Set out on a voyage reminiscent of a time when the seas were plied by sailing ships that were not only transportation, but genuine works of art.
Transfer by Zodiac from the pier to Samur -- an authentic Siamese junk. She is a hand-built and -carved relic of a bygone era.
You'll set sail and glide smoothly under the distinctive red sail across the strait to uninhabited island of Klein Bonaire. During the journey, the captain offers information about the reef and its fishy inhabitants and shares with you the history of this Siamese sailing junk.
Drinks are served -- fruit juices and sodas -- and the crew hands out snorkel gear (fins, masks, snorkels and inflatable snorkel vests). After about 45 minutes, you'll arrive at Klein Bonaire, where you'll jump into the Zodiac for a ride to the pristine white-sand beach. Snorkel from here or take the Zodiac to the outer edge of Ebo's Reef.
Those comfortable with drift snorkeling will find themselves, courtesy of the gentle current, back at the beach in about 20 minutes. Time at the beach is about 60 minutes.
Re-boarding the junk, you'll relax with rum punch, fruit juice, soft drinks and platters of tropical fruits en route back to Kralendijk.
Please note: Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, a cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Participants must be able to climb a few steps.
