The turquoise water is incredible! - This was a super fun excursion in Bonaire. The staff included the Captain, his wife, and the guide, Sonna (maybe not spelled correctly). The boat was spacious enough for well more than the 20 on our trip. They gave a brief background about the island and surrounding area on our way to the snorkel location. Everyone was provided snorkel, mask, fins, and a safety vest. We got to snorkel for about an hour, and then we took turns on the rope swing off the boat into the water. The snorkel area was beautiful with lots of colorful fish and coral. Our guide stayed in the water the whole time for safety if necessary, and everyone was accommodating to help anyone that needed assistance trying to get in/out of the water. After snorkeling, we had a home-cooked meal of chicken and rice while we sailed around a nearby island. I think I saw the most turquoise colored water of my life. There was dancing along with an open bar as we made our way back to the marina.

Best part of my cruise - Highlight of my cruise! My group of 4 couples (2 of which literally booked the day before with no problems whatsoever) Boarded the clean and beautiful schooner to a smiling and happy crew. Set sail on a smooth and relaxed ride past the ship while learning about the island. We turn around and head to the snorkel spot. Directions were clear and equipment was clean. The snorkel spot was absolutely amazing! So many different kinds of beautiful fish and coral. Then we got to experience the rope swing and I loved it! Lunch was fabulous. After lunch we casually sailed back to some dance music. The bar drinks were delicious as well. Booking my next cruise to come back to bonaire and sail with lady bellaïs!

Excellent fun and relaxing - This is an excellent excursion if you are looking for something fun and affordable to do in Bonaire. This family owned business treats you like their own and provided top tier service. The crusing tour of the island was relaxing and very educative on the history of the island. The snorkeling was some of the best we've done in the carribean. The food was freshly prepared by the captains wife and was delicious. Highly recommend!!!
