Kayaking

Whether it's kayaking in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea or exploring the secluded passageways of the Lac Bay mangroves, Bonaire's ecological diversity, above water and below, offers something special to each and every kayak adventurer. To ensure that your kayak adventure is a true voyage of personal discovery, we offer programs that range from novice to the highly challenging. A wide variety of kayak routes are available.

Sit-On-Top Kayaks

For paddlers interested in a kayak offering exceptional stability, nothing beats a sit-on-top kayak. The open cockpit design allows even the inexperienced paddler to enter and exit from the shore, dock, or water with ease. Sit-on-top kayaks are very easy to use and very forgiving. There are no Eskimo rolls or wet exits - so paddle away! Enjoy the easy exploration of the coastline and secluded beaches of Bonaire's northern shores, or the inlets and secret passageways of the Lac Bay mangroves, where bird life and fish life vie for your attention! The sit on-top kayaks offer a program for every member of the family.

Participants over the age of 12 are welcome for all programs that do not involve diving, whereas children under 12 are welcome at the instructors discretion. The minimum age for all kayak dive programs is 15 years.
