Led by a marine biologist, Joel Simon, a popular and accomplished snorkeling instructor and photographer, explore the treasures of the underwater world at different sites each day. Learning about marine biology while snorkeling amidst the intriguing shapes and textures of coral gardens teeming with life, you'll observe fascinating relationships among the intriguingly varied fish, sponges, corals, and other creatures that inhabit this iridescent underwater world. Complementing your exploration of Bonaire's spectacular reefs will be a visit to Goto Meer saltwater lake and the island's northern shore, where a desert environment is sanctuary to thousands of flamingos, exquisite parakeets, and uniquely colored endemic lizards. In addition to your snorkeling excursions by boat to special sites, you will find some of the island's best snorkeling from the beach at Captain Don's Habitat, your home for a week. A special highlight will be the opportunity to snorkel at night, when your flashlight will reveal a completely different world than you have observed in the sun, with nocturnal shrimp, lobsters, large-eyed squirrel fish, and others emerging from their daytime seclusion, and fish seen active during the day now at rest on coral ledges and hollows.
Snorkeling is a safe, easy activity that virtually anyone can master quickly and enjoy enormously.
And remember, by traveling with WWF you are supporting conservation work around the globe.
