We had an incredible adventure with Tariq on Bonaire! He provided us with the best snorkeling we’ve ever experienced while sharing knowledge about the area and personal attention to every detail down to the type of beverage we liked. We swam with a beautiful sea turtle and stopped at a small island to explore! He was the epitome of kindness and a great captain! If you want the best, experience Bonaire with him!
Truly amazing! We literally got off the ship and walked to an adjacent pier and were picked up and we were snorkeling in 5 different areas that were truly beautiful. Saw a lion fish on a reef and a ton of coral and fish. The guide is awesome, low key and kind. 100% would do it again!
After the cruise line canceled our tour, we booked a private tour in Bonaire with Captain Darren of Salty Tours ( boat name) . It was the best tour of the cruise . We went to excellent snorkel sites , road on tubes ( everyone young and older had a blast ) , and seen the coastline with a narrative of different buildings . Plenty of cold beverages for everyone, snorkel gear , and floatation devices. We were a party of 7 and there was plenty of room on the boat. There is a metal canopy for shade but you can sun on other areas of the boat. I would highly recommend Darren for your family adventures. A decision you will not regret!
Had a great time!! Would book this again! Snorkel locations wonderful. Water tubing between snorkeling locations was enjoyed. Liked that it was just our private group and pick up and drop off was just steps from the cruise ship.
My family had a great time. Crew was wonderful and they even let my 4 year old grandson drive the boat, The Captain was guiding him. We would highly recommend this excursion.
Our charter was perfect! Our guide Darin was amazing and made sure we saw the best of Bonaire while having a blast and telling us about the history of the island. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to see the island from a different perspective. The group rate was perfect for our large group and so was the length of time we spent at each location.
Excellent tour for seeing the island from the water and snorkeling. A private tour that captain Darin that we could make it our own . Darin makes it very easy to get on and off the boat and has plenty of refreshments to keep you hydrated during your journey. 5 star recommendations
Captain Deren was amazing!! All 10 of us adults fit comfortably in his boat. The dock where he picked us up is right near the ship so less than a minute walk to get to him. He gave us a tour of the island from the water and provided beer and non-alcoholic drinks too. He brought us to Klein Bonaire to swim before all the other snorkel tours and water taxis arrived. We then went to a snorkel spot where he provided pool noodles if you just wanted to swim or masks/snorkels if you wanted to snorkel. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Our family had an amazing day with Darin, our boat captain from Salty Tours. The boat had plenty of shade and he even provided all of us with snorkel gear. There was plenty of water, beer and soda for all to enjoy. Our first snorkel stop was Klein Bonaire. The reef was amazing with all kinds of fish. The entire family loved tubing off the back of the boat. Darin shared his knowledgeable about Bonaire. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you Darin for a fabulous day.
Captain Darin was a pleasure. He kept the family safe and accommodated all our requests.
