OVERVIEW

Observe the rich biodiversity of Tobago’s marine life by cruising through pristine waters on a glass-bottom boat and then snorkeling, if you wish. Upon arriving at Pigeon Point Beach, you will wade into the ankle-deep water just off shore and board a glass-bottom boat, your window to the world underwater. First, you will pass over a coral garden inhabited by brain, starlet and elkhorn corals. It will be an excellent prelude to what lies ahead at Buccoo Reef. Designated a marine park and no-fishing zone in 1973, the reef is relatively flat and the water shallow. Whether you decide to observe the marine life through the boat’s glass bottom or by snorkeling, you will surely see an endless parade of brightly colored tropical fish. You may also catch sight of endangered leatherbacks, green loggerheads and hawksbill turtles before heading off to Nylon Pool. While visiting in 1962, Princess Margaret named the idyllic pool for its shallow, translucent waters.
