Default Klein Bonaire by Water Taxi

Anybody ever go over to Klein Bonaire on your own? How much does it cost and is it worth going if we are only in port until 2 pm meaning we have to be back on board by 1:30? How long does it take to get there? How often does the taxies come back?

Thanks

If you look at the map in my link .... 98% of the snorkeling is on the south side of Klein(see blue icon with mask and snorkel symbol)...yet the cruise ships water taxi takes us to "no name beach" on the north side. I'm looking for a way to get to the South side of Klein?

markstudy... I will be very interested in what you find out. We want to do Klein Bonaire when we are on the Ruby in April. Please report when you get back on what you do. Thanks.

I'm not having any luck so far.

I need to find a private boat, captain or something. Sure would like to get to the advanced side of Klein... instead of the sandy side. I want to see a lot of coral.
