TIDETours, a subsidiary of TIDE, was established in 1999 to promote ecotourism in the Toledo District. Its primary objectives are to provide an alternative and sustainable means of livelihood for area residents, to help reduce poverty in the Toledo District by introducing more profitable economic opportunities, and to generate funding for TIDE's conservation work.

TIDETours takes the lead in providing training to local residents to enable their participation in the ecotourism industry. One of its most successful programs has been tour guide training and certification courses. As the result of this project, TIDETours has assisted a number of former fishermen to move into more sustainable and more economically profitable work as tour guides. TIDETours has also conducted microenterprise training and other workshops to assist community members in acquiring the necessary skills to join the tourism industry. It continues to seek support for additional training and development programs for the community.

TIDE Tours also serves as an in-bound tour operator service, providing package tours of the Toledo District. It contracts with individual tour guides and small-scale tourism businesses to provide the necessary services, carefully ensuring that it works with as many individuals as possible on a rotating and equal basis. It owns kayaks, snorkeling gear,s and other sports equipment that it provides to local tour guides to assist in operating their tours. As part of its work, TIDETours also undertakes marketing efforts to promote the Toledo District, actively working to expand the tourism industry in the area.
