We have been to Bonaire 6 times since 1992 to scuba dive. We have some friends who are going to be on Bonaire for a day on a cruise ship. They like to do their own thing versus booking a tour through the cruise ship so wanted some advice on what to do. They do want to snorkel.

Terry, it really depends on how long they are going to be there. Short time, snorkel the Divi and hit town, longer time maybe the Plaza the south end has excellent snorkeling, longer time book a trip on the Woodwind with Dee and if a full day rent a car and do all the above.

Terry, I would not have them go to windsock. Dive Friends has a contract with the cruise lines, and they take ALL the snorkelers there. They pitch a tent, have snorkel vests all lined up, and there are a LOT of people snorkeling.

Personally I would try to arrange a two-stop snorkel with Renee. My last visit on a cruise ship I did just that and I have no regrets. Renee will provide transportation to and from and I believe that she has snorkel equipment if you need it. She also knows where the critters live and can show you a lot more in a couple of hours then you will ever find on your own.

If Renee is not available, the Woodwind would be an Excellent choice. Your friends should contact Dee or Ulf well beforehand; although, my guess is that they are already sold out.

And please remind your friends to pay the Marine Park fee. They can do that wherever they rent equipment, or on the water taxi or with any dive shop or tour company.
