You step off Kralendijk's dock into a stiff trade-wind morning and the water takes the day’s light, throwing it back as clean turquoise. A compact charter carries a small group southward; within minutes the shoreline is a line of salt pans and low volcanic rock, and the captain is pointing to a shallow shelf where coral gardens hold their breath.

Reserve your spot on the Double Dip Snorkel Trip today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Buy your Stinapa Tag in advance
The Bonaire National Marine Park fee (Stinapa tag) is required and can be purchased at local dive shops or online—bring proof on board.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen before boarding to protect coral; reapply with a towel to avoid direct runoff.
Morning departures are calmer
Book an early slot for flatter water and better visibility—wind and afternoon chop can reduce sightlines.
Bring a light waterproof layer
A thin rashguard or windshirt helps on the boat and provides extra sun protection when snorkeling.
Swimsuit and quick‑dry shirt
Comfortable swimwear and a rashguard keep you warm and protect from sun and abrasions.
