The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Bonaire enforces reef protection; choose mineral SPF to protect coral and avoid fines.
Hydrate and pace alcohol
Snorkeling and sun exposure dehydrate quickly—drink water between alcoholic beverages and before returning to shore.
Fit your snorkel gear before leaving dock
Ensure masks and fins fit while still on board so staff can help with adjustments and prevent wasted time at reef stops.
Check wind and sea conditions
Book morning slots for calmer seas and better visibility; operators may cancel if conditions become unsafe.
