Super fun trip! - Had a fantastic afternoon! Visited some nice snorkeling spots. Captain was super friendly and knew a lot to tell. Took all the time and we could specify what we wanted. Nice drink with it. What more could you want?!

Amazing Day With Salty Tours - Communication with Salty Tours was great. The pick up spot off the cruise ship was extremely easy to find and a very short walk. My husband and I and our 4 daughters had an amazing 3 hours on Darin’s boat. We snorkeled at 3 different locations and went tubing twice. We made great memories! We would not hesitate to book again.

BEST tour and guide of Bonaire by water! - Our family of 10, ranging in age from 10 to 60, had an absolutely amazing time on Capt. Tariq's 3-hour boat tour of Bonaire! With a wide variety of interests and skills, everyone found something to enjoy. The kids had a blast jumping off the boat and getting pulled on the tube, while many of us were able to snorkel in the stunning reefs. The 'chill island' at the back of the boat was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. It was incredibly convenient, too—since we were on a Royal Caribbean cruise, the boat was just a 3-minute walk from the dock. This also gives awesome photo ops and views of your ship as you head out on your tour. Capt. Tariq made everything so easy, and the cold beer and water provided were a great touch. This tour was hands down the highlight of our trip, and for the value, it truly can't be beat! We will do this again when we return to Bonaire as young and old are still talking about it!

Bonaire boating & tubing - Darin was wonderful. He took us to a great snorkeling spot on Klein Bonaire and then he drove my sons around tubing behind the boat. It was quite the adventure. He was very accommodating, provided gear and very knowledgeable.

Best of Bonaire - Captain Darin is everything that makes Bonaire special. He is calm and personable. He has extensive island knowledge and most importantly hosts a fantastic boat day. He tailored our trip to exactly the needs of our multi-generational group and everyone had an amazing time. We beach hopped, snorkeled and did some tubing. Darin packs a fantastic cooler of beverages and there really isn’t anything he hasn’t thought of. We would absolutely book with Darin every time we visit Bonaire.

Salty Tours Bonaire - Date: 5 Feb 2025. We did a 3 hour boat tour with Darin. We met at the pier next to the ship -- very close. The boat was on time. Gave us a tour of local shore line. Then headed out to snorkeling location which was really great. Then to a local beach. Very flexible on what we wanted to do. Next, to another great snorkeling place. Drinks provided and very much appreciated. Finally ended up doing the towed tube experience! Super Fun! My son-in-law said best ever! Darin, thanks for a great time!
