Night snorkeling 🤿 - At first I was a little bit scared of the idea of snorkeling in the dark, but in reality it wasn’t that bad as I thought!
It was an interesting experience; we saw tarpons who swam with and around us all the time and other beautiful creatures. 🤿
He also showed us another fluorescent secret of night diving but I won’t say much more about that, you can discover it by yourself with Jim! 🫣

Amazing & unique experience, would recommend! - We went night snorkeling with Jim and It was amazing, the nightlife of the sea is totally different then daytime. We saw tarpons as big as my girlfriend (1m57) ;), with your lights you can see them hunt, we also saw lots of eel fish (also hunting) & a lot off lobsters and many other things, Jim explained everything we saw and was very patience in the beginning to make sure everything & everybody was okay, we did the tour with as a couple.
Would definitely recommend this experience.

Unieke ervaring die wij niet zouden willen missen - In het donker gesnorkeld. Wat een prachtige ervaring. Hierbij zie je een compleet andere onderwaterwereld dan overdag. Met je zaklamp speur je de zee en bodem af, op zoek naar nieuwe dingen om te zien.
Terwijl wij dit deden werden we constant omcirkeld door twee tarpons. Wij lieten ons vertellen dat de tarpons gebruik maken van onze zaklampen. Zodra zij andere vissen in het licht zien van vallen ze deze aan en eten ze die op. Erg indrukwekkend om te zien!
De uitleg voor en tijdens de tocht was duidelijk en we kregen alle ruimte om te vragen wat we wilden.
Wij raden zeker aan om deze activiteit te gaan doen!

Don't miss out on this experience!! - We really enjoyed our night dive with Amazing Bonaire. You'll be guided by someone who really knows his stuff and wants you to have a good time. Going in with only a few people makes for a great experience because you're able to follow him closely and see every little (and big) creature before it goes into hiding again. It was also really easy since the dive takes place in calmer water and they provide you with everything you need. We strongly recommend anyone to go on a trip with Amazing Bonaire, its well worth it!

Night snorkeling with Jim's Amazing Bonaire is AMAZING! - This is an experience of a life time. When visiting aquariums in the past I wanted to get in the tank with the fish. Most snorkeling is about chasing fish. This was being with the fish. Jim is an excellent guide, and a really nice guy.
He gave us a very clear briefing before we went in the water, just N of city center.
We were joined by a dozen Tarpon within the first 10 minutes and they stayed with us the whole. Their siza ranged from 2 to 4 feet long.The water was about 6 to 10 feet deep, and they swam under and around you.
Jim pointed out eels and lobsters in the rocks along the way.
This tour is about the fish, not the Coral reef.
Tks Jim for a wonderful experience!!

Must do activity - Swimming alongside these massive fish was incredible. Especially as they hunt for food at night. Amazing experience.

Great experience seeing the Tarpon, Lobsters, Eels, and lots of other night active sea life! - We had previously done a few day snorkel trips but never a night snorkel… what a great experience with Jim on the night snorkel to see Tarpon and lots of other night active sea life!
My son and I had a great time and will definitely do this again! Great trip for people who are comfortable snorkeling and want to see something different.

Definitely try night snorkeling, great experience - This is a great excursion. If you have never night snorkeled, it is very with trying it. You get to see up close more nocturnal animals including lobsters (some huge), eels, and of course Tarpon. You'll also see lots of fish, and sometimes rays. It is a different kind of experience snorkeling in the dark with a flashlight, yet it felt very peaceful at the same time exhilarating.
You are provided an underwater flashlight and snorkel from shore along the coastal reef structures. Jim, our guide and host, was awesome. Very knowledgeable of Bonaire sea life and provided us with the necessary equipment, including shorty wetsuits which are nice for warmth and additional protection. Highly recommend this excursion.
