Best tour! - Do not hesitate to book a trip with Salty Tours. We had the BEST day with Captain Darin. My husband, parents and I booked a 4 hour tour. We were able to snorkel at multiple locations (by far the most incredible snorkeling I’ve ever experienced), visit Klein Bonaire, tube, wakeboard and tour some of the island. Captain Darin is professional, fun, knowledgeable and accommodating to any need. Thank you for a great day and for sharing your beautiful home with us! We’ll definitely be back. 🤙🏼

History of a tropical paradise! - Captain Darin was extremely patient and kind. We were just interested in a laid back tour of the island and its history. Our ages varied from 60-88 years old. Only one of us snorkeled. Darin was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him!

Excellent trip - We had a great time at the boat! Darin is a very nice guy who knows a lot about the island. And good music too! Our kids had a super time on the tube behind the boat. We highly recommend!😄

So worth it! 🤿🌊🌴 - We are so thankful we booked this tour! If you are considering it, trust me, it’s so worth it! The Captain, Darin, checked ALL the boxes! He was easy going, very knowledgeable and willing to share about the Island of Bonaire. He made us feel safe and comfortable with all of the aspects of the tour. I feel so lucky that this tour was available! We went in the afternoon and it was gorgeous!

Do this tour - you will have a blast! - My friends and I had a blast - it was our favorite tour the whole cruise! Captain Darin was amazing - he showed us the beautiful island while we played our music. He made sure that we did what we thought was fun and was very tolerant of our bad singing. He made sure that we were hydrated and safe. We went to a great snorkeling site, and he gave us time to enjoy exploring beautiful Klein Bonaire.

Great Trip with Darin - Darin was a great and informative captain. We enjoyed his company. I would suggest that juice or soft drinks be allowed as a substitute for the beer.
Our only issue was not with Darin. We thought we were getting an hour more than we did. After our return, I researched it and found that there was conflicting info on the Viator site.

Nice Outing - Great Captain. Would have liked some soft drinks instead of beer as we are not drinkers. Water was provided. Best part was the tube ride. But it was too short. We thought we were getting one more hour than we did. After our return, I found that there were Two descriptions on Viator which conflicted each other about the length of the charter. This is why it's a four star instead of a five star.
