We ended the night at Castara Bay. His expert knowledge of the island was refreshing and his welcoming and friendly nature made the tour highly memorable and enjoyable.
My mother and I felt very safe and we had the best night listening to pan, dancing with a moko jumbie, lighting a bonfire and eating the local delights such as fishbroth and doubles.
I will definitely be recommending his tours to all my friends in the UK and Europe and I can’t wait to come back and do another tour. 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

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

From the moment we reached out about scheduling a tour, David made every effort to get to know our group and our interests so he could personalize the activities and sights on our itinerary. On the day of our actual tour, we had horrible weather, but David still managed to get us out on a boat and make everything happen for us. It was an adventure and a day we won’t soon forget! We can’t wait to come back to Tobago and book another tour! read less

Discovering New Gems on a 7th Tip to Tobago I’ve been to Tobago about 6 times now, so I... read moreI’ve been to Tobago about 6 times now, so I wasn’t really expecting to find anything completely new or unexpected on my 7th visit.. but, WOW was I wrong! 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

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

Our Epic Tobago Adventure with Island Girl Tours . I can write a mini novel on all the feelings... read moreI can write a mini novel on all the feelings and accolades we as a family of three ( including our 14 year old son) have for our guide David of Island Girl Tours. In fact we won’t call David our guide but our new life long friend. I am originally from Trinidad, residing in New York City for over 20 years now. It’s a joy to be able to bring my husband Joe and son Jaden to explore my country as much as we can.

This New Years we booked 5 days in magical Tobago. After reading amazing reviews on Tripadvisor and having an I risk what’s app conversation with David. I knew my family , myself and dear friends we brought with us on holiday will be in great hands. So we booked his The Grand Circle Island Tour (12 hour ALL INCLUSIVE).

David took us on off beaten roads through the north coast that lead us to gorgeous black sand beaches, quaint fishing villages, stunning waterfalls. We followed his advice and did not eat at Gemmas, a popular location for tourist but at small restaurant ran by a beautiful lady overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Her cooking was authentic and views beautiful.

Lots of swimming , exploring and historical facts about Tobago. David, truly is passionate about his company and curating intimate itineraries for his guests.

I prefer to show you more of my Tobago adventure with David and Island Girl Tours through my pictures than worlds . So here goes ... read less

Outstanding Tour of Tobago My family started off our week in Tobago with the... read moreMy family started off our week in Tobago with the Grand Circle Island Tour with David from Island Girl Tours, and it was an amazing way to start our vacation. David customized the tour based on each family member's interests, and he took us on a fantastic drive to many different sites around the island. We visited historic areas, tucked-away beaches, hiking spots, excellent restaurants for lunch and refreshment breaks, and hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. The best part is that David seemingly knows everyone on the island, so we would stop and chat with the locals, and this really gave us a flavor for the island. This tour was the ideal way for us to get a feel for the island and learn where we wanted to spend extra time during the rest of the week. Highly recommended!!! read less

I guess this is the laid back island life! David picked us up and we were having fun well before we arrived at Argyle Falls. The weather was great. The drive was calm. The views were tropical paradise. And then we arrived and started a gentle 15 minute walk to the falls. I'm not sure who David bribed, but the path was littered with tropical birds. The motmots and cocrico showed no fear of us! At one point, the bamboo arched above like the ceiling of a cathedral. And David was a wealth of knowledge about the flora and fauna. It turns out the Argyle Falls is more than the 3 pools it presents itself to be. I will be back! And definitely will try to get David again 😀 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

We were a group of four, and had our hearts set on a boat tour despite what turned out to be less than ideal tides and weather. David made it happen for us, and we had a blast swimming in the rain, eating delicious food on a nearly underwater No Man's Land, singing, laughing, learning about Tobago's history and wildlife, and generally having an incredible day all together. He felt like one of the group from the beginning! We had planned to do the bioluminescence tour that evening but given the high tides, David helped us figure out another plan - dinner at a lovely restaurant where we watched it rain and saw gorgeous lightning over the water. David was responsive, flexible, responsible, and fun - everything you could ask for in a guide. Can't wait to get back to Tobago and take another of his fantastic tours - thank you David! read less

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

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

He allows you to pick and chose what you would like to do during the 12 hrs. We toured and swam in several beaches and saw some waterfalls, did snorkeling, and toured several forts and had lunch beach side... not in that order but we covered so much during the tour. David was very accommodating and very personable. I thought i would fall asleep given the nonstop activities we had done prior to the tour but ended up not missing anything. Because we spent a lot of time driving David was very entertaining and knowledgeable of all things Trinidad and Tobago. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely do it again. This was a wonderful tour for those looking for some site seeing and adventure after partying it up n Trinidad. read less

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

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

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

Simply the BEST I met an old friend from my school days in... read moreI met an old friend from my school days in Tobago and we decided to do an island tour. We landed on Island Girl Tours and The Grand Circle Island Tour. What a stroke of luck!!! David is the ultimate tour guide . He loves his job and his island and this energy just flows wherever he is. We did everything! Swimming, snorkeling, hiking, sightseeing, bird watching and more. We had an incredible lunch and some fantastic conversations. He is very intelligent, and was polite and a gentleman the whole way through! (Which is not always a common thing for women travelling by themselves, let me tell you , I've had some experiences on other islands) Anyway, David is awesome ,IGT is awesome and The Grand Circle Island Tour is awesome and not to be missed! I will say this to potential visitors to Tobago , NO ONE is doing anything near a tour like this in Tobago. I mean 12-13 hours???
The proof is in the pudding . Book this young man. You won't be disappointed. 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
