What To Expect
This is a guided snorkeltrip that will take you to one of the locations locally known to have the most turtles and lots of fish. After this it is a 15 minut drive to see the wild flamingo's, the bonairian national animal. The guide is a PADI scuba diving instructor with over 20 years of experience and knows plenty of fun facts about the local marine life. The trip usually invaulves auite some swimming. If you prefer to not have to swim much or are not comfortable in the water make sure to tell your guide in advance so we can adjust the snorkel route by entering on a difrent spot! There will be a verry high propability of seeing turtles up close, but since we do not want to have any interfearence with nature in any way, (for example feeding to lure turtles) there is always a posibility of no turtle to be found. That doesn't mean the trip is not interesting since the beautiful corals and fish are still very nice to see and your guide can tell you many interesting facts about them for those who are interested.

5.00Jim is a knowledgeable guide. He found turtles right away. He was helpful with putting snorkel gear on. He knew exactly where to swim and find turtles. He taught us so much about the island!
A super experience!

5.00The tour is highly recommended! The guide tells a lot, and has a lot of experience snorkeling with the turtles. He goes into the water with them, and takes pictures with the turtles’ own camera.
a nice, relaxed morning

5.00A "rocky" start but a great ending. We started the day off with some misscommunication with the pick up time and location but it was resolved and we were on our way to Snorkel with the Turtles. We spent approx 45 minutes and then were on our way to the Marine park to see the flamingos. The surprise was when we were taken for drinks to a local bar at Jibe City Beach Bar and we were able to watch the windsurfing. We were returned to meeting spot at the end of the day.
Fun adventure

5.00This was a fun activity that did not include a boat! We snorkeled from the shore near the salt pier and saw turtles and lots of other fish. From there we drove around the south end of the island and saw the flamingoes…then to the east side to watch the kite surfers and enjoy a beverage! The guide was great!

5.00Our guide did a wonderful job of showing us the marine life in the waters just off shore. We were able to easily walk-in to the ocean and begin seeing fish immediately. He was conscientious in regard to safely and knowledgeable about the area. It was just the right level of activity, which was finished by a local spot to have a quick bite of food while sitting right on the water.
Fantastic Snorkeling Experience

5.00During our day on Bonaire, we went on a snorkeling trip with Kenny, and it was truly an amazing experience! Kenny is a super friendly Belgian who has been living on Bonaire for years and knows exactly where to go to show you the very best of the underwater world. He picked us up at the cruise terminal in his pickup truck and took us to a beautiful snorkeling spot near the salt pans. Within just a few minutes in the water, he had already found turtles – and not just one, but several! It was magical to see these wonderful animals up close. We also spotted colorful schools of fish and even “Dory” from Finding Nemo. Kenny is patient, enthusiastic, and clearly very passionate about the ocean. He makes sure you feel safe and that you can fully enjoy the experience. No rushing, no crowds – just pure, personal, and relaxed. If you’re visiting Bonaire and want an unforgettable snorkeling adventure, definitely go with Kenny. An absolute highlight of our trip and highly recommended!

5.00Krista was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable about everything we saw. Since we had the time, she took us back to our cruise ship the long way so we could see/ learn more. And snorkeling was amazing! She made sure we saw so much wildlife! 100% recommend! This company in general is great. I forgot my phone in the truck and had no service to call so I only had email. They responded very quickly and he met me to get it back to me. I so appreciate quick response I got!
Super experience

5.00What a super cool experience. Guide was friendly, told a lot and was very knowledgeable. We had found sea turtles in no time and he also made us a video of swimming with the turtles with our own underwater camera! After this tour around the southern part of the island and spotted flamingos, went to a bar for a drink. All in all highly recommended!
