Best of Bonaire - Darin and Tariq made our day extra special… even with all the rain. Our group of 24 friends and family took two boats to a secluded island where we snorkelled in the rain and saw many different fish and even a sea turtle The water was very warm. Once the rain stopped all the kids and some adults go to go tubing. The beers and pop were flowing and the fun level was a 10/10!!!

Fantastic cruise excursion! - This could not have been a better or easier excursion from our Carnival ship! My family, 13 y/o and 16 y/o kids showered me in compliments for this trip! Darin's boat is great and was roomy for us 4. We had plenty of snorkel time at 2 stops, beach time, and water tubing time. Drinks were cold and tasty! When we come back we are booking again!

Captain Darin is great! - Captain Darin was excellent. He has an incredible wealth of knowledge about the island and tailored our tour to what we wanted to get out of it (snorkeling!). The boat was comfortable and the refreshments were a nice touch. We highly recommend!

Amazing boat trip! - The boat trip was amazing! Darin is a great captain and company as well. On time, replies fast, and super flexible to our needs. It was a rare rainy day at Bonaire and he visibly cared for us having a good time. Clean boat, ice cold beers - highly recommend!

Amazing private tour to experience Bonaire - Best excursion of our entire ABC islands port stops!!! Captain Darin was super knowledgeable, friendly and overall provided a very memorable experience for our family of 7, which ranged in age from 6 to 67. The kids loved snorkeling stops, tubing and no name beach was the best! I loved that the tour was only our family onboard. Highly, highly recommend this tour and the island of Bonaire!

100% would do again - The boat ride was incredible. The whole family snorkeled , walked the beach and got some water sports in. Tubing, Kneeboard , he had it all ready to go. Snorkeling was incredible and had "pool noodles" to give the weaker swimmers an awesome snorkeling experience. His on board guide skills were spectacular and knowledge was awesome. The cruise back through the marina and coastline was perfect end to an awesome day !!

Best value in Bonaire - We are fortunate to find captain Darin with Salty Tours. Darin is a local - very professional with a warm smile. The meeting place is close to cruise terminal and easy to find. We visited a couple places and had a great time swimming, snorkeling and tubing. Darin even helped non swimmers to reach the island. There are plenty of cold beer & drinks for 8 of us. In the end, he offered to drop us to the same dock of cruise ship. All of us recommend the tour 100%.
