Bioluminescence
Bon Accord
In the Bon Accord Lagoon, the
water lights up with blue-green
light under the right conditions
(around the new moon). It’s
caused by millions of phytoplankton,
which emit flashes of light to
startle predators. Radical Sports:

Buccoo Reef & the Nylon Pool
Crown Point
The Buccoo Reef/Bon Accord Lagoon
Complex is the island’s first Ramsar
Site, recognised as a wetland of
international importance. Plans
were announced in 2015 for
an underwater sculpture park.
Though one of the island’s most
popular tours and the largest of
the island’s reefs, it is not in peak
condition. The smaller Angel Reef,
near Speyside, is perhaps the best
reef in Tobago. Glass-bottom boat
tours depart Pigeon Point and
Store Bay for Buccoo Reef and also
head to the Nylon Pool. A stop at
this warm, metre-deep sandbar is
often paired with a trip to Buccoo
Reef and No Man’s Land. Its name
is said to have come from Princess
Margaret, who claimed the water
was as clear as her nylon stockings.

Horse riding
Buccoo
If you love animals, the sea, and
have a soft spot for rescued horses
with moving back-stories, then
you’ll want to check out Being With
Horses. They offer sunset swimride
sessions, trail rides, picnic
rides, and horseback weddings.
The team also operates Healing
with Horses, which offers therapeutic
riding to differently-abled
children. Book early, as they’re
often full up!
