Buccoo Reef Glass-Bottom Boat Tour

Glide over one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful coral reefs on this private glass-bottom boat shore excursion in Tobago. Perfect for cruise passengers of every age, this relaxed half-day tour takes you straight from the port to Tobago’s underwater star attraction – no swimming skills required.

After a convenient pick-up right by the harbour entrance at around 10:30, you’ll board a comfortable glass-bottom boat and set out across the warm, turquoise water. As you cruise, watch tropical fish, sea fans and living corals drift by beneath your feet through the boat’s glass panels, while your friendly English-speaking guide shares the stories and ecology of the reef.

You’ll explore the protected Buccoo Reef – the largest coral reef off Tobago – before anchoring at the legendary Nylon Pool, a shallow, crystal-clear sandbank in the middle of the sea where you can swim and float in waist-deep water. There’s also time to snorkel over the vibrant coral gardens off the island’s south-west coast, spotting colourful reef fish in their natural habitat.

This is a private Bakadi Dreams excursion run in small groups, so you enjoy personal attention, a flexible pace and – as always – a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
