We really enjoyed our snorkeling excursion with Germaine and Larry. They were friendly and courteous. They took us to three great snorkeling sites. We saw turtles and tons of fish, as well as dolphins. They talked to us about the island and sea life. We would definitely recommend this trip to our friends who visit Bonaire..

Excited and enjoyful, we shared in family and go deep into beautiful waters and beach.Try to visit No Name beach

Great time!

Ann_L, Dec 2025

We had a great time. The only down side was getting on and off the boat. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable and fun.

Great experience, go to 3...

David_T, Jul 2025

Great experience, go to 3 snorkeling areas. Need to be physically able to get on the boat with assistance from the crew.

Wonderful day of snorkeling

Chris_L, Jun 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops. Everyone was great and we enjoyed the snacks and the whole day. The ladder is a little hard to climb back up on, but not that big of an issue.

Great time

Sherry_N, Mar 2025

It was a small group. And we snorkeled 3 locations. Klein was our favorite could have stayed all day. Fun time

A fun half day snorkeling!

Connie_C, Mar 2025

We were only in Bonaire for a short time. This was the perfect tour for our quick port stop. There were only six people on our tour and we were all from the same Cruise. We are picked up right on time just out side the port gate.. We took a short van ride through the city then we boarded a boat that took us to three different snorkeling spots. The snorkeling in Bonaire was absolutely beautiful!

We went to three...

Jeffrey_C, Mar 2025

We went to three different places to snorkel. The team was very helpful and had all the equipment we needed. We had a member of our group that was needing special attention due to recent surgery. They were especially helpful with all our needs.

Fantastic Bonaire Excursion- Highly Recommend

MikeTurner, Mar 2025

Germaine and Rich were great hosts..knew tons about not only the water, the island and shared so much information. Boat was great. Saw previous reviews, yes you take a small dingy to the much bigger boat but it was no big deal and they helped immensely...we are mid 50's. Fantastic trip, viewed lots of different sea life, would highly recommend.

Excellent snorkeling...

Paul_S, Feb 2025

Excellent snorkeling locations! I saw lots of colorful fish! Very nice employees. Be aware getting to the boat is a little tricky because they take you to a small dock where you climb down into a dingy which takes you to the boat which is anchored a short way out in the bay. It is a little tricky climbing in and out so don't try this if you have mobility issues.

Good excursion to try

Annette_M, Dec 2024

We snorkeled at 3 different locations. The water was a little deep at 2, but the snorkeling at Klein beach was amazing. No problems with pick up and drop off at our hotel. Overall, it was a good excursion and well-priced.

Nice trip

Artemis_M, Aug 2024

I enjoyed mostly just cruising along the water and the last stop where we got to go onto Klein beach. Beware that to get to the boat you have to climb down into a little rubber dingy from the dock and back again to the dock at the end- not an easy feat. The ad should say this so people know if climbing is difficult for you ot you have elderly or little kids. Also the last stop (or whichever is Klein beach)- we went out of order... The guys don't tell you, but he starts throwing cookies in the water and the fish come right up. My camera battery had died right before that so I missed some cool photos. If they had told me I would have kept my camera off til then. Also, they don't hand out drinks to everyone. You HAVE to ask- or you get nothing. They put out some grilled chicken strips which were tasty. For Bonaire having a great reputation for snorkeling and having so many fish- we were very disappointed. Just saw lots of little bait fish and the Reef fish that he fed. Maybe there are better areas to snorkel and he just didn't take us - idk.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad that you enjoyed cruising along the water and at the stop at Klein beach. Note that in our description we announced that we are using a dingy to transport guests from the pier to the boat. We understand your disappointed that you didn’t see as many fish as expected during your visit. While marine life can vary from day to day, most of our guests do typically enjoy a rich variety of fish and vibrant coral along our beaches. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience next time.” We regret to hear that the drink service did not meet your expectations. Our team aims to provide attentive service, and we appreciate your comment as it helps us improve. However, we value your feedback, and your comment will be shared with our team. We’re sorry to hear that your camera battery died. It’s always unfortunate when those moments can’t be captured! We hope the memories you made are just as lasting, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime for more unforgettable views and experiences.

Great Boating Snorkeling

Emil_W, May 2024

This was great to have about to ourselves and the reefs were great. The staff was friendly and we it was all better than expected.

Wouldn’t choose this again.

Lauri_B, Apr 2024

We had a 9 am booked, but they had to wait for additional guests who booked. They said we had to wait 15 minutes. After 15 minutes and they still didn’t show, we had to wait even longer. Finally after waiting almost 30 minutes they said we could begin without them. When we got to the most beautiful, desirable location to snorkel all the moorings were full. Had we not been delayed, we would have had the opportunity to enjoy this best part. Very disappointing. The other snorkel locations were not spectacular. It was not our tour guides fault, it was his boss on the phone who made the decisions.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience was impacted by delays. We apologize for the frustration you experienced for the delay caused by waiting for additional guests. As we work together with partner companies who also manage bookings, the timing of guest arrivals is sometimes beyond our direct control. We do our best to coordinate closely with them to minimize any delays. However, we’ve already taken steps to improve this and have been managing the process more effectively in recent times. We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope to have the opportunity to offer you a smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future.

Fun tour with great guides. They made the best of a windy day and adjusted the tour to fit the conditions. I've enjoyed all of our tours in Bonaire, but it was nice to support a locally owned business with local (life long) guides.

Awesome snorkeling trip!

Bill_K, Jan 2024

Great value!

allycross2822, Nov 2023

Jermaine is an excellent guide, driver and a gentleman! It was fantastic only having 6 people on the tour. We saw so many fish and the coral formations were amazing! The only downside was the dingy we had to use to get from shore to the boat and back. Hard to maneuver if you’re not in the best shape or agile. But Jermaine was really a delight!

Nice trip with great people

Kimberly_B, Oct 2023

We had a great time. The tour guides were wonderful. They were very helpful and patient when i struggled with getting on and off the boat . I really appreciated their patience. The snorkeling spots were nice. The views beautiful during the ride to the 3 different spots.

Perfect day!

Christie_W, Oct 2023

Jermaine was a great guide. The snorkle was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this excursion. We went to 3 different spots, all different in their experience.

Awesome day in paradise!!

Catherine_K, Jun 2023

Such a beautiful day in Bonaire!! Our boat captain and his assistant picked our party of 10 (2 families of 5) from the port terminal to make the short drive to the boat. The boat itself was a beautiful sport fish. They took us to 3 different spots to snorkel. All were beautiful - aqua blue water, many colorful fish. The snorkel gear provided was well made, clean & some of the best we have ever used. Our older children were even able to jump off the top of the boat into the deep water which they loved! On the way back, they provided snacks and drinks. It was an all around wonderful day!

Best excursion

Evan_W, Jan 2023

This was the best excursion in all the islands we visited! Germaine picked us up early from the cruise terminal (always a worry of mine) and there was only 1 other couple with us! ! Basically a private tour! 3 snorkel stops that were again the best out of all the islands we visited! Saw a turtle by little bonaire! 10/10 recommend this company! 0 time wasted waiting for the tour company to get their crap together. Amazing tour!

Great excursion.

Mark_S, Jan 2023

Excellent snorkeling! Great to go to 3 different places, and they were all interesting. The guide was wonderful and the boat was nice.

Don’t miss this

Krysta_S, Jan 2023

We had such an amazing time with The Captain and Jordy. Pick up and drop off were smooth. Beautiful snorkel locations. Small/private group. Don’t miss this tour!! Best snorkeling of my life.

Great snorkeling!

Laura_E, Jan 2023

Gorgeous water and unbelievable coral and variety of fish. Our hosts were professional and helpful and the tour out on the boat was a highlight of our trip.

The Snorkel Marathon Tour is a great excursion for experienced snorkelers.

Richard_R, Dec 2022

Sherwanda Tours gave us a wonderful excursion on our first visit to Bonaire. We had 3 snorkel stops including a 30-minute drift snorkel on Klein Bonaire which was amazing. We were lucky that only one other couple booked this tour so it was almost a private tour. Jermaine, our captain and tour guide, picked us up at the cruise ship pier on time and drove us to the dock for transfer to our excursion vessel. It was only about 5 minutes away from the pier and we could have walked if necessary. This is a great tour for experienced snorkelers.

Highly recommend

Kim_H, Nov 2022

Shore excursion booked on our own while cruising. Small group size was great. Crew was awesome. This did not disappoint in the least. Very best and professional.

Great Trip. Nothing to complain.

Sven_P, Nov 2022

Awesome Trip to three Snorkelspots. Pickup/Dropoff at the Hotel. Hit three locations with a small Yacht. Some Drinks and Snacks while shipping to next location. Friendly crew. Highly recommend.

We saw sea turtles!

Amanda_T, Nov 2022

The Captain was so nice and knowledgeable. He had a lot of information to share all day long. The water and the islands are incredible and did not disappoint.

Sherwanda Boat Adventure, an amazing experience!!!

Thomas_F, Nov 2022

If you are looking for an incredible snorkeling excursion in Bonaire, look no further! Yes you could chose one of those big name excursions companies and get packed in a boat like sardines, or you can ride in a luxury yacht, get first class treatment and have a most memorable experience in Bonaire! Geraldo picked us up (right on time) at the cruise port and drove us to the pier, where we found out he was also our boat's captain! He is very knowledgeable about not only snorkeling and diving but also about his home of Bonaire. I can not speak highly enough about what an incredible time we had. The snorkeling is amazing and the first class treatment we received just capped it off perfectly. Do yourself a favor, shop local and choose the guys at the Sherwanda Boat Adventure, you won't be disappointed!

Great excision for a cruise stop

John_T, Oct 2022

Small group of only 3 couples made snorkeling and the boat ride enjoyable. Guides didn’t rush the 3 snorkeling stops so everyone had ample time to explore. Saw many and diverse fish and even a turtle.
