As part of the package, we are due to have a trip to the Rainforest with a guide called Newton George but Ian's neck had had enough of staring upwards and as the pool is so lovely and the sea inviting we opted to miss that and stay around the hotel. So that just left the trip to Little Tobago a wildlife sanctuary a few miles offshore. There we were supposed to see many birds and also have the opportunity to snorkel. We specified we'd like to go on the Sunday and Newton told us the boatman would make contact, however on Saturday morning we noticed a chap wearing a Top Rankin T-Shirt (the boat company) touting for custom and we explained we were already booked for the Sunday. However he convinced us the weather would be better today so we agreed to go in half an hour.
There were just 4 of us on the boat and the "glass bottom" was in fact just a viewing hole. We walked to the top of the island and saw a couple of frigate birds in the distance. The young lad leading us knew very little and the whole trip was rather disappointing. The snorkelling was just off the landing stage as apparently the Angel Reef was no longer worth looking at. This site was also very poor and we only saw a dozen or so fish
All in all we were rather fed up and inadvertently kicked off WW3 when we responded "underwhelmed" to another boatman asking how our trip had been. Apparently it was our fault for going out with this particular guide and not the main man (who we'd spoken to and offered our trip voucher before we went out!) We were offered another trip free of charge but declined.
So we spent our remaining time just lounging around. The little pool was lovely and the sea gorgeous; we were swimming before breakfast. A few pics

This house was allegedly once owned by Ian Fleming (not true)
All in all we had a wonderful holiday, Asa Wright was an amazing place and we enjoyed Blue Waters for just relaxing. But we think we are probably not birders in the true sense.
