Unique Adventure - If I could have Craig as our tour guide for all things adventure I sure would! This was an amazing experience for our family! We have a 16 and 13 year old, and they both said this was their favorite part of the entire trip! Wow! These caves are absolutely amazing, and since you may never experienced snorkeling underground don’t pass this up. Craig will keep you safe, informed, and excited throughout the entire trip. You will climb, you will crawl, and you will sweat so be ready!

SO AMAZING!!!! A must if you visit Bonaire - Our tour guide Craig was AMAZING! He was informative and funny and really made the experience enjoyable. My friend and I came Bonaire to dive and even though the reefs were awesome we both agree the highlight of our trip was the caves! I have a fear of heights and my friend has a fear of caves but Craig made us feel safe and the caves we so beautiful that we were able to concern these fears. If you come to Bonaire you NEED to do this tour!

Amazing Cave Exploration - Our day started with Craig picking us up where we were staying. Right away we all felt comfortable and in safe hands. The caves were stunning and our guide, Craig, was knowledgeable, interesting, patient, helpful and a super sense of humor. You will have an amazing time. It’s a must try. Nothing to be afraid of, Craig guides you all the way.

Amazing cave adventure - The whole experience is amazing, definitely not a tourist trap, a truly authentic cave adventure. Tour guide Craig is AMAZING!!! Three caves and the last one requires you to swim. Definitely have to be flexible and able to climb, crawl, and walk on rocky coral ground. One of my fav experiences on the island.

Take this tour, you ain’t never seen a cave like this!!! - If you are unsure about this tour, just do it. It was a relatively low cost experience that was way cooler than expected. Additionally, like an idiot I got my days confused and thought I booked my tour on Thursday when it was actually booked for Wednesday. We were diving on Wednesday so didn’t get back to my phone all day only to find several missed texts and emails from the company trying to locate me for the tour. I felt SO BAD and absolutely would have understood if I was basically out of luck there. Instead I learned that Craig was actually very concerned about what happened to us and why we didn’t show up for the tour. He even left a message with the front desk and they called our room all day trying to be sure that everything was okay. While this was super nice it also made me feel even more terrible that I had made that mistake. In any case, Craig was generous enough to offer to do the tour with us the following day and even came to pick us up at the hotel for a second time. Thankfully he was happy to do so and we had a great time and even learned some stuff. I thought this would be basically a cenote tour and I was WAY wrong, this was so much different. (To be fair, I’m wrong a lot and I feel like booking on the wrong day is absolutely evidence of that!) Not only was it a cave, but there is a system of caves below the island formed by volcanos. The stalagtites and stalagmites have been submerged in the past and you see fossils and impressions of the coral and other sea creatures on what was once a reef. So it’s almost like being underwater! This is also an adventure tour with a good mix of geology knowledge, climbing and swimming. The water below was so clear I couldn’t even see it at first. I would have walked right into it had I not been told it was there. That wouldn’t have been my first clumsy fumble that day either, I’m short so I don’t watch my head. That’s only for tall people. (In this tour, no it’s not LOL — You will need to duck and crab walk and get bendy but it’s all worth it!) These caves are warm, unlike what I’ve experienced with previous caves, but the water is cool and refreshing. If you bring your mask and snorkel and take a look underneath you find MORE CAVE!!! That’s right, it’s double your cave experience because the cave goes on and on below and to the ocean. So looking around underwater was just as interesting as what was above the water!!! You could see different passages and formations because you are in a tiny portion of the entire cave. I had no idea how that island was formed but it was really fascinating. Craig was also awesome and very knowledgeable about the island, the local wildlife and even gave us some diving tips. He was patient and easy going and just seemed like a really cool person. This tour was absolutely worth the effort and I’d say a must do if you are in Bonaire!!!

Don't miss this tour! It is unforgettable. - I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Craig was a well-informed, friendly and safety- oriented guide who selected 3 caves that were easy to maneuver in and beautiful examples of the geology. The tour was punctuated by a visit to the bat maternity ward and an incredible swim in an underground fresh water pool. We were awestruck and felt safe the entire time. Not the usual Bonaire adventure, but one not to be missed.
