Most special experience of our Bonaire trip - Of all the fun things we did on Bonaire, this was definitely the most special experience. There were 6 of us on the sunset tour. Peter and Jiske make an insanely fun team and are really top hosts/chefs/skippers. Very nice to hear history behind the Aquaspace boat, including the more recent history of how Peter, Jiske and Sven restored the boat. The tour is very varied and the 4 hours flew by. Sailing along the coral of small Bonaire while you search for marine animals from the “aquarium” is an experience in itself. Then snorkel and then sit down for a fantastic 3 course dinner. The Quality of food also surprised us in a positive way. That was certainly not inferior to the good restaurants on Bonaire. And to finish of course the beautiful sunset as you slowly sail back to the port. All in all an unforgettable experience that we can recommend to everyone! And for the people who get seasick quickly, don't worry. We are very sensitive to that normally, but not bothered for a moment.
