5.00WOW! It was a treat to explore this rich and important ecosystem during the short time we had in Bonaire. Our tour was full (with both families and couples), but the group size felt perfect. Our guide Trevor was fun, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. It's obvious that he is fascinated by the significance of the mangroves and loves to share that interest with others. He kept us safe and comfortable while ensuring that everyone appreciated and respected the environment throughout the experience. We were blown away by how many different species we saw, particularly while snorkeling. We are SO glad that we ventured beyond the usual beaches and cruise tours for this adventure!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our kayak experience. Staff were well informed, friendly and took care to be aware of where all the kayakers were during the different stages of the tour. The two person kayaks were in great condition. The only thing that was not communicated well is that it would be a regular taxi picking us up at the port, not a specific mangrove centre vehicle. It was also unclear exactly where to be. If you are picking the transportation option to and from the centre, be sure you understand where, when and who will be picking you up. I do take responsibility for not getting more specific information before hand, and the centre was kind enough to send one of their employees to get us from the pier when we couldn’t find the taxi. As a result we didn’t miss the tour and were able to enjoy our time! Make sure you have reef friendly sunscreen as that sun can be really hot.
Beautiful and interesting mangrove tour

5.00This tour provides a 2 person kayak for a couple or single person kayak for a solo participant. Our friendly and knowledgeable guide took us through the mangroves and across some small beautiful bays. We stopped in the one area in the protected mangroves where people are allowed to snorkel. While the tour overall was great, the snorkeling was just OK. The water was murky, likely due to other kayakers/snorkelers stirring up the sandy bottom. We did see fish, oysters and jellyfish. We would definitely do this again on a future visit to Bonaire but might do just the kayaking without the snorkeling.
Great Time!

5.00Despite the fact that we couple 60y) had never been in a canoe, or snorkeled, this was an experience! Sorry if we held up the rest of the group;-)

5.00This is well worth your money. The tour leader gave us a great overview of the life cycle of the Mangrove tree and why it's so important for the creatures who live there. He also took us on some amazing routes through the Mangrove forest. If you want a tour that provides education, exercise, and an unique Bonaire experience, this is the one tour to take.
Recommended!

Visiting Mangrove Center is a must

5.00It was a fantastic experience to kayak and snorkel in this part of Bonaire 🤿. When you're on Bonaire? DO! If you can also sponsor the Center with this, it is worth it! Unfortunately, the snorkeling was a bit cloudy due to the strong wind from the sea. But luckily the nurseries of the friendly harmless jellyfish🪼🪼gespot.
