We 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.

Nicely 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!

Very 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.

We 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.

Perfect short tour to experience the mangroves! Our guide was knowledgeable and funny, explaining everything about the roots, birds, and marine life. The water was calm and crystal clear, and the kayaks were super easy to paddle. Great for families or anyone who wants a relaxed adventure in nature.

Very excited about this tour, enjoyed an hour in the mangrove. Got an explanation in advance about the usefulness of the mangrove, very interesting. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are on Bonaire. It is not for nothing that is in the top 10 activities worthwhile on the island.
