Amazing Bonaire Mangrove Tour with Tijmen - We had a fantastic experience visiting the mangroves on Bonaire, thanks to our excellent guide, Tijmen. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion for nature made the tour both fun and informative. The mangroves were beautiful, and Tijmen’s explanations really brought the ecosystem to life. Highly recommended!

Mangroves at night: Bonaire's hidden gem! - What an unexpected highlight of the holiday this was! Initially took the night tour, which was a really unique adventure. You don't often get the chance to be immersed in such an impressive environment at night time, guided by only flashlights and the light from the moon. While paddling through the (sometimes really narrow!) tunnels of the mangroves, our knowledgeable (and funny!) tour guide Tijmen shared many fascinating stories about the area and it's fauna. It's quite a thrill to paddle in the near dark in what sometimes appears to be a labyrinth, but Tijmen's relaxed and empathic approach made the group feel comfortable throughout the tour. We were so impressed by the whole adventure that we returned two days later to see what life inside the mangroves was like at (early) daytime. This turned out to be an entirely different experience, with an abundance of colors and the chance to view underwaterlife in the mangroves from up close while snorkeling. It's amazing. Next to loads of (flying!) fish, we spotted multiple turtles in the lagoons as well. What majestic creatures they are! If I were to advise one experience next to snorkeling or diving, it would be to get in a kayak with the wonderful people of the Mangrove Center.

Great, definitely worth it - It was a great trip. For us the 2nd time but I can recommend everyone to go here during a visit to Bonaire. The explanation of the mangrove, the canoe and the snorkeling between the nursery is a unique experience!

Beautiful experience in the most beautiful part of Bonaire - What a beautiful experience and our guide (from Amstelveen, I forgot his name🫣) was enthusiastic and could tell well. He had humor but certainly serious. We were given plenty of time to see and experience everything.
