Klein Bonaire

Do you have to get an excursion to go to Klein Bonaire? Or can we just get off our ship and take the water taxi over on our own?

Thanks!

We were just there and there is the water taxi company right at the pier ....20 each and that gets you out to the island and back ..great deal

Love Klein Bonaire. We purchased quality snorkeling gear 20 plus years ago and still enjoy using our own stuff.

We also bring pool noodle and rash guard t shirts for snorkeling.

Walking to left facing Klein you float back to beach area.

Some of the best snorkeling ever.

Last trip my wife Snorkeled 3 Times at Klein Bonaire.

Sea turtles. Etc.

Complete with walking directions to water taxi tickets and ferry dock.

Sea Cow Snorkeling - Outstanding Excursion

Two stop snorkeling excursion to Klein Bonaire. Booked thru cruise line. Everything was as described and they really have their act together. They had all eqpt, plenty of staff to handle the numbers efficiently, knew what they were doing and did it with safety in mind. You could be a new or experienced snorkeler and been very satisfied with the plentiful & varied fish, and maybe a sea turtle as we saw. They made sure to care for the coral/reef, too. I highly recommend Sea Cow if you want to snorkel at one of the best places there is to snorkel anywhere.

Just returned from Bonaire. Took water taxi as you exit the ship turn part to find vendors selling tickets. We paid $20 roundtrip. (Good return Bonaire water taxi is now bankrupt ). Very easy as they drop you off at Klein Bonaire. Leave your belongings on beach near scrub bushes and walk right as you face the water. We wore water shoes as it does become coral on the beach. No need for fins as you drift back with current. We did wear our snorkeling vests, always feel safer with them. As you walk you will see a sigh with a smiley face, this is where you enter. A split in the coral reef. Amazing variety of fish,coral and sponges. We did it twice plus enjoyed time to rest and relax on beach. Few other boats arrived, one looked like a brown pirate ship. It was great and no need for a tour. Bring your own snorkeling equipment. No facilities on shore.
