Full Island Tour (Including Lunch & Snorkeling)
Description
Terry's Tobago Fun Island Tour is the most popular tour among island visitors, and for good reason. While we do offer shorter island tours (such as the Highlights of Tobago Half-Day Tour), this all-day tour is the best way to make the most of your trip and really see what Tobago is about, including just enough history, culture and beach to satisfy everyone’s interests. Be sure to bring your swimsuits and some dry clothes so you can snorkel in some of the island’s breathtaking hidden bays. An authentic Caribbean lunch is included with the tour, an experience in itself. Your guide will pick you up around 8:30 a.m. and drop you off around 6:00 p.m. NOTE: The tour vehicle has air conditioning; however, the local government has recommended it not be used due to COVID-19. Please feel free to speak with your tour guide further regarding this local guidance.

Itinerary
The first stop is on the North Atlantic Ocean side of Tobago. This is the best preserved historical site with a chance to see the old canons from the battles in 1770’s. It is a destination steeped in rich history and offers one of the most breathtaking views of Port of Spain and the sea beyond.
Explore the cocoa trees, colonial coco house and experience cocoa beans tasting–if we can get to them before the parrots do!
The tour also includes a visit to Speyside Lookout to see “Goat Island” which was the former home of Ian Fleming the author and creator of James Bond. We will also be able to see “Little Tobago” which is better known as “Paradise Island,” now a bird and wildlife sanctuary. We pass through some small villages and along the way we will see the famous “Jemma’s Tree House” restaurant. This part of the tour will also include a stop at the ruins of the largest water wheel built by the Scottish in Tobago.
Charlotteville is the highlight of this tour. We head to the north of the island to Charlotteville, the gem of Tobago where the Caribbean Sea flows along the coastline. You have likely seen the beautiful photographs taken of this area. Tobago’s best kept secret is “Pirates Bay” which we certainly hope will be the most memorable part of your day. You will enjoy a short private boat trip to a secluded wild beach. Lunch is also included and you will get to taste some of our local Caribbean delicacies. Snorkeling equipment is also provided so you can enjoy the beautiful underwater landscape and nature at its best. After a few hours enjoying this bay, you will bep icked up by boat and taken to “Pink Sand Beach” (better know as “Lovers Bay”), a private beach only accessible by boat. What a great way to connect with nature, relax and unwind, and simply spend a few hours enjoying this peaceful paradise.
We will then continue our tour down to the Caribbean side of the island where breathtaking views combine with the setting of the sun to see the island in its top stunning beauty. Finally, we drive back down the west coast of the island to Crown Point where we end our day at 6:00 p.m. You will then be dropped off at your hotel.

An excellent tour visiting most of the island. Learnt a lot about the history and culture as well as seeing the sights. Varied and fun.
The tour was fabulous! I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great overview of the island. Terry is an incredibly kind and knowledgeable guide who shared so much insight about Tobago. He was a pleasure to chat with and an excellent, very safe driver. Communicating with him was also very easy via Whatsapp. During the tour, you get a detailed look into the island’s colonial history and visit pristine beaches such as Englishman’s Bay, Charlotteville, and Parlatuvier Bay. I even got to see stingrays! Terry really knows his way around and always makes an effort to show the best photo spots. Thanks again for choosing such an amazing lunch location!
If you love history and nature. This is a must do! We had a great time with Terry, he is very knowledgeable and took us to all the great spots in Tobago. I can't wait to return with a large group.
Terry was prompt on the pick up, drove well and took the tour at a nice pace. I enjoyed chatting to him as we drove around. Great views of the island. Saw three different types of rays when snorkelling and plenty of fish too.
This is an unhurried tour over a full day giving us a good sense of the island, its beauty and its history - with a good mix of landmarks and beaches. Enjoyed snorkelling on several beaches and with sting rays. Terry kept us well fed and hydrated with local food - a lovely lunch and coconut water, raw sugar cane juice and even a suck-a-bag along the way (together with water and soft drinks). Terry is an engaging guide and a pleasure to be with throughout the day, dedicated to ensuring we had the best tour imaginable. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Terry is wonderful. He made sure to take care of my senior mom. We were only in Tobago for one day, so ge also curated our experience so that we could see all of the Hotspots. Thanks Terry!
It was a good half day tour.. Terry was nice but had a toothache and had to cut short the trip within 5 hours when it was meant to be a 8 hours trip but whatever time was spent was great.
Terry was an amazing tour guide---so knowledgeable, entertaining, caring, wise. He took such good care of my mother, who is in her 70s, and made sure she experienced everything. He took us to see beautiful overlooks, gorgeous beaches, and more. I highly recommend this tour.
A great mixture of history, culture and nature. Terry is a first class guide, adapting the trip as required and providing a wealth of information about Tobago and its people.
