This was our third trip to Bonaire and our fourth snorkeling excursion aboard the Woodwinds, a sail catamaran typically carrying 20-25 people to prime snorkeling destinations. Snorkeling around Klein Bonaire was like being inside an aquarium with an abundance of fish and turtles. The Woodwinds staff were extremely competent and very knowledgeable guides. The amenities included a very nice hot... More

Klein Bonaire offered peaceful snorkeling, quiet beaches, and natural landscapes. With no development on the little (klein) island off Bonaire, it was a day trip that was all about getting in touch with nature.

Some of our boat dives were to the outer edge of Klein Bonaire and they were quite fantastic. Lots of fish, lots of soft & hard coral.

We had heard about it by other snorkeler/divers, but the true experience is beyond expectations, really. We got there on this unique boat, actually a yacht, actually a Siamese junk, called "Samur Sail". It apparently has a long story of a former long voyage to tell, while it is cutting the winds and the waves in order to take you... More

We did all our boat dives to Klein Bonaire. Visibility was generally good. I would recommend going to any of the sites....they were beautiful!

Diving was good, but why get on a boat. You can do it from the shore of the big island and not have to bother with the people booking boat trips.

several of the days we were here conditions were to rough to dive on klen, so we stayed on the main island, but when we finally made it over to Klein the diving was even better. Lots to see. A better variety of fish. It's worth it to pay for some boat dives while you're in Bonaire.

Visited in January 2013. After visiting many sites around the island we found this the best snorkel site. The beach is beautiful. The ocean is an extraordinary turquoise color which begs one to enter. Was the only place in Bonaire we saw sea turtles. If you can only snorkel one place in Bonaire pick Klein Bonaire.
