Bonaire & Klein Bonaire: Private Boat Charter, Snorkeling & Beach StopsYou’ll ride with a local captain across Bonaire’s bright waters, snorkel off Klein Bonaire where sea turtles glide past coral gardens, and relax on quiet beaches only boats can reach. Bring your own snacks or drinks—there’s ice onboard—and try tubing if you’re up for it. It’s less about ticking boxes and more about soaking up that easy island feeling together.
Bonaire: Private Boat Rental to Klein Bonaire & Snorkel SpotsYou’ll steer your own boat from Kralendijk’s marina out to Klein Bonaire or one of dozens of snorkeling spots nearby. Feel the warm breeze and freedom as you set your pace—stop to swim or just float awhile with friends or family. Cold drinks stay chilled in your coolbox while you explore above and below the waterline. It’s simple, relaxed fun that sticks with you after you’re back on shore.
Bonaire: Big Game Fishing Charter & Snorkeling with GearYou’ll join Captain Arjen on Bonaire’s blue water for big game fishing or coastal snorkeling—gear included either way. Spot dolphins or turtles as you wait for a bite, listen to stories from your guide, and maybe end up caring more about the moments than the catch itself.

Bonaire Catamaran: Snorkel & Grilled Dinner Klein BonaireYou board a catamaran in Bonaire and snorkel two sites in the Marine Park with a professional guide who knows the reef. Between dives you float in calm water while the crew grills fresh tuna, steak and burgers on deck. Drinks, snorkel gear and all food are included; you return to harbor as the sun sets.Is it for me?Book this if you want to snorkel Bonaire's reef without renting a boat or hunting for lunch — the catamaran handles the navigation, the guide handles the reef knowledge, and the crew handles the food, so you just show up and get in the water.
Klein Bonaire: Two-Reef Snorkeling with Boat & Gear IncludedYou get picked up from your hotel or cruise ship, spend 3.5 hours visiting two reefs in the Bonaire National Marine Park with a professional guide, snorkel gear, and a boat captain who knows the sites. Between stops, you rest on deck with snacks and drinks. The whole thing—transport, equipment, guide—is included, so you show up and get in the water.Is it for me?Right for cruise passengers and hotel guests who want to snorkel without renting a car or figuring out logistics—pickup is included and timed to your schedule. Expect to be in and out of the water twice in one morning, which is what lets you see two different reefs without a full-day commitment.
Bonaire: Schooner Snorkel Trip & Local Lunch with BarYou’ll sail Bonaire’s coast on a spacious schooner with local guides, snorkel vibrant reefs (gear included), then share a homemade lunch prepared by your crew. Drinks flow from an open bar as you relax on deck or nets—even if you skip snorkeling. It’s less about rushing around and more about soaking up small moments: laughter over lunch, salt air in your hair, maybe even spotting a turtle if you’re lucky.
Bonaire: Catamaran Snorkel & BBQ Sail with Lunch & DrinksYou’ll sail along Bonaire’s bright coastline on a catamaran, guided by locals who know every patch of reef. Snorkel warm waters in Bonaire Marine Park, then eat fresh BBQ lunch straight off the grill with an open bar nearby. Whether you’re stepping off a cruise or exploring on your own, expect relaxed company and those small moments you’ll remember later—like salt drying on your skin or laughing over lunch.

Bonaire cave climbing & snorkeling: Explore underground poolsThis activity combines cave climbing and snorkeling on Bonaire, taking you through both dry cave structures and a submerged freshwater pool where you swim with snorkeling gear.

Pickup is included, and flashlights and snorkeling equipment are provided. The activity requires good physical fitness and comfort with climbing and swimming; participants must be between 10 and 70 years old.Is it for me?Book this if you speak English, French or Dutch and want a guide who can explain the cave geology and island history as you go—the commentary is built into the experience, not an add-on.
