Bonaire is one of the southern Caribbean's favourite ports of call, and the very best of the island — the reef, the turquoise shallows, Klein Bonaire — lies just off the coast you docked at. You don't need a bus tour to find it. You need a boat, a crew that respects your all-aboard time, and a morning on the water.
Our Sail & Snorkel shore excursion was built specifically for cruise guests. We depart Plaza Resort Marina — minutes from the cruise terminal — at 8:30 or 9:00 AM, sail along the Kralendijk coastline under real canvas, stop at a sheltered reef for 30–45 minutes of guided snorkelling, and have you back at the dock with a comfortable buffer before your ship sails.
The $49 per person covers the sail, high-grade snorkel gear, guides in the water with you, a light lunch and an open bar of beer, rum, wine and soft drinks on the way back. Bring your swimsuit, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen and a hat that can be secured — that's it. You must be able to swim.
When you book, tell us your ship and departure time. We track port schedules and plan the morning around them — in more than ten years of sailing this coast, nobody has missed a ship.
If your ship stays late, the afternoon Dinner at Sea (departs 3:00 PM) and the sunset aperitivo cruise (boarding 4:30 PM) are open to cruise guests whenever the timing works — check your all-aboard time first. Or compare all boat trips on Bonaire at a glance.
