Hands down the best snorkeling tour we’ve ever done! Marco was a great guide. I’ve been snorkeling many times, but never starting in shallow water from the beach. This is such a unique experience. My sister was newer at snorkeling and Marco took the time to explain things to her and she had a much more enjoyable experience Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to snorkel in Bonaire. One of the best things is that it was just me and my sister- not a huge group of strangers Thanks for a great tour Marco!

Amazing time.

Kirsten was amazing. She gave us all the details we needed to meet her at the cruise terminal, and was right on time. The beach she took us to was clear, clean and not over crowded. She sent us the underwater photos within a few hours.

Great day on Bonaire

Constance_C, Dec 2023
Kirsten is absolutely awesome guide. She is full of life and very knowledgable about Bonaire. She plans the day well and is really flexible if you wish to add or subtract her usual tour. She chooses the ‘perfect’ snorkel spot and is attuned to the skill level of her guests. Kirsten made the day SO much fun.

Best snorkeling experience yet!

Peggy_T, Aug 2023
My private tour guide was Kirsten. If you love to snorkel or if snorkeling in a beautiful waters is on your bucket list than this is the experience for you. I chose this private one over my cruises cause I wanted a more personalized experience with my skill level. This was top two best snorkeling events I have done. My tour guide was so kind and careful to make sure I was comfortable doing what we were doing. She toke great care of me and I couldn’t of asked for a better guide. Completely and totally recommend this tour to anyone considering snorkeling in Bonaire.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hi Peggy, thank you so much for this great review. It was my pleasure to be your private snorkeling guide. You were very enthusiastic and curious, that is always nice for a guide ;-). We saw a lot of things, but the the sea turtle that was swimming right up to you, if she was saying hello, that was a magical moment. Hope to see you again on Dushi Bonaire. Sunny regards, Kirsten

Amazing Private Snorkeling Trip

Susan_P, Jun 2023
Kristen was great making sure every detail was handled made it very easy to book, stayed in communication and gave clear details to lead us right to Willy our. Amazing guide. If you are looking for a personal snorkeling trip these 2 are for you. Willy shared details about the island and herself and what it was like to live in Bonaire. The drive was all of about 15-20 minutes to one of her favorite places to snorkel. We, mu husband and I, spent the rest of the time in the water looking at amazing coral and fish. She took pictures for us so we didn’t have to worry about the camera and could just enjoy. Thank you Kristen and Willy. Hope to be back to Bonaire one day. Hopefully to dive with you.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for this great review. It was our pleasure to give you the best time on Dushi Bonaire. Thank you for your trust in us. Hope to see you next time. Sunny greetings Willy and Kirsten

Whitney_D, Apr 2023
Loved we were on a private tour just with Kirsten! She was very knowledgeable about the island and took us to a private area to snorkel. The fish were beautiful! She also took underwater photos of us and sent them to us within an hour of being done.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Fantastic day!!!

Julia_B, Mar 2023
We loved this private snorkeling trip. Kirsten took us to a quiet beach with the most beautiful white sand and the bluest of water. She new exactly where to go to find all the fish and pointed out things we may have missed. Thank you Kirsten for a great tour.

A great day to snorkel

deborah_c, Jan 2023
The operator was timely, communicated well, very personable and friendly. she was appropriately cautious and safety minded in regards to the seas. She demonstrated a strong knowledge of snorkeling and sea life. She also provided a narrative of history and pointed out unique areas of interest including the pink sea. Operator advertised photos of the experience and she provided some very nice photos which I will treasure of my experience. I would recommend this private tour to anyone as it is so much better than booking those cruise excursions!!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Deborah, thank you for the nice review and compliments. It was my pleasure to be your private snorkeling guide. Sunny greetings Kirsten

Nice private snorkeling tour.

Stephen_C, Jan 2023
Very flexible guide focused on a good experience for us. She was on time and very prepared when we experienced waves that were not normal.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for the review. Yes there were some big waves. It didn't feel save on that particular spot. I was happy that we found a better spot. Thank you for your trust in me. Sunny greetings Kirsten

Great family snorkeling experience

Zhimang_G, Jan 2023
We booked this private snorkeling tour a few months ago. Kirsten sent us messages on meeting location and time. At the tour day, she gave us a good instruction on how to do the right snorkeling and guided us a two-hour snorkeling. We saw lots of coral and lots of sea creatures. It was a really happy family experience. We appreciate Kirsten's patience and great guidance. I strongly recommend this private tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you so much for the nice review. You are a lovely family and it was really my pleasure to be your private snorkeling guide. Sunny greetings Kirsten

Great fun and tour guide

Melissa_L, Jan 2023
Kirsten was great with her communication leading up to the excursion and explained where we could find her after getting off the ship. She was also a great tour guide and guide during our snorkeling adventure. It had been a while since a few of us had last snorkeled and Kirsten made us all very comfortable in the water.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Melissa, thank you for the nice review. It was my pleasure to be your private snorkeling guide. You have a great family. Very curios and enthusiastic, great. Sunny regards Kirsten

Snorkelling in Bonaire with Kirsten

ELIZABETH_F, Dec 2022
A great snorkelling experience, Kirsten met us and took us to a beautiful beach. I couldn't recommend this experience more, just fabulous, one of our best snorkelling experiences in the Caribbean. Kirsten was very knowledgeable and her photos are a bonus. Thanks for a great time

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Reef expertise AND Pictures!!!

Stephanie_D, Oct 2022
Kirsten was EXCELLENT! As our first excursion on Bonaire, a perfect introduction to reef etiquette and expert fauna-spotting, identificatio, and freediving pointers! Relax, take a breath and enjoy your saltwater relaxation session in the beauty of Bonaire. Kirsten, a STINAPA Reef Ranger, also provided amazing pictures of us and the things we saw! Eels, octopus, tarpon, sponges, slugs, and so many more. Don't forget to pay your STINAPA nature tax!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Amazing Snorkeling Tour

Jeff_G, Sep 2022
This was by far the best snorkeling trip I have been on. Kirsten was an amazing guide for our trip and took us to an amazing private spot to enjoy some of Bonaire’s amazing undersea life. We saw so many amazing fish which she captured on her camera and sent the pics to us after the trip. She is very knowledgeable of Bonaire and we highly recommended her to anyone considering the experience she shared to her clients. Thank you again Kirsten for such a wonderful day!!

Response from Host, Sep 2022
