    An amazing journey! Craig was an outstanding guide. He is extremely personable, friendly and kind. He took our safety seriously and was supportive, encouraging and helpful with our ability levels. He made the excursion extremely enjoyable. He is well educated in the cave, how they were created, the features within, along with the history of the formation. He is very conscientious of the developed and developing features and, highlights their beauty to their full potential. I highly recommend this tour. I’ve been to Bonaire twice before this trip and this was, by far, the best experience I’ve had. You’ll be missing out if you don’t go!

    Unexpectedly Challenging, Great Rewards

    Jean_K, Apr 2026
    Did not know what to expect on this excursion (should have read more prior). Although I’m afraid of heights (I didn’t mention this prior to the experience) I was able to complete all of the activities. We go deep underground (with the aid of a ladder & rope) and the ground is a bit slippery (should have packed shoes that had better traction). The guide did an amazing job of explaining how to safely enter into the cave and his calm instructions really helped ease my anxiety. The sights in the caves were really worthwhile and the grand finale was amazing.

    Cave climbing sweating swimming

    Dirk_K, Mar 2026
    I was a adventure trip. Climbing, swimming, and a little freedive. Graig explained a lot about how the caves were formed, and how we had to climb.

    A must do!

    Had the absolute greatest time on this tour! Craig is super passionate about this tour. Thanks, Craig!

    Amazing cave experience!!

    Glenn_B, Nov 2025
    What an unexpectedly amazing adventure! Kind of expected a leisurely walk through a cave or two, but come to find out it was a super adventure, climbing in/out via ladder, rappelling down a hole, using rope assist to exit, crouching and crawling on knees, navigating tights spaces, and an amazing dip deep in a cave. Craig was the absolute best - knowledgeable, friendly, and super patient. We learned so much and had a fantastic experience!! A must do here in Bonaire!!

    An otherworldly slice of earth!

    Ann_D, Nov 2025
    The Bonaire Cave tour was well worth the effort. If you are at all curious to see what lies between the sea and the land, this experience is a great opportunity to experience gorgeous stamagtite & stalagmite, mixed with coral, lava rock, ancient shells, fresh and salt water. Craig gently guided us through some challenging terrain to reach underground grottos and streams. Eye opening glimpse of how Bonaire was formed over millenia.

    Wonderful Cave tour with kids

    Adventures Bonaire Cave experience

    Michael_D, Aug 2025
    Experiencing the cave tour and swim in Bonaire was a delightful adventure that left a lasting impression on me and my two children (14 &17). Our tour guide, Craig, played a pivotal role in making this experience memorable with his extensive knowledge and engaging personality. His passion for the local geology and history was evident as he shared fascinating stories about the caves and their formations. Craig's insights added depth to our understanding of the natural wonders surrounding us. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the swim in the crystal-clear waters. After exploring the caves, we had the opportunity to take a refreshing dip, which was both exhilarating and relaxing. The water was inviting respite and perfect way to cool off. Craig ensured that everyone felt safe and comfortable, providing tips on how to navigate the caves and ensuring safe entry and exit. The tour was well-organized, with a good balance of exploration and relaxation. Craig's friendly demeanor and willingness to answer questions made the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the tour felt a bit short, as we could have easily spent more time soaking in the beauty of the caves and the surrounding landscape. Overall, the cave tour and swim in Bonaire was a fantastic outing, enhanced by Craig's expertise and charm. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Bonaire while enjoying a unique and adventurous experience.

    Amazing oppertunity- once in a life time!!

    Kelly_M, Jul 2025
    We are an adventurous family, pushing our kids to do once in a lifetime thing. So, when I say this was one of the best excursions, we have ever done I mean it. While swimming in the last underground cave our 14-year-old daughter looks at my husband and I and said "this is so cool!" My 12 year old son loved every minute of the adventure. Crawling into the tight spaces he was enamored with detailed information about the formations never scared or afraid just seeking adventure and new experiences.

    Exceptional cave exploration experience!

    Jacquelyn_M, Jun 2025
    This cave exploration and snorkeling excursion was our best guided experience in our 10 days on island. Our guide Craig was passionate, knowledgeable about the geology and non-negotiable on safety. We were able to tour three distinct caves, each with different topography and independent wonders. Our end to end experience from pick up to drop off was truly VIP. Thank you for the exceptional experience and island hospitality, Craig! We will be booking again on our next visit. Beyond excellent and highly recommend!

    Great way to end our trip to Bonaire!

    Peggy_P, May 2025
    The cave tour was a great ending to our week of diving in Bonaire. You have to be adventurous and willing to go through some tight spaces! Craig was a fabulous guide with so much knowledge about the formation of the caves.

    Go underground and hike and snorkel

    Erin_O, Feb 2025
    Unexpected surprise on Bonaire. Craig is very knowledgeable and patient. It really is a sauna effect in first cave. Don't forget gym shoes. You see three caves.

    Awesome Caving! Spelunking!

    Michael_R, Feb 2025
    Craig was a friendly and extremely knowledgeable man who gave us a wonderfully safe and exciting adventure in 3 caves, the last of which had an opportunity to swim in the cave as well as climb down in and back up and out! Memorable! Thanks, Craig and Viator! 👍👍👍👏🏻😁

    Unique memorable experience

    Helen_S, Feb 2025
    An unique experience Good clear information about what to bring and pick up time from the port They describe the activity accurately and you do need to be moderately fit but as a middle aged woman I managed with the help of Craig the very knowledgeable patient guide My husband did find the first cave too humid for him but enjoyed the next two especially the swim at the end

    Leslie_V, Jan 2025
    What a fun day we had exploring the caves of Bonaire with Craig! He was very patient, encouraging and knowledgeable about all things Bonaire. The highlight of the excursion was taking a refreshing dip and snorkel in final cave. Thank you, Craig for such a fun day!

    Amazing Experience…a MUST DO!

    Christina_M, Nov 2024
    This was a highlight of our vacation! Craig was an amazing guide. Super knowledgeable, so laid back, we couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience. We even asked to spend the rest of the day with him & have him show us around the entire island. We didn’t want the tour to end. This is a must do excursion in Bonaire.

    Cave tour

    It’s a fun trip. Our tour guide Craig is very knowledgeable and reliable. We enjoy a lot on climbing and swimming through the caves.

    Magical cave tour

    Janine_J, Sep 2024
    My guide Craig is extremely knowledgeable about Bonaire's geology and history. He was most acomodating and courteous,especially as I didn't prove fit enough for the whole tour. The cave we explored was just amazing -- like a cathedral. I enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend the tour wholeheartedly.

    Must do!

    Priscilla_B, Aug 2024
    What an amazing time we had. Craig was great and very knowledgeable. This is a must do activity when visiting Bonaire. The underwater in the third cave was the highlight.

    Amazing experience! Highly recommend!

    Caves!

    Michael_Y, Jul 2024
    Our tour guide Craig was great, very informative and took care of all our needs. Pickup at the cruise port and drop off at our rental car office for our self guided tour of Bonaire. Highly reccomend!

    Unforgettable cave experience

    Lynn_W, Jul 2024
    Craig made this great tour an absolutely amazing event for my teenage daughters and son. As a Dad, I'm always looking for confidence builders and all three caves offered unique physical/mental challenges for them. Craig educated all of us while quietly convincing my kids they could safely perform outside their comfort zones...bats, dark, tight spaces, heat, small crevices, sharp rocks, ladder/ rope assist, swimming under water. He tailored every aspect to our skill level and challenged us to confidently do more. The highlight of our cruise to the south Caribbean.

    A wonderful experience and alternative!

    Donald_T, Apr 2024
    Craig picked us up at the dock and provided an excellent, personal and knowledgeable tour of several caves including a swim! Highly recommended!

    Outstanding! Must See.

    Sarah_J, Apr 2024
    This is a must do activity while on Bonaire. Craig was not only a fantastic host he was so informative. Learned so much about these amazing caves and the island. recommend it more. Three caves were so different, unique, and amazing. You won’t regret booking this tour.

    YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!

    Ellen_B, Mar 2024
    This was my absolute favorite part of Bonaire. Yes we dove too but this experience was so unique and fun. Best part of the vacation! Our tour operator, Craig, was awesome and really made this trip amazing. He’s very patient, knowledgeable , and funny and got everyone through this safely. Our youngest was eight and the oldest in our group of six was 74. This is definitely a challenging experience and you will sweat, but it is totally worth it. I read reviews for the other companies and was impressed by how many people complemented Craig and they were right. I would totally use him if you have the opportunity. FIVE STARS!

    Unique Adventure

    JENNIFER_H, Mar 2024
    If I could have Craig as our tour guide for all things adventure I sure would! This was an amazing experience for our family! We have a 16 and 13 year old, and they both said this was their favorite part of the entire trip! Wow! These caves are absolutely amazing, and since you may never experienced snorkeling underground don’t pass this up. Craig will keep you safe, informed, and excited throughout the entire trip. You will climb, you will crawl, and you will sweat so be ready!
