What To Expect
Bonaire National Marine Park
Covering all the waters surrounding Bonaire and Klein Bonaire, this is an area of about 27 km² (6672 acres). It hosts a variety of ecosystems such as its renowned coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds and it includes the areas of Lac and Klein Bonaire. It is a multi-use Marine Protected Area as anybody is welcome to enter the waters and a wide array of activities are provided such as scuba diving, snorkeling, sightseeing, fishing, watersports & more.
Klein Bonaire
Klein Bonaire is a small uninhabited island located just off the coast of Bonaire. It is about half a mile from Bonaire at its closest point. We’ll show you the most beautiful Beaches Klein Bonaire has to offer. These are only accessible by boat and are home to the most well-preserved corals and beautiful fish. This area is part of the National Marine Park and is home to turtle nesting grounds. It is very likely you will see sea turtles in this area.

5.00Had an amazing day with Captain Darin! Amazing value for a private excursion. We hit a few snorkeling spots and kids had a blast being pulled on the tube behind the boat. A perfect afternoon in Bonaire. Thanks Darin!

5.00This was our favorite excursion! The private beach was one of the nicest beaches we’ve been to. Crystal clear, calm water and plenty of fish to see. We loved it so much that we stayed a little Longer than expected. An added bonus was the ability to go tubing. Captain Darin and John were excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. They had a cooler full of adult and kid beverages for us. Overall great experience!
First class service and experience

5.00A great experience for all travelers. We had various levels of snorkeling experience and ages and Tariq ensured everyone was comfortable and had an engaging experience. The ride was smooth even though it was a windy day. He had lots of information about the island and gave a great tour as we explored some of the best snorkeling places and gorgeous beaches. We saw tons of fish at every spot, the water was crystal clear, and the coral was gorgeous. It is a beautiful island and wish we had more time. He even accommodated our unique needs. Would highly recommend anyone visiting the island take a trip with him.
Fantastic private tour!!!

5.00We have snorkeled all over the world and Captain Tariq is the best of the best! Bonaire is a beautiful island and the reefs are teeming with a great variety of marine life, but his local knowledge and friendly personality are what really put it over the top. Do not miss out, cannot recommend enough!

5.00Captain Darin absolutely met and far exceeded my expectations. He and his first mate Little John catered to our every need. Darin is most knowledgeable about every aspect of Caribbean life to include the environment, marine life, economics of the island and much, much more. I most highly recommend Salty Tours when in Bonaire!
Amazing experience. Great...

5.00Amazing experience. Great day on the water. The boat was perfect; Darin was an excellent host and showed us the great spots to snorkel and beach. Definitely worth booking for a family versus going with a large cruise line excursion group. Darin met us right by the cruise ship pier, responsive to questions, and made the day perfect with his hospitality. 10/10 day, 100% worth it.
