Description
Our mangrove glass bottom kayak & snorkel tour begins at the lovely beach from Lac Cai. The Bonaire Mangrove reserve is located in Lac Bay National Park. Visitors can only enter the mangroves in the company of an experienced nature guide. Your stable, glass bottom sit-on-top kayak is equipped with a comfortable backrest seat, a waterproof bag for your personal belongings and, of course, paddles. Off you go, into the calm waters.
The glass bottom kayak provides an ideal mode of transport in this beautiful and tranquil environment, as you manoeuvre with ease through the mangrove shallows and tunnels.
Gliding by four different species of mangrove trees in crystal-clear waters, paddling past bird habitats and fish spawning areas, you'll learn of the relationship between the plants and the animals. The snorkel location offers a great variety of marine life and is considered by many a must-do while visiting Bonaire!

A must-do in Bonaire
We were picked up by our guide Youri. On the way to the start of the kayak tour, he already talked for a hundred about everything we saw and about Bonaire, that was great!
Great to do, seen and learned a lot, thanks Youri!!
One tip, slather on a lot and wear a hat or cap and a rash guard, you'll get sunburned!
But a must-do in Bonaire, hopefully you'll meet Youri too!

Very beautiful beach!...
Very beautiful beach! loved the experience and the tour guide only complaint was that we did get a rash from the mangroves after wards and it left us itchy and a little welted but overall still a great experience!

Small problems, but loved it!
Pick up location was convenient to port and they were on time. The van was old and "well used", and the roads to the kayak tour was very rough. The bathroom at the starting point was rustic... However, the kayaks were clean, the guide was wonderful, the scenery was terrific, the water was clear, and snorkeling gear was provided and seemed clean. Overall it was a very nice experience. You do have to have some strength and stamina to paddle your kayak, but I'm 77 and had no problem keeping up.

Superb Trip
A thoroughly enjoyable trip. Our guide was entertaining and included the whole group, so nobody felt left out. Explanations were given at various points during the tour, and we were lucky enough to see turtles twice, including one very large and old. Pick up was easy and organised. All in all a 10/10 trip. Thanks 😊

Very beautiful
Lube yourself well, including your feet. Beautiful tour through the mangrove. Lots of shade, but also some patches of open water where you are completely in the sun. Cooling while snorkeling through a mangrove tunnel. Tour guide tells fun facts and has a nice rapport with the group. Everything relaxed. I would recommend going as early as possible so you can have the morning sun ;) very nice trip

This was the best experience ever!!! I wish I could leave 1000 reviews ❣️❣️❣️
The guide was awesome and the tour was off the beaten path. They don't tell all the cool things you see along the way.

Not spectacular
We heard a lot about the mangroves, which are also very important, but I wanted a bit more about the snorkeling, and the fish or turtles from a distance.
