Iceberg2 Posted April 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We were in Bonaire two years ago, took a van outside the ship and it was a disaster. Most boring drive, with a driver who's English was terrible. Is there any suggestions for folks who are not too physically adventurous ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceberg2 Posted June 13, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Check this website out Info Bonaire Thanks for your response. We were told of aquaspace, it is an glass bottomed sail boat, sits about 20 people. As for non-snorkeling persons, what a wonderful way to enjoy the view. Since, this tour is early morning, I will check over the list again and find something to do later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted July 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Please do consider taking a snorkeling excursion even if you don't intend to snorkel! :p It's quite fun to just enjoy the "sail" part! :cool: While we have enjoyed snorkeling for years, there are times now when we had just rather play/swim around. No one will make you snorkel or even think you're strange if you don't. Some stay on the boat/catamaran the entire time and never put a toe in the water! :D Have FUN planning! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try snokeling at Princess Cay - I need to know I can touch the bottom if I need to stand and don't like the idea of going into the water from a boat.

At the beginning of the tour, a sheet went around all of the guests asking about their experience in the water & if we can swim. As I'd dislocated my shoulder several years ago I can't swim any longer. While almost everyone else was in the water, I stayed onboard and watched as well as learning things about the area from the crewmembers. We were about 9 miles out in the Atlantic - according to the crew. I had a grand time & stayed totally dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanatravel Posted October 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Iceberg, I'm with you. Plus due to sinus issues, I hate drinking salt water! We are taking the Aquaspace tour the first week of November. We'll be on the Caribbean Princess. I'll let you know how it goes once I return. Bon Voyage Nanatravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
