking professional photos. They wanted to stay in... More

We took Top Ranking Reef Tours glass-bottomed boat to Little Tobago. Our guide, Randy, was amazing. He spotted birds we didn't see until he pointed them out, and he could identify them better than we could. We were able to see several morphs of the various boobies that live on the island. We also were able to get very close... More
