Working with the owner, David, made the entire process very easy. He's very communicative, helpful and most definitely committed to ensuring our day was fun! David picked us up in Castara and was right on time. Our discussion on our drive was very pleasant and we learned a lot about the history of Tobago.
The glass bottom boat left from beautiful Pigeon Point. The snorkeling at Buccoo Reef was excellent and wallowing in the waters of Nylon Pool is a lot of fun. If you're thinking of doing something like this, it's definitely worth it. read less

You have endless knowledge of the island and a great love and passion for nature. My wife and I spent a whole day with you and enjoyed every moment, from the secluded beaches you took us to, the waterfalls, mangroves to the majestic forest. We couldn't have expected more. You tailored the tour according to our wishes and needs. I would recommend anyone thinking of doing the island tour to contact you directly. Thank you again for a great day. read less

I wanted to explore and that is exactly what I got to do. I was referred to do a tour with David and man was it fun! He took to to all of the Forts, numerous beaches and so much more, I never knew To ago was so beautiful. David has an amazing personality and definitely the man of the Island to get the job done, he is super friendly and made the day very enjoyable. I will be going back soon with my family to take them on the Tour as well. I recommend him for sure! read less

Perfect Island Tour I booked this tour on-line from the UK. David contacted... read moreI booked this tour on-line from the UK. David contacted me shortly after to give me an overview of the tour and to ask if I had any particular interests. This initial contact made a favourable impression on me. He asked me to contact him when I arrived in Tobago.

Unfortunately, the tour had to be postponed due to the after effects of Storm Karen but David kept in regular touch by WhatsApp and phone to give me updates and to reschedule the tour date.

On the day of the tour David arrived punctually at 06:45 hrs and then took me on a tour that lasted nearly 12 hours. He gave me an initial overview of what we would be doing but as I had already see some of the scheduled sights David made some suggestions of other places that I might like to visit and amended the tour accordingly.

The hours flew by so quickly as we toured the islands. There are just so many magnificent beaches, viewpoints, buildings to see. I can see why people keep going back to Tobago. David seems to know someone in each village!! It was a great experience to have my own personal tour guide. If I wanted to stay longer or stop at any site it was not a problem. David's time scheduling is impeccable. At many of the places we were the only people there - it is so refreshing to go to a beach where there are only a couple of other people or to be able to go somewhere like Argyle Falls and to be be able to enjoy the view with just the sound of the waterfall and not have to share it with crowds of others.

David is very knowledgeable about the history, nature, history and culture of Tobago. He is so enthusiastic and is keen to show Tobago to others. He is funny, polite, flexible, professional and easy to talk to. As a mature female traveller, I felt very safe and comfortable in his company, it was like visiting with a good friend. I would have no hesitation in recommending his company to any solo female travellers.

I also went with David to Nylon Pool and once again I would highly recommend that you make the trip with him.

I had a fantastic time on both trips, David took some great photos and I will have lasting memories of my time in Tobago. David is the perfect tour guide and I would recommend that you sign up for his tours as soon as possible. Don’t think about it, just do it!! read less

David was a charismatic guide giving just the right amount of info for us and we felt we got a very good overview of the whole island. The highlights were an early morning visit to and swim in the Argyle Falls which we had to ourselves and the board walk through the mangrove glades at the south of the island. Excellent street food both snacks and lunch. Saw some lovely hidden bays and thoroughly enjoyed in car conversations on a variety of topics. David is THEman and made the day a marvellous experience read less

Simply brilliant My husband and I booked an island tour with David... read moreMy husband and I booked an island tour with David (the owner) through reading the reviews on trip advisor.
We booked the tour before leaving the UK and all communication with David before and after arriving was excellent.
This tour is like no other tour. There are no time constraints or specific schedule as such to the day, it just flows.
You see the best that the island has to offer and this is down to David. He is so enthusiastic about the Island and it shows. He has great knowledge of the island and about so many other things. He is a great communicator and good company very friendly and approachable. It was more like meeting up with a friend for the day than going out on a tour. I am so very glad that we found Island Girl Tours as the whole day was amazing. We swam in fantastic secluded beaches, visited mangroves with not a soul in site, ate 'doubles', saw such beautiful scenery and wildlife and just generally had the most brilliant day.
Thank you David! 🙂 read less

Second Tour was as Excellent as the FIrst! We loved the Grand Island Tour when we visited Tobago... read moreWe loved the Grand Island Tour when we visited Tobago in 2019 with our son, so we decided to do it again this year with our daughter. David worked with us to set up an itinerary that contained our favorite spots from last year, along with some cool new locations that he had discovered. We even made some adjustments to ensure that we could practice social distancing since we happened to be on the island during the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. David's storytelling kept us entertained all day, he made sure we were always comfortable, and we learned a ton of new facts about the history, flora, and fauna of Tobago. I cannot recommend a tour more highly than this one, you will not be disappointed with this as an authentic and unique Tobago experience! read less

5 Star Experience My girlfriend and I did the Grand Circle Island Tour.

David,... read moreMy girlfriend and I did the Grand Circle Island Tour.

David, the hardest worker in Tobago, was the best guide possible. Even before we arrived in Tobago, David was very accessible via WhatsApp. This continued throughout our entire stay in TT and to this day. David has high standards for his employees and his business, which results in a great experience.

We filled our 12 hour day with eating, hikes, snorkeling, and site seeing. David is a born tour guide with a lot of passion. We had a blast and the day flew by. We did the tour early on in our stay in TT and used it to plan our adventures for the rest of our trip. I was writing notes as David thoroughly explained the island. It worked out great. If we didn’t learn it that day, we would just ask him on WhatsApp. He picked most of the restaurants we visited and we never had a bad meal.

I highly recommend checking out Tobago. It’s a great trip with great locals. David is a genuine guy and I suggest you and your family spend a day with him! read less

David and Kristen are wonderful people who took care of us from first thing in the morning until drop off at dusk. They make sure the tour is tailored to what you want to see and do whilst making sure you're well fed and topped up with drink ☺️

Having grown up on the island David is very informative about the local area, we went to bays and waterfalls that I'm sure we would have missed otherwise

It really was an unforgettable day that I'll cherish for years to come. Thankyou Island girl tours, hopefully we'll be back one day! read less

Our first tour was of the Cocoa Estates coca farm where we enjoyed a guided tour through the grounds this trip also included a small waterfall and tour of the fort in Scarborough. Our second trip out with David was to Bucoo reef/Nylon pool/ No mans land aboard Captain Romeos Sugar Lips boat - included great snorkelling and swimming. Our last adventure with David was booked was the 8-9hr tour. David took us to many spots on the island including both famous tourist stops and also spots off the route of most tours. I would highly recommend touring with David and booking ahead before leaving Canada was easy - David was always early for hotel pick up and very accomodating - as well as enthusiastic, fun and an excellent guide. 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

We were running a little late in the morning and missed our resort’s breakfast time; David took us to get doubles right away (first time having one and it won’t be the last). David personalized our experience; from the pickup time, to food options, to the route we would eventually embark on; everything was organized and there were no hiccups.

We truly were able to see everything that the tour promised and more! We were able to see such amazing scenery and breathtaking views; Some spots that not many other guides take you to or even know about; If you pick any other tour over this you’re truly missing out on a memorable experience.

In the near future if we return to Tobago; We definitely will be contacting him to book other tours read less

David is one of the most quality, down to earth, funniest men I have ever met. His knowledge is incredible.

Kristen: An incredibly laid back, funny, intelligent and cool woman.

Together, they are what batman is to Robin. Our day was incredible, our jokes will last a lifetime and I hope our friendship will as well.

You will see everything you could ever wish to see and be looked after in a way you could not even imagine.

You will not be disappointed.

Go with the flow, laugh, swim, smile and just enjoy yourself.

We're here for a good time, not a long time. read less

An amazing informative Tour of Tobago We had such a great time on The Grand Circle... read moreWe had such a great time on The Grand Circle Island tour with David and can now fully understand why he has so many 5 star reviews.
We chose this tour company because it said it tailors the day to what you enjoy doing and that is exactly what David does, we said that we like exploring and seeing the culture and that's what we did.
From the day we booked this tour David kept in touch discussing what we would like to do and on the day we were picked up at 7am and he took us for doubles for breakfast first which were delicious, then to the Mangroves, waterfalls, and lots of other places all the way round the Island, some of them were where other tourist companies don't go, we stopped and had coconuts, the lunch we had was amazing and all the time you could tell how much he genuinely wanted to please, we were never rushed from place to place like we have previously experienced with other tours.

We couldn't believe it when he said at one point we had been out 9 hours, (time flies when you are enjoying yourself) and that's what we did for the 12 hours we were on this tour, he took some lovely photos of us at different places and sent them to us so we now have these to remind us of our amazing tour of Tobago.
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tobago.

Thank you David read less

I’m SO glad I chose island girl tours - David was very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure I had the best experience possible. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Tobago and will be back again!

Also as a solo female traveller David made me feel very safe and looked after.

Thank you David, and I will be back again! read less

We were picked up from our hotel and first stop was cocktails at Castara Retreats,which has an amazing location above the bay and built around nature as a massive tree house. We watched the spectacular sunset and then drove down to the Bay for dinner at the beach front resturant, Cascreol. The food was amazing, we had baked fish in coconut sauce. After dinner came the Steel drums, who were fantastic. David arranged for my wife to light the first bonfire of the night. He has all the contacts. We could have stayed all night dancing to the DJ but left around 11pm as we had an early flight next day. Again David was most obliging to our needs and drove us back to our hotel. This is the only night tour you will find and we were fortunate to have met David to arrange everything safely.
Would recommend Island girl to anyone visiting Tobago. read less

But this time with my mom I felt the need to let me drive a whole day by a local person able to reveal me every secret of this wonderful island. Thanks to David in 10h together, I had the chance to taste fruit never tasted before, visit the forts of Tobago to fantasize about their history, meet local people, spot birds of many colors, stingrays as big as me, hidden beaches, relaxing waterfalls and breathtaking flowers. David knows everything about the island and I couldn't resist asking him a million questions to which there was always an answer! I was lucky enough to travel a lot in my life but Tobago has bewitched me: its veracity and its authenticity embrace you like never before! Dear American and Canadian friends, don’t lock yourself in an all-inclusive resort: open your mind, grab a backpack and let yourself be carried away by the scents and colors of Tobago ... you will return home with a wealth of experiences that you will carry with you for life! 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

A Tour with a Mission: To Instill a Sense of Passion for Tobago and Its People We did the Grande Circle Island Tour, and I'm convinced... read moreWe did the Grande Circle Island Tour, and I'm convinced this was the most efficient way to have spent our far-too-short-a-time in Tobago. David is more than a tour guide, but a true ambassador of Tobago. With Island Girls, your guide has a deep love for his country, and his mission is to share this passion. Having lived overseas for a significant period of time (Canada), David not only understands the land from which you come, but also anticipates the questions you may have, the beauty you’ll be astounded by, and the experiences that alter the way you see the world. We learned more about Trinidad & Tobago in the first 30 minutes of the tour than in all our pre-trip preparation. He is extremely well-connected with local business owners, so it felt as if we got VIP treatment at every stop. I also appreciate the many accommodations and adjustments David made to the tour to accommodate my wife’s broken leg! David personally made our vacation much more meaningful than it would have been had we not taken this tour. Relax and enjoy the ride. read less

Next level customer service From start to finish David went over and above. I... read moreFrom start to finish David went over and above. I initially reached out on their website as the calendar online showed full and I was only in Tobago with my son for a few days. Within minutes David had made contact directly asking me what kind of excursion I was looking for, giving ideas and trying his best to make sure we would have a great time. That in itself earned the 5 stars! The hotel was useless in terms of information, but David was a fountain and really worked hard to create options for us. He arranged for us to do a Nylon Pool trip on one day, which was great fun.

In the end we booked an island tour. The day started amazingly and David was a font of knowledge about the island, the flora and fauna, the history - everything! Sadly the heavens opened and the mists rolled in and the tour quickly became a Bank Holiday trip being stuck in the car. David did the rarest of things! He stopped on the road and offered to call it a day and refund the money! As a charity worker who has limited funds, and only having a short time on the island, I was so grateful as we were able to use the money on our final day to splash out on a nice dinner before leaving.

David was the consummate professional and representation of Tobago. Definitely recommend him and will certainly contact him again if Im able to get us to Tobago again in the future. 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
