Overview

Every tour sets off from Lac Cai Beach, the gateway to Bonaire's protected Lac Bay National Park. Because the mangrove forest is a delicate, protected ecosystem, entry is only permitted alongside a certified nature guide — you won't be paddling in alone. Before you push off, you'll settle into a glass-bottom kayak built for stability rather than speed, with a padded backrest, a dry bag for your belongings, and a paddle in hand.

These kayaks are wide, sturdy, and about as close to tip-proof as a kayak gets, so you can relax and take in the scenery instead of worrying about your balance as you glide through the shallow channels and duck beneath low branches.

Along the way, your guide explains how these roots do double duty — sheltering marine life while quietly protecting Bonaire's coastline from erosion. The tour wraps up with a snorkel stop that regularly ranks among the top things to do on the island.
