Good But Not Excellent

4.00Mostly a good experience. The issue was my wife was a snorkel beginner, the rest of us already had snorkeling experience. My wife struggled trying to get out past the many coral holes in the shore break to reach the deeper water. Sas our guide said if my wife couldn’t go with us, she’d have to stay on the beach or car, or we’d potentially have to cancel the trip! My wife took one for the team and ended up saying she didn’t want to go and would sit at the car, just to be sure the rest of us were able to snorkel. After that, Sas did a great job taking us snorkeling, and took really nice pictures of us and the marine life. In all other ways she was a perfect guide. It wasn’t until we got back to the ship that I found out my wife took one for the team so that our entire trip wouldn’t be cancelled. Now that I look back at it I wish I’d known about this issue. I would have asked Sas to spend 5 or 10 minutes getting my wife out past the holes in the shore break and spend a few minutes helping her get accustomed to snorkeling. We would have waited for her to help my wife get used to snorkeling. And as a group we would have been happy to have taken it at my wife’s pace. So overall a good experience, but not an excellent experience. I’d suggest to anyone doing this that if you have beginners be careful. Be real sure you have that conversation as soon as you meet the guide - and explain to them you’re comfortable waiting while your beginner is introduced to snorkeling and you all are comfortable taking it at their pace. We ended up paying for my wife’s trip, even though she spent the entire time sitting on the bumper of Sas’ car! The lesson from this is if you have a mixed group of beginners and more experienced snorkelers be cautious, this may not be the best trip for mixed-experience groups. And for anyone who’s an experienced snorkeler you’ll have a great time with the VIP Private Snorkeling Tour.
Wow. Discover new snorkeling spots

5.00With Kirsten we went out from our resort where we were picked up for our snorkel tour. We have been coming to Bonaire for 15 years and have our regular places to snorkel. So with the question surprise us. And she has. Super relaxed with the current over a new (now favorite place) full of fish, turtles and even sea snakes. Real wow.

Make This Your First Snorkeling Tour in Bonaire!

5.00Since this was my first time in Bonaire I decided to do a mix of group and private tours to compare experiences. I found this company through Facebook and Google and booked directly with them on their site. Kirsten was professional and friendly and answered all my questions via WhatsApp. I was super excited for this tour long before I arrived in Bonaire and the experience did not disappoint! Pickup from my hotel was on time and I had the choice of where to go to snorkel. Following Kirsten's advice and information about visibility at various sites around the island we snorkeled and Andrea I and II and WOW - the fish and coral were amazing! It was great not having to worry about bumping into other snorkelers like you would on a group trip. We spent more than an hour in the water in both the shallow and deeper areas of the two sites and Kirsten stopped to take photos and provide info about what I was seeing every few minutes. I also got the photos she took the same day. I learned so much about the reef system in Bonaire and got some very important equipment advice that saved me from "mask disaster" for the rest of my trip. When (not if) I return to Bonaire I'll definitely snorkel with Private Guided Tours Bonaire again!

5.00Let the currents guide your Heart… What a wonderful experience! From the moment Kirsten picked us up we were sucked into the wonderful vibe of Bonaire and the enthusiasm and cosiness of Kirsten. Once in the water it got even better! She guided us in a very relaxed way to show the beautiful marine life. So much that you otherwise quickly overlook yourself. We made a big tour, but time flew by! Everything is really better underwater. And then the pictures: such a beautiful lasting memory. It was our first time doing a private tour, but this tour is something you just have to allow yourself. This was really a gift.Thank you Kirsten, we enjoyed it!
Fantastic trip

5.00My daughter did the snorkeling tour with Kirsten today. It is highly recommended, she came back from the tour with a big smile. She really enjoyed all the fish and especially the turtle she saw was a gift. Received beautiful pictures afterwards which gives her a beautiful lasting memory.
A warm welcome to the water…

We loved the variety of marine life and the easy water access points. Really grateful for our beautiful morning under the sea.
