Klein Bonaire is a beautiful place for snorkeling and an afternoon of relaxing. The water taxi usually drops you off for four hours, (9:30-1:30 or 1:30-5:30) for $15.00 a person round trip. Make sure you bring tons of water, sunscreen,food, and maybe a hat for shade! There is not a lot of shade offered. Very beautiful water that is crystal... More

Great way to see a bit of life out in the sea though it can be choppy. I don't really recommend for snorkelers because of the chop though divers saw alll kinds of great stuff out there. More

It's fantastic for swimming and snorkeling is also good. Fish tend to approach you as they had been fed before. You can see the drop off very quickly which is cool. There is pretty much no shade at all so if you have sensitive skin make sure to bring your own umbrella or whatever to protect yourself. More

We visited on a cruise ship and paid $15 round trip per person. We took the motor boat which took only 10 min. to get there. It was a windy day, but the water was clear and I did not have any problem with the waves. You can book the trip as you get off the cruise ship on the... More

Truly a beautiful place to go. I was there with a couple of friends and we walked down the beach a bit from where we arrived (ferry service from the main island) and we got a huge swath of beach for ourselves beautiful pristine waters which proved to be great for snorkeling and walked inland a bit and there was...

We did a night boat dive and it was exactly what we would have seen on the main island. Nothing different. I would have rather just dove off the island in half the time without the group and DM. More

This is the place for snorkeling and solitude on non cruise ship days. Take a water taxi, pack a lunch and enjoy. More

Had a day in Bonaire on a recent cruise....decided to visit Klein Bonaire and were not disappointed...The weather turned a bit in the afternoon and the water was quite choppy, but still amazing. There are rocks painted with numbers along the beach showing where to enter the water ( there is a split in the coral there ) so make... More
