The Lady Bellais was one of the best excursions that I have ever been on. For years I was hesitant to book a tour not directly through the cruise organization but this excursion has changed my perspective completely. The entire experience was well organized and well delivered and completely complimented our schedule. The captain and crew were wonderful and knew exactly where to take us to provide the best experience. I would definitely recommend this to others and already have.

Super cool experience! The boat they had us on was very comfortable, plenty of space for everyone to sit down and even lay down. The guide gave us lots of information about the local area, including history about the town. The snorkeling itself was amazing, the crew made sure we were in the perfect location! While we were snorkeling, there was a photographer with us in the water from whom we could purchase photos from. Freshly cooked chicken stew was provided to us, along with unlimited complimentary drinks. There was even a rope swing that we could swing off the ship with! Overall, super cool experience, would definitely recommend!

We just came home from an ABC cruise. This by far was our favorite excursion. The entire crew was great. The provided lunch was yummy.

We booked this last minute while we were on a Princess Cruise. It was a short walk out of the cruise port and then we rode a school bus to the marina where the boat was docked. We had a great time- snorkeling was good although it was very windy, lunch was amazing, and we all enjoyed it! Drinks and lunch were provided as well as snorkeling gear.

This was a fabulous excursion! The staff were great and very knowledgeable about the history of the snorkel location. Lunch was phenomenal! The chicken was some of the best food I ate all week.

A very enthusiastic family owned excursion! They were very knowledgeable about Bonaire and shared the history with us. They took safety seriously while still making sure everyone had a fun time. It was a great experience with snorkeling, rope swing, homemade food and more. We highly recommend this group for groups large or small. Lots of room to move around and ask questions. It was a great afternoon!

Great experience sailing to a beautiful spot for snorkeling. Crew was fun and so welcoming. Our ship was late coming in to the port in Bonaire and the boat graciously delayed the sailing a few hours for us.

This is a very well run operation that provided a fun and educational snorkelling outing. The boat itself is beautiful. The crew were all professional, fun, and friendly. It's a great way to see the beautiful island and waters around Bonaire. The fresh local dish at lunch made it an extra special outing as well. Our family had a ball!
Gail_B, Feb 2026
Great value! Wonderful staff, food, snorkeling from a beautiful boat. We enjoyed every aspect of this trip in the gorgeous turquoise waters of Bonaire!

This was by far the best part of our trip. We did the ABC Island cruise out of Miami and chose this excursion for our Bonaire stop. I did some research on this before picking it and I’m so glad we did. The entire crew was amazing the whole time. Very engaging and entertaining throughout the whole trip. They took us to different spots to learn about the area. Then we stopped to go snorkeling for about a hour or so. They had a photographer on board to take photos of everyone on the boat and in the water while snorkeling (The photos are extra but totally worth it). The excursion came with all drinks and lunch included. The lunch was local dish cooked by the captain’s wife. It was sooooo good!! Swinging off the rope swing was the cherry on the top. I would highly recommend going on this excursion if you are ever in Bonaire.

Bradford_G, Jan 2026
The crew was amazing! Great trip out to a snorkeling site on a big boat also able to sit on the upper deck where you can see the entire island. Open bar was a plus after snorkeling for a bit and the lunch was delicious!

Tess_G, Jan 2026
This was my second time doing this excursion and it is just as amazing! The crew is wonderful and we had a great time snorkeling! I love the underwater photography and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend!!
Jamie_G, Jan 2026
This excursion was the highlight of our cruise hands down! The staff was absolutely amazing, boat was clean, the snorkeling (mask and fins provided) was perfect. They provided a delicious home cooked lunch of creole chicken stew, rice and coleslaw! Soooo good! The drinks were strong and kept on coming!
I can’t say enough about how great the staff were as well! Extremely friendly and accommodating, my father in law hurt his knee before our trip and they were very helpful and made him feel safe and were ready to help if he couldn’t get in an out of the schooner. The Lady Bellais is a beautiful Brazilian schooner with every amenity to make your excursion absolutely amazing.
Our snorkeling spot was beautiful! We parked right off the reef, that had a huge amount of fish.
Our group of 9 ranged from 16-65 and every one of us had the best time. This excursion was hands down our family's favorite part of our cruise and if/when we are back in Bonaire I will book every time!

We had so much fun! To start, the meeting point is very convenient, check in process was smooth and timely. Short ride to the marina. Beautiful boat, awesome captain, host, and staff! Started by snorkeling, a turtle swam right underneath me! Purchased the underwater photos for a small additional charge. The food was Bomb! (chicken, rice and coleslaw meal, my 12 year old daughter even said it was really good). Rope swing was a blast as well. Includes an open bar where mixed drinks and beer is offered. We had a great time. Would highly recommend!
Tracy_S, Jan 2026
No worries you are on vacation! They took care of everything. They pickup is up at the cruise terminal and transported us to the boat. Once aboard, the music and drinks were flowing. We received a brief history of Bonaire on the way to the snorkeling spot. Snorking was good, even got to see two sea turtles. Back on board we were able to use the rope swing before the delicious meal was served. One the way back to the dock there was dancing and fun to be had by all! Crew was exceptional! This is the second time we have been on this excursion, and it doesn’t disappoint!
