Snorkeling at Klein Bonaire
Because we know not everyone has a sailboat, we can share with you some snorkeling spots that you can acces easily from the shore.
Snorkeling at Klein Bonaire: The little island in front off the west coast of Bonaire is called Klein Bonaire, or ‘Little Bonaire’. You may only access it by boat. Around Klein Bonaire there are many snorkeling spots but the most famous and accessible one is No Name Beach. There are water taxi’s that depart daily and will drop you off at this special beach. Enjoy the white sand and of course see many different types of fish, corals and turtles while snorkelling! With a half-day trip to Klein Bonaire we (Compass Bonaire) will show you our favorite reefs.
Snorkeling at 1000 steps Bonaire
Snorkeling at 1000 steps Bonaire: When you drive along the Queens Highway on the westside of the island you wil come to a small place called 1000 steps. One of the best snorkeling spots on Bonaire. A small stairway will give you acces to a beach, jump in the water to see a lot of turtles. Best time is in the early morning or late afternoon cause this snorkeling spot is busy during the day. Also look out for your personal stuff cause this spot is well known by thiefs.
Snokeling Lac Bay (sorobon) Bonaire
Snokeling Lac Bay (sorobon) Bonaire: Lac Bay is famous windsurfing spot and many people will come and relax on the beach. But what a lot of people don’t know is that the snorkeling at Lac Bay is great, if you are in for a walk. The bay is very shallow and sometimes the wind can be very hard. But if you walk to the reef on a less windy day you will be rewarded with one of the best reefs on the island. You can expect Turtles, lots of different fish and outstanding corals.
Bonaire Mangroves
Bonaire Mangroves: Near Lac Bay you will find the mangroves. This place is not recommend to snorkel on your own. But a guided snorkeling tour is really great. You will swim trough the mangroves and see lots of sponges groing on and small fish hiding between the roots. Take a visit at the mangrove center for this trip.

3. Good Depths For Snorkeling
All around Bonaire there are nice shallow waters that are perfect for snorkeling. The reefs will start as soon as you enter the water and will show you lots of fish.
