Clear Bottom Kayak Tour

5.00We signed up for the kayak tour with pick up. Youri our guide communicated the pickup details ahead of time and arrived on time at the designated location. He spoke English well and had a humorous personality. He took us through different parts of the mangrove forest and gave us insight into the habitat. At the end we were able to snorkel through a mangrove tunnel with schools of fish. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Equipment including snorkels and dry bags were provided. It was topped off with a refreshing serving of juice and struppelwaffle! We went at a very leisurely pace so it’s a doable experience for almost anyone. I would highly recommend booking it. Hopefully you get Youri. He’s a character.
Great Experience

5.00We loved this experience! Our guide was friendly and informative throughout. Parts of the water were a bit challenging, and getting in and out of the kayak to snorkel wasn’t easy, but the mangroves were incredibly peaceful and calm—well worth it. We were visiting on a cruise, and it was very convenient to walk to the pick-up location. We also had plenty of time to return to the ship afterward. Highly recommend!
Helpful knowledge!

5.00Great experience kayaking the narrow canals through the mangrove forest on Bonaire. Its a good workout but definitely worth it. Especially observing the schools of fish hiding under the roots from only a foot away is amazing. So different from snorkeling on the regular beaches of Bonaire. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. She was able to answer any question and provided us with all kinds of interesting facts about the mangroves and the wildlife living there.
Loved it!

5.00Be prepared for wet weather. It’s not only possible but likely. Our tour guide was wonderful! He saw sloths in a tree on a highway and had the bus driver pull over safely and let us out of the bus to take photos and videos! He carried a laser pointer which was very helpful when he wanted us to look in a certain area and he was very focused on us seeing as much as possible!
