Incredible! - Incredible! If you want an incredible adventure, this is the one. If you want a lazy day to relax and sit calmly, THIS IS NOT THE ONE! Our wedding group of 11 (20-60 yr olds) hiked, descended, laddered, roped, squeezed, crab walked, crawled, bonked heads, floated, sweated, swam, and dove down a few seconds ascending to another air pocket! (Only a couple of us attempted this) Then turned around and repeat! Our adventure lasted a bit over 3 hours with Craig and Krip! They were so knowledgeable and experienced which made all of us feel safe and sound while completing our arduous tasks. We visited 3 caves and the last one had an expanding cavern with a winding natural lazy river that no one could pass up. Beautiful. So glad we did it. I recommend good gripping full shoe, lots of water bottles, wear swim suits under shorts, camera with carrying case so you don’t have anything in your hands while you climb. Some flexibility because you will have a couple tight spots but only a couple. Most of us tall folks never hit the ceilings because we are used to ducking. A couple shorter people with us bonked their heads. So if you are a head bonker, wear a hat or bike helmet! The brain coral impressions and old conch molds were a great addition to the magnificent stalactites and stalagmites. Incredible creations! You gotta see it!

Loved the experience and the challenge - You will totally love this if you have a sense of Adventure, we went into three different caves and they were totally fascinating. Craig is an amazing tour guide and helps you every step of the way, but you better have the right shoes on and be in good shape to maneuver around the coral formations. The best bit is the end when you get to go to the mineral pools deep in a cave, and enjoy the solitude and darkness with a small group who are just as much in aww as you are. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Super cool tour with an experienced guide. Must see on Bonaire. - Super cool tour with Craig. Beautiful caves, good guidance and nice explanation about the background and origins of the caves on Bonaire. Craig has humor and knowledge. This morning allowed me to forget everything for a moment and be in the moment in the middle of nature. With my son we were the only ones in the caves and could enjoy the silence (and darkness). Swimming in the last cave was truly a dessert. Highly recommended if you want to do and see more of Bonaire than the beach and sea.

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! - This was my absolute favorite part of Bonaire. Yes we dove too but this experience was so unique and fun. Best part of the vacation! Our tour operator, Craig, was awesome and really made this trip amazing. He’s very patient, knowledgeable , and funny and got everyone through this safely. Our youngest was eight and the oldest in our group of six was 74. This is definitely a challenging experience and you will sweat, but it is totally worth it. I read reviews for the other companies and was impressed by how many people complemented Craig and they were right. I would totally use him if you have the opportunity. FIVE STARS!

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!
