      Truly Epic
      The cruise was fantastic! Incredible staff, food, drinks and views. They office staff also went above and beyond for us. We arrived late and missed the boat, so they organized a small boat to take us out to meet the catamaran. Overall, it was an amazing time. I would highly recommend!

      Perfect way to turn 40! 💙
      Where do I start? From the moment we stepped onto the deck the crew was super helpful with getting our gear on board for the diving part. We set sail, got settled and met the Captain (Michu or Michael)...along with his one crew member (Randy) and our dive guide for the day Tommy Pera. Everyone was so kind, and welcoming. They helped us get our gear on and off we went on dive 1. We came back after an incredible dive and had incredible sandwhiches and wraps waiting for us with drinks (nonalcoholic) because we had one more dive. After a nice sail and letting the food settle, we hit dive spot #2 off Klein. We saw a seahorse!!! It was beautiful and just an epic moment. This excursion was booked for my 40th birthday and it was more than I could have asked. Once back from dive two, we popped some bottles, had the music on and enjoyed a variety of amazing foods that were delicious and plentiful! Took the sunset sail until just past dark and ended the day with perfect dessert. I am so greatful to the crew/captain/dive guide for their kindness and impeccable service. Thank you all, my husband and I will for sure be back! 💙 I can not say enough how wonderful this day was, we started at 11am and returned back to the dock around 8pm-ish and I could have stayed another year!

      We booked a sunset cruise with our whole family and had the boat to ourselves. Maaike and Charlotte were perfect hosts, the drinks and food were Epic. Last but not least the sunset was perfect!

      Must do!
      The Epic catamaran tour is a must do when visiting Bonaire! The crew is very fun, knowledgeable, and great to be around. They make you feel and home and want you to have the best experience they have to offer. Shout outs to Micheal (captain), Randy (deck hand), and Tommy (buddy dive/MD). Thank you guys! Bryce F. (U.S.)

      Clear blue waters, wind-filled sails and a beautiful sunset
      Very relaxing and enjoyable Chill & Grill catamaran tour of Klein Bonaire and Bonaire itself. The crew of Rob, Charlotte and Mees did a fantastic job of keeping us informed of what to expect during the cruise, rules/procedures to follow. The entire crew was very attentive; making sure our glasses never stayed empty too long and that we were well fed. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have a nice leisurely afternoon/evening tour of the highlights of Bonaire, as well as one of the best sunset views available.

      Very nice experience with Randy, Renske & Maaike of Epic tours! A lovely boat tour with very tasteful food. As the name suggests the food, the people and the tour was Epic! I would recommend this 10/10 when on Bonaire!

      Great food and experience! The crew was accommodating, and the food was delicious! We saw so many fish, a turtle, and a ray while snorkeling. If you're looking for a relaxing afternoon with a beautiful sunset view, this is your cruise!

      Spoil Yourself.
      Very chilled and relaxed day. Lovely crew,Charlotte, who ensured we were really well looked after. The food and drink were of a high standard and the snorkelling was great. Some lovely views of the island and a great way to spend an afternoon. We ended it with a glass of Prosecco watching the sunset before heading back .

      AWESOME Time. Book this for sure!!!
      Had an awesome time with Epic. I dove, my wife snorkeled and they did not disappoint. From the beginning the crew were extremely accommodating to the guests. Plenty of drinks for everyone and they were good and cold. Divers obviously saved the alcohol until we were done diving. First Dive was at Klein Bonaire and the second was back at Bonaire at Small Wall. Both very relaxing dives. Being a new diver it was great for me and since its off season we only had 3 divers and 3 snorkelers so it was perfect. Lunch between dives was great and plentiful. After the dives we anchored off of Bonaire and had a load of drinks and an awesome dinner. Ribeye and Filet, Sushimi, Pasta Salad, greens salad, and Cheesecake. It was so much food and it was all quality. Normally you would expect just so so food on a trip like this but not the case here. I am from Texas and the owner (don't want to destroy his name) knows how to grill steak! I was quite impressed. There was also a fish option for another one of the couples but I don't recall what it was. They ate it up and said it was great. Crew was very engaging and funny to converse with. Highly recommend this tour and I plan on coming next year to do it again!

      Lots Packed into one Afternoon Sail
      Fantastic was to spend the day. We enjoyed two really good snorkeling sights with the option of a guided or an individual snorkel. Make sure you go hungry because you are served a huge multi course mean on board before sailing along the coast at sunset and returning after dark. Alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks are included. We all had a great time and we highly recommend this activity. Cheers to our all women crew!

    What a great day! We had a fantastic time is be this excursion.
    - staff was friendly
    -they communicated well (we didn’t have a working toilet and they told us before we left and made sure we knew which was helpful.)
    - served drinks. They had a great selection of drinks. My only suggestion would be to have a fruit juice option for adults who don’t drink alcohol (but not a big deal, we are use to this)
    - the first stop was just the incredible. Fish everywhere. They did a guided snorkel for those who wanted. They told us what to avoid (fire coral) and where to swim to see the most fish and stay safe.
    - the BBQ was really good. They gave everyone a chicken, beef and shrimp skewer with amazing garlic toast and a pasta salad.
    - we had time so we went to a second location. It was great, not as good as the first but still amazing.
    - the catamaran was one of the nicest we have been on, sun beds to lay in. A table to eat at, nice benches. Grill. Very nice.
    -two places to exit the boat so it never got crowded or congested.
    - our group was less than 15 which was wonderful. I hate the crowded ship excursions.
    - stayed away from other big groups so the water never felt crowded.

    The only tip I would give is to look up the location of their office building (where you check in) BEFORE you leave home. Print directions from the ship terminal and the map. We just assumed our phones would help us if we had a hard time, but even with international service none of the maps apps would open. We had to ask lots of locals. When you walk off the ship go to your left and follow that road that runs next to the ocean and you’ll be fine. We went a little more in town and were confused. Hopefully that helps someone. But the directionally challenged piece is on us, not the company. They were just so great. We hope to be back in the future. Definitely a must do excursion for anyone who loves snorkeling.

    Really couldn't fault it. Top quality experience, excellent brunch, friendly helpful staff. Cost 50% more than the Sea Cow boat taking bigger groups snorkelling at klein bonaire ($105v $70), but really worth it - something special to remember.

    You don't expect it: it is already a gift on such a catamaran, in such a beautiful place, but then there is also delicious food and unlimited delicious drinks! "No" is not for sale and Captain Cara wanted to clear the clouds away to show us an even more beautiful sunset. Both ladies worked hard to spoil us and they succeeded. This is how I want to celebrate my birthday every year ;-)

    Yesterday, September 28, I had the opportunity to take a trip with my family/friends (6 people), captain Cara and hostess Heidi. Steps to the 1000 steps for snorkeling, the captain had to make every effort to stay ahead of the competition for our construction spot and that worked out perfectly. In the meantime, I was able to enjoy the necessary Polar's and the ladies' cava. The whole day was a party of beautiful views, snorkeling, good music, singing along, eating and drinking: in short, a perfect day, ending with a beautiful sunset, definitely worth repeating and therefore highly recommended.

    Oh yeah …. and don't forget to mention the very nice people (ladies Heidi and Cara), they pampered us ❤️

    The weather was a bit bad, rain and cloudy, but the crew made sure that we were not short of anything.
    It was an unforgettable experience.
    Snorkeling at Klein Bonaire, sailing again. Snorkeling in between unlimited drinks, delicious meat from the BBQ and enjoying the whole thing.
    Compliments to the crew.
    Tip for the next bookers of this trip... at the end, when your slippers are ready again, there will be the tip box... they deserve it.

    What a wonderful and unique experience. My husband booked this tour for our visit to Bonaire while on a cruise. We were able to walk the short distance to the meeting spot which was easy to find. The company we booked through had one of their catamarans go out of service but they asked another local tour company if they would be able to help out so they wouldn’t have to cancel our trip. Thankfully the Aquaspace team was eager to help and what a wonderful and unique experience it was. The crew from Aquaspace and one of the guides from the tour group were all onboard. Aquaspace is a very unique trimaran that Peter, the captain and his daughter and her boyfriend have spent the last year and a half restoring. The boat has an aquarium area in the bottom, not a glass bottom but an actual aquarium area. I was unable to snorkel that day but because of the unique space at the bottom I was able to see so many wonderful things and even got a video of my husband snorkeling! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! We even voted it one of the best meals on our vacation! The crew was very accommodating and helpful and such a pleasure to spend time with. They helped make this experience and our visit to Bonaire very special! I highly recommend both companies when looking for your next adventure on the island.

    I did this as a private tour for my group of 21 when I was in Bonaire on a Carnival Cruise. From the start of the booking with their responses to my many questions to the day of the excursion, everything was top notch. The crew we had Kara, Fred, Randy and Julia were awesome. From the minute we stepped on the Cat they were the best. My group never sat without a drink. We sailed for a bit, then we pulled over to snorkel and to have lunch and what lunch it was. It started with Shrimp and Tuna Kabobs with an awesome pasta salad, then ended with steak and chicken kabobs. Plenty for everyone. Everyone was pleased with what they fed. After lunch, we sailed for a bit more and they took us past the ship so we could take some great pics.
    If you are ever in Bonaire, book Epic Tours. I know I would again if I get back.
    Thank you again Kara, Fred, Randy and Julia for a great day!

    This activity was so much fun - the crew were very friendly and helpful. We missed the departure time because our flight from Curaçao was delayed but the tour guide was gracious enough to take us to the catamaran via another small boat. The guided snorkelling tour was amazing. The guide was very knowledgable and funny. W saw a couple turtles & lots of fish. The food served onboard was yummy & the drinks were flowing. Overall, it is highly recommended - you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun in the sun!

    As advertised and awesome! The crew was great. This trip is designed around the cruise ship schedule. Only about 20 people or so on the boat. The Catamaran seemed well maintained and clean. The crew really took care of us and brought us drinks whenever we wanted. Lunch was amazing and cooked right there on the boat.
    The snorkeling was in some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen and we had plenty of time to snorkel freely on our own. The provided snorkel equipment was in good shape worked great.

    Bonaire is beautiful! I would not hesitate to book the same exact trip again next time I’m in Bonaire. Loved it!
