Our mangrove glass bottom kayak & snorkel tour begins at the lovely beach from Lac Cai. The Bonaire Mangrove reserve is located in Lac Bay National Park. Visitors can only enter the mangroves in the company of an experienced nature guide. Your stable, glass bottom sit-on-top kayak is equipped with a comfortable backrest seat, a waterproof bag for your personal belongings and, of course, paddles. Off you go, into the calm waters.

The glass bottom kayak provides an ideal mode of transport in this beautiful and tranquil environment, as you manoeuvre with ease through the mangrove shallows and tunnels.

Gliding by four different species of mangrove trees in crystal-clear waters, paddling past bird habitats and fish spawning areas, you'll learn of the relationship between the plants and the animals. The snorkel location offers a great variety of marine life and is considered by many a must-do while visiting Bonaire!

An experience through the Mangovines. Summer was a great guide and explained and told so much. We learned and experienced a lot on the tour and can only recommend it. The snorkeling finish was a bit cloudy because a group was there in front of us and stirred everything up, but we still saw some fish.
Do it!

It was fun and in a beautiful area. Our guide Yuri was knowledgeable and fun. Kayaks were easy to maneuver. It was a bit longer than expected (about 3 hours).
A cool experience

This is a tour run by locals. It was rough and rugged and you will be expected to do some grunt work lifting kayaks and such. The snorkelling was not your traditional coral, but rather took place in mangrove tunnels, which were murky, but pretty cool. You will need to get in and out of your kayak in 4-5 ft of water. Despite all of that, it was informative and enjoyable and I would recommend it if you are looking for something different from the commercial and ordinary.
1st kayak tour ever done

Nice trip, relaxed guide. Good to know that you are not allowed to bring sunscreen and mosquito play on the kayak. Apply well with both beforehand. Glass bottom is funny. Sees little fish, but nice extra.

Our guide, Stune, was great in terms of telling us all about the flora and fauna of the area. The kayaking was a good workout due to the wind. Going through the mangrove tunnels was a unique experience. Unfortunately the water was a bit murky -again due to the wind, so snorkeling yielded minimal views.
Amazing experience. Worth...
