Paddling into the Mangroves

5.00The overall experience was very good. Our guide was very knowledgable and I'm certain everyone felt the same. Very nice paddle through the mangroves and out into the open turquoise sea. Perfect. Unfortunately cannot remember our guides' name. She was great!!
A definite DON'T MISS in Bonaire

5.00The mangrove kayaking tour was fantastic and a "don't miss"! The mangroves are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, the water crystal clear and the guide was excellent. On the day we kayaked it was windy and that only enhanced the experience. We got a fantastic workout (we are grandparents and not spring chickens!) and loved every magical moment!

5.00Great tour. Very educational, we learned about how the mangroves play such a vital part of their eco system
Nice active trip on Bonaire, with some cooling off along the way.

5.00Active kayaking in the mangrove forests, at Lac Bay. Good test for couples;) Along the way you have to pay attention if you want to see fish, mussels etc. You can also spot birds occasionally, but often flew away quickly. All this was well explained by guide, before the trip and during. Kayaking itself was very nice towards the sea, you are then taken along on the waves. We didn't really need mosquito gear. Sunburn and hat do, you get a little wet too.
A Beautiful and Informative Tour of the Mangroves

5.00We took the kayak tour on the morning of March 3. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Mangrove Center. Trevor was our guide and he was so informative. He was truly a very knowledgeable guide and took us on a very interesting and beautiful tour through the mangroves. We wished it could have been longer. We plan to come back to Bonaire and will definitely plan another visit to the Mangrove Center.
A real must do.

5.00Nicely received and nice explanation. Very nice tour where you sail through the mangrove. Recommended to do. On the bumpy road to it you can admire the flamingos as a taster. Overall a very nice experience!

5.00Very nice experience. Too bad the instructor explained in English when we had asked for a Dutch guide. We were nb with a group of 12 Dutch and 2 Germans. Beautiful surroundings and everything else well arranged.
10/10, Eric is a knowledge castle

5.00We would recommend this tour 1000%! After a short bumpy dirt road we arrived with our friends group at the mangrove center where we were greeted enthusiastically by Eric. Soon he let us know he had the most fun job in the world and it turned out. When the group was complete, he talked passionately about the importance of the mangrove and all the animals and plants that live between it. Eric turned out to be a real knowledge castle because once in the kayak the facts kept coming and he had answers to all our questions. After the jokes and facts of Eric and the enchanting green mangrove surrounded by clear blue water, our day could not be better and we can look back on a fantastic day.
Wonderful
