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.

Successful goal in a short time

3.00We managed to see two turtles and pink flamingos which was the objective of our activity. However, our stopover was short and our activity started 90 minutes late due to a mechanical problem suffered by a colleague of our guide. Our activity was therefore reduced by 45 minutes and was deprived of a stop in a very beautiful beach. Our guide was kind and helpful. Without this bad luck, our activity would have been magnificent.
Dont do it

3.00This activity was a bit of a disappointment for our group. The operators were polite but unengaging and a bit rough around the edges. The equipment provided (water shoes, masks/snorkels, flippers) was worn and ill-fitting. One pair of water shoes was worn through completely at the toes and they had no extras. Entrance to the water was rocky and the surf was rough getting in and out. Two guests gave up after just a few minutes and returned to shore. We did see several sea turtles once we got out to the area where they feed. Afterward, we were driven a few miles to a pull-off on the side of the road to view flamingos in salt water flats. They were quite distant and no binoculars were provided to view them. No amenities were provided, not even water.
A great experience.

5.00Great guide. He was both knowledgeable and very caring and watchful during our time in the water. He took extra trouble to look for and guide us each to see many turtles.
Initially had our trip...

5.00Initially had our trip cancelled but we were offered another day or a refund. We were able to enjoy the trip and saw sea turtles as promised. The snorkeling was good and we also learned information about the island.
I truly enjoyed this...

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

5.00It's a great trip. We saw many turtles and fish - later also wild flamingos. during the final break on the beach we were able to refresh ourselves again. Additionally lots of information about the island - a great excursion
Well Worth the Value

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.
