Take this excursion!!!! - I can’t be more enthusiastic to recommend this snorkeling tour! The Lady Bellaïs is a beautiful Brazilian schooner with every amenity to make your excursion absolutely amazing. One of often over looked amenities is the shade provided from the hot sun. We passed several other snorkel tours on the water and most of their customers looked miserably hot with no shade in sight. I ALMOST felt bad as we passed by sitting comfortably in the shade drinking my complimentary ice cold beer from our open bar and listening to our DJ. ALMOST! Senna our guide/bartender/DJ/life guard and resident jack-of-all-trades was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and entertaining. Providing us with interesting local facts and landmarks. All the while, mixing some great drinks at the open bar. Our snorkeling spot was beautiful! We parked right off the reef, that had a huge amount of fish. We even were able to see an Eagle Ray lazily swim by us. An hour of snorkeling went by in a flash. I only wish we could have stayed out the entire day. Captain Nino and Perrina, the dynamic duo are the perfect pair! Captain Nino is more the strong silent type but really opens up and is engaging when you talk to him. Perrina the resident chef, made a brilliant local chicken lunch with rice and a homemade coleslaw. It doesn’t matter if you’re eight or eighty, you are going to LOVE this excursion! My 83 year old mother and 16 year old exchange students had an equally amazing time! This excursion is unanimously our family’s favorite memory from our entire Aruba/Bonaire/Curacao trip. I would book this excursion again without hesitation, even if it was twice the price!

Must do! - This activity is a blast, and well worth every penny. The crew is fun and helpful. The ship is clean and not over crowded. The drinks were excellent. Lunch was delicious. Crew treated us like they were so thankful that we chose them. We really felt valued. Best of all, some of the best snorkeling I've ever seen.

Worthwhile and fun experience - The whole experience was fun. Crew were friendly and made sure we had a good time. Plenty of drinks to choose from and lunch was tasty. Enjoyed the snorkelling and rope swing. Was a nice touch taking us to see our ship and to get close to Klein Bonaire
