For anyone visiting Bonaire, regardless of whether they are a diver, snorkeller or indeed a non-swimmer, this should be one of your first excursions. The reefs around Klein Bonaire are better than most around Bonaire itself, as is the water clarity and on top of that you get a fully-catered tour with an incredibly knowledgeable and attentive team. Originally we... More

No matter the level of expertise in swimming, snorkeling, or diving for any visitor to Bonaire, one of the "must do" activities is to take a guided snorkeling/sailing trip on the Woodwind. Although Bonaire's waters are normally calm and tranquil, this trimaran offers stability and comfort and the hours will just fly. I recommend the five hour trip, if you... More

A huge thankyou to Dee and her crew. As other reviewers have also mentioned, we have taken many snorkelling trips all over the world but this tops them all. I pre booked this with Ulf by e-mail who responded super speedy to my request. From meeting Dee and Ulf at the Cruise port we and the other guests were treated... More

These guys are fantastic. We've been on a number of snorkeling excursions and have always had a good experience, but the Woodwind team goes way above anything we've seen before. They are wonderful guides, for experienced snorkelers, pointing out things in the water and providing really interesting information. We had quite a few beginners (including someone in a wheelchair and... More

My husband and I have snorkeled both with guides and independently. We booked Woodwind Snorkel based on a friends recommendation. We can't say enough about our experience. Both Dee and her husband Ulf made us feel as family. They are very active in supporting Sea Turtle Conservation and the environment to keep their reefs pristine. They are able to accomodate... More

Dee and her crew of the Woodwind are outstanding! Our 5 hour trip ended up being 6 hours because the Woodwind stopped to assist a person in a small sunfish whose mast had snapped. What's to complain about getting extra time out on the ocean with extremely knowledgeable guides who gave us extra presentation, question and answer time during the... More

My husband and I have snorkelled quite a bit while on different cruises. I have snorkelled from the beach in Bonaire. This cruise we decided to book a private cruise and heard about Woodwinds on Cruise Critic. I tried booking for the early afternoon trip but they were full. I am always worried about getting back to the ship on... More

We were in Bonaire on 12/19 on the Caribbean Princess and booked this trip on our own based on the Trip Advisor reviews we had read. Ulf was great to communicate with during the process and was at the designated spot when we arrived. Just a short walk from the pier to the boat. Dee and her crew spent the... More

Great value for the price. Drinks and snacks and 3 snorkel sights. Lots of information provided about the sites and what will be seen (maybe), coaching for beginners of any age, excellent equipment if you do not have your own and a meal on the way back. Very stable boat, a lot of assistance for all and a fabulous and... More
