Board a luxury catamaran from Harbor Village for a 5-hour evening that pairs two reef snorkel stops with a buffet dinner and sunset sailing. Ideal for swimmers of basic ability, the tour highlights Bonaire’s protected reefs and relaxed coastal culture.

The catamaran slips away from Harbor Village as late afternoon softens into a caramel sky. Passengers trade the harbor’s concrete edges for teak railings; the ocean opens and the boat finds a steady pulse. A warm trade wind teases the sails, the hull hums, and the first snorkel stop is announced—an invitation to meet the reef while daylight still holds.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Bonaire’s marine park bans harmful sunscreens; choose mineral-based SPF to protect coral and your skin.
Arrive early to park and board
There’s ample parking opposite Harbor Village marina, but arriving 20–30 minutes early smooths boarding and gear-fitting.

If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding—late-afternoon swells can pick up and spoil the view.
Leave electronics in waterproof cases
Salt spray and snorkeling both threaten phones and cameras; use waterproof housings or leave devices secured onboard.

Light windbreaker or fleece
Thin layer keeps you comfortable once the sun dips and the breeze strengthens.

Protects feet boarding and while navigating rocky entry points at snorkel stops.
Waterproof camera or GoPro
