So, besides having a full day of adventure, beauty, and great food, we also had the pleasure of great conversation and sharing. Perhaps because he is Canadian and Trinny, he really knows how to marry a well crafted, substantive experience with a free wheeling, spontaneous adventure. Don’t even think about using any other guide. Just call David, tell him what kind of experience you want, and he’ll exceed your expectations. read less

David knew that I was not a first-timer, so he set up an itinerary of some pretty cool hidden gems around the Island, that definitely impressed me. We set out for Main Ridge from Castara, and spent the morning exploring the forest. From there, we continued around the Island, making all kinds of different stops that the average tourist would never see (but they are secret, so you’ll have to ask David to show you ). Lunch at Jemma’s treehouse restaurant was delicious, and the rest of the day went by so quickly, with another set of unique and interesting stops along the way. I’m going to be writing a full blog post on the experience, but I just wanted to post this quick review in the mean time. Island Girl Tours is the best tour company on the Island, and I will 100% be recommending David to anyone heading that way. Thanks David! read less

Everyone says there's was the best but you never know, especially when you're travelling somewhere without knowing anyone. We called David from Island Girl Tours and right away made you feel right at home. He asked us what we personally would like to see and took us out the night before the tour for a welcome drink. The next day on the tour he took us to what felt like every piece of the island. You can tell he loves what he does and goes over and above to give his guests the best experience while they are here. So glad we ended up choosing Island Girl Tours for our island tour. read less

Remarkable Tour with a Six Star Guide Had two days of tours with David - first day... read moreHad two days of tours with David - first day being the Grand Circle Island Tour and then the second day full of hikes and some beach at the end of the day.

Let me begin by saying that David is one of the most professional, reliable and engaging guides I have had in all my world travels (60 countries). At all times he was able to provide detailed information and history behind what we are seeing, doing, etc... Not just pointing, stopping to take a picture and moving on. I would not even consider other tour guides out there when booking tours given you will miss so much by having an 8 hour tour vs. an 11 or 12 hour tour (and remember, if it's private you can always cut it down to 10 at the end of the day).

Regarding hiking/nature - David is also your go to guide here. Case in point - in the bird trail in the Main Ridge Forest Reserve, we went further than any of the dozen other guides on the tour. The majority of them stop at only the first two waterfalls. We hiked on-wards another 15-20 minutes and found an incredible third waterfall where it was clear it is rarely seen by tourists given the growth along the trail (minor growth but noticeable that there is less foot traffic).

Outside of the above, David is excellent with knowing great spots for doubles, roti, fresh seafood (eastern side of the island), logistics - airport/hotel pickups/dropoffs, etc.. He does it all.

***AND BEST OF ALL - IF HE SAYS HE WILL SHOW UP AT 8:00A.M., HE IS READY AND WAITING AT 08:00A.M. - NOT THE LOCAL'S TIME OF 9 OR 9:30*** read less

My friends and I booked the Caribbean coast tour to do some snorkelling and it was just amazing. We didn't have a car and David also organised a pick up and drop off for us that which was very impressive because he didn't have to do that for us. We were taken to 3 different spots by captain Jason, who was very informative about the history of the island and the history of the different sites. At no point did we feel rushed while we were swimming and watching the marine life. After the snorkelling we were taken dolphin watching and then to No Man's Land for lunch. I will totally book with this tour operator again because, although I didn't get to personally meet David, I was very pleased by his professionalism and also his accommodating nature. If you're looking for a tour operator to do something fun in Tobago, look no further than islandgirl tours! It's great! read less

My travelling companion and I did everything from swimming in the Nylon Pool to hiking the Main Ridge Forest Reserve and climbing up Argyle Falls (barefoot!) David was an excellent guide who navigated the roads smoothly and safely (important for a passenger prone to car sickness on windy island roads) and showed us some great hidden gems. I am Celiac with several other significant dietary restrictions and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to David for going above and beyond to arrange safe (and tasty) lunches for me. The communication from the moment I contacted Island Girl Tours was top notch and I loved seeing daily Instagram Stories of our adventures. Bonus for Canadians: David is able to accept payment in CAD by etransfer - contact Island Girl Tours for details. read less

David was amazing at communicating before we arrived (including changing dates due to the British Airways strike!), and was only too pleased to customise our day for the experience we wanted. Other tour operators were either going to lump us in with another group, or seemed to be just copying and pasting information. With David this was very much OUR tour, and nothing felt rushed or like it was too much trouble. I’m an introvert, so it was great feeling relaxed enough to have honest conversations with him about the island and the people. My recommendation is go early during your trip so you can make notes for local places to visit later on, and not to be shy about asking for anything you want to include. read less

David’s love and knowledge and passion for Tobago is second to none, as well as his customer service, and his tours are a beautiful reflection of this.

The Grand Circle Island Tour was the best day out I ever spent in a car. I saw almost everything Tobago has to offer and we had such an amazing time. David is personable, intelligent and very funny. I highly recommend him and Island Girl Tours for ANYTHING Tobago. You won’t be disappointed. read less

We were taken to the most beautiful secluded coves for snorkelling with beautiful calm and clear water to see the coral.
As usual David was very knowledgable about the history of the different coves and the magnificent houses dotted on the hillside.
Lunch was delicious in the ‘secret location’ and the ride back on the speedboat followed by the dolphins was epic/exhilarating/awesome.
Thank you David & Ronaldo read less

Perfect family adventure!! If I was to say David was a great host... read moreIf I was to say David was a great host I would be putting him down. He was great from the moment of booking, making sure we had anything we would need for the day, customised the tour so our toddler could come along but still have us a real adventure. He really went the extra mile at every opportunity.

Took us for doubles first thing (which are delicious!!) and had a story for every road, why things were the way they were on the island. The tour consists of little hikes and waterfalls that are safe wet exciting, our daughter managed to walk all day across the rocks and David helped us climb the rock faces and steep tracks with her. We could have gone higher through the levels if we were without her but I was still able to dive off the waterfalls and get what felt like a full experience.

If you're into food, he'll also take you around plantations and take you to pick local fruits off tree to taste. Had some delicious guavas, giant star fruit, coconuts, almonds straight off trees and also took us to two amazing authentic local restaurants through the day. Taught us about bread fruit and took us to get bread fruit pie which is phenomenal!!

When the day went on, he knew we weren't to be available for Sunday school so found us a bar / restaurant to see a steelband play along with a beachside bbq, this wasn't an added extra. He did this out of his own time and even drove us all home late so we didn't have to get a taxi - yet again going above and beyond for us.

The next day he took us to pigeon point with some amazing white sand beach and guided us on the nylon pools tour. Got us a discount on jet skis and looked after our daughter on the boat so me and my wife could go out and jetski without any worry. Jemima (my daughter) absolutely loved him and I couldn't have felt happier to leave her with him.

Also a huge highlight as my wife broke her phone while on holiday, David takes photos of everything and send you all of them at the end of the day. Which means you get to get on with the day and not have to worry about stopping all the time to take pictures!!

When we come back to tobago in a year or so we'll definitely give him a call. Whether that is for a tour or just to meet for a catch up over a meal. David really made us all feel like we became friends by the end of the day. read less

The challenge on this trip was that all of us had been to Tobago before, and we had each done some of the typical tourist sites/stops already. Some of us already loved the island, and others were more skeptical because of previous bad experiences. David worked with us to build an itinerary that would convince even the biggest skeptic that Tobago is the best-kept secret in the Caribbean. We spent the day exploring, learning, and laughing. Whether it's your first trip or your fifth, you can't go wrong with David and Island Girl Tours! read less

Paradise Found My wife and I travelled to Tobago in March 2019... read moreMy wife and I travelled to Tobago in March 2019 and are forever thankful for meeting David with Island Girl Tours.

He picked us up at 8am at the Starfish Tobago hotel on Turtle Beach. Our first destination was Fort King George so we headed across the island to this historic site. If you are a historian, Tobago and all it’s forts are a must see.

From there, we headed north towards Fort Granby and our next destination, Argyle Falls. We were in awe on how around every turn, the views and vistas were so beautiful. Tobago is much more mountainous than we had expected and we loved every moment and the stories David told us as we toured.

We spent about 45 minutes at Argyle Falls and although we didn’t brave swimming in the lower pools, we did enjoy watching others climb up and jump in. I will admit flip flops are not a good idea as the rocks can be slippery so running or water shoes are recommended. David had mentioned this prior to and was totally good with us packing a day bag and leaving it locked in his SUV.

From there, we headed inland to the Main Ridge Reserve and were able to see some beautiful birds and wildlife. It was from the Bloody Bay Recreation Site that the view was truly magical - we couldn’t tell where the ocean ended or the sky began.

From there, we headed to Speyside which was originally a sugar estate. It was here we stopped and had lunch and a cold beer at a local establishment. It was clean and the food was tasty.

Our next stop was Flag Staff Hill which overlooks Charlotteville - this is where the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meet. There wasn’t much to Flag Staff other than a stunning view and if you needed a place to stretch your legs, you could do it while taking it all in.

Next stop was Fort Campbelton - another amazing panoramic view - all the while, David offered a history lesson of all these places.

From there, we stopped for a cold beer at Paradise Point in Parlatuvier, met some kind locals and had some laughs. At this point, we were on the Atlantic side of the island and can honestly say, we had fallen in love.

By now, it was about 2PM and it was getting hot so our next stop was Englishman’s Bay for a swim! It was a quiet beach with smooth stones underfoot, crystal clear water and the perfect place for a dip. We did see people snorkelling here and would go back another time with our gear.

From there, we stopped at The Castara Retreat for a cappuccino and met the owner. We saw wild parrots in the trees, stingrays in the bay below and took in some calypso music.

Somewhere between Castara Bay and our hotel, David pulled over on the side of the road and we had doubles - a local lunch - made with chic peas and flat bread. It was delicious and we had officially caught our Island Girl vibe!

David is kind, knowledgeable and we always felt safe on his tour. He was always quick to answer questions on Whats App and helped us plan other days during our vacation.

He is LGBT friendly, knows Tobago like the back of his hand and certainly was a huge part in making our first trip to Tobago, unforgettable.

Thank you David @ Island Girl Tours, Tobago. read less
