Tours to do with a young family

We are going to be in Tobago at the end of the month, and there will be 2 couples and one 3 year old. We would really like to have a tour of the island (or probably more realistically 2 half day tours) but are aware that having a 3 year old restricts what you can do, as lots of walking is not feasible.
We would be grateful of any suggestions that people may have of tours we could do where we would see much of the island but where it is still interesting for little people.
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
We went on a tour with Harris McDonald with our 2 young children and he arranged a lovely tour of the island for us which involved very little walking and when my youngest did moan, Harris carried her!
I highly recommend him.

my wife and i did an island tour with Patrick Dankou of Yes Tourism, nothing was too much trouble for him, he stopped at all the touristy places, he would have stopped anywhere we asked, it was a long day approx 10 hours ! travelling around the island, i'm sure you wouldnt be disappointed, look him up when you get there, he would be only too pleased to help.

Hello,
My wife and I also did tours with Patrick Dankou at Yes Tourism. We did the Island Tour on the second day after our arrival. I would agree that nothing was to much trouble for Patrick and he stopped wherever we wished. He was very helpful in providing information on where to go and what to do on our own during our stay. There are a variety of tours to choose from as we also did a Rainforest Tour and enjoyed that as well. Good luck and have fun!

with who ever you want to travel arround the island, think about a seat for the kid before you come. if you want to rent a cer, too. some rentals have seats, others not. I have friend who always bring the own seat. maybe you get in touch with everyone before to figure that out.
no reason to forget about safety, only because you are on holiday. sad enough many people do and have there infants standing on their lap in the open jeep....
hope you have a great (and safe) holiday!

Steph/Ali,
Thanks for that, I'll remember to ask when I phone around about tours. Do you have child seats in for your tours?

unfortunately not. did not see any here and had no chance to bring it from germany yet. the flight companies are not too nice if you want to travel with it and have no infant...
keep working on it...
