Great family day in Bonaire - Our family visited Bonaire in May 2025. We had the great fortune of finding Captain Darin and Salty Tours Bonaire. Captain Darin took great care of our family included two small children 1.5 and 3.5 years old. The boat is well maintained and we felt very safe. The boat had a top that provided cover from the sun. We were able to snorkel in two different areas and we were also able to hangout on a nice beach. Salty Tours also provided beverages. The tour was great highlight to our trip.

Private Snorkeling Trip with Capt Darin - Our family of 6 had a great private snorkeling trip with Capt Darin on Good Friday! He took us to multiple different snorkeling spots based off on our feedbacks on what we wanted to see. The final drift snorkeling was pretty awesome even for our family who has been snorkeling at many Caribbean islands/sites. Another highlight for our trip was the fun tubing experience. We all had a blast. One more thing that for us was very important: Capt Darin has very good vibe and personality. He gained our trust instantly and made we felt safe the whole time. Capt Darin - I still owe you the drone footage of our trip. Thanks again for a memorable time!

A perfect boat day with Captain Darin! - A perfect day with Captain Darin - incredible snorkeling along No Name Beach and Klein Bonaire then some along the mainland. Tons of great tropical fish biodiversity and beautiful coral reefs followed by an hour of getting towed on the inflatable (teenagers choice) or you could just do other dive sites. Clean and pristine boat and stocked with plenty of sodas water beer and ice. The snorkeling/diving is world class. I’ve only ever seen similar quality in Turks and Caicos. It was a beautiful day and and experience that we’ll never forget thanks to Captain Darin and Salty tours. Book now because they will be booked well in advance!

Best excursion ever! - This was the best excursion ever! I was nervous about booking an excursion that wasn’t through the cruise line, but this process could not have been easier. We had a party of 7 with the whole boat to ourselves. Darrin was an excellent boat captain and tour guide! The snorkeling was amazing, we got to see two sea turtles, the kids (and adults) were so excited. I 100% recommend this tour! If I ever go back to Bonaire I will rebook! Thanks Darrin!

BEST tour and guide of Bonaire by water! - Our family of 10, ranging in age from 10 to 60, had an absolutely amazing time on Capt. Tariq's 3-hour boat tour of Bonaire! With a wide variety of interests and skills, everyone found something to enjoy. The kids had a blast jumping off the boat and getting pulled on the tube, while many of us were able to snorkel in the stunning reefs. The 'chill island' at the back of the boat was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. It was incredibly convenient, too—since we were on a Royal Caribbean cruise, the boat was just a 3-minute walk from the dock. This also gives awesome photo ops and views of your ship as you head out on your tour. Capt. Tariq made everything so easy, and the cold beer and water provided were a great touch. This tour was hands down the highlight of our trip, and for the value, it truly can't be beat! We will do this again when we return to Bonaire as young and old are still talking about it!

Bonaire boating & tubing - Darin was wonderful. He took us to a great snorkeling spot on Klein Bonaire and then he drove my sons around tubing behind the boat. It was quite the adventure. He was very accommodating, provided gear and very knowledgeable.
