Enjoy this breathtaking underwater world with safe, quality gear from this sturdy and comfortable vessel. Don't forget your underwater camera as you explore the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Upon meeting your guide outside your Bonaire cruise terminal you will be checked in and head out for the short 10-minute drive to the Marina where your professional local guide will escort you to your safe, sleek, and speedy boat for the day. Your 33-foot vessel, powered by two 200 HP engines will get you, and a maximum of 10 guests, to two amazing snorkeling spots within the Marine Park quickly and comfortably. 

While on board, your knowledgeable guide will present valuable information about the sites at the Marine Park as well as provide printed materials for you to look up various creatures you might see. Bonaire's Marine Park is world famous for its active management of the island's marine resources. The park includes 6,700 acres (2,700 hectares) of fringing reefs, seagrasses, and mangroves. Home to virtually every species of hard and soft coral found in the Caribbean, more than 340 fish species live here, making it one of the healthiest and most bio-diverse reefs in the region. Get ready for this amazing adventure! You just might want to bring along an underwater camera to capture some of the sights!

Your guide will be ready to take any questions you might have as well as ensure your safety both in and out of the boat. They will pass out your snorkeling gear, show you how to use it if necessary, and then assist you into the water for your guided snorkel once you arrive at the first location. Please note that snorkeling is from the boat and guests will not be able to touch the bottom and should be comfortable in the open water.

Your two snorkeling spots will be determined by weather conditions on the day of your excursion. While on board, you will enjoy unlimited bottled water, soft drinks (Coke, Fanta, ginger ale), or juice, and snacks (Dutch cookies, chocolate brownies, or seasonal fruit) to help energize and refresh between snorkeling sites. The total time of the excursion will be approximately 3.5 hours including two snorkeling adventures of an hour each.

Once your snorkeling time is completed, the boat will take you back to the dock where you will re-board your air-conditioned transportation to return to your Bonaire cruise terminal.
