kayak/caving in bonaire?

[oceancat]

I realize this is a dive board, but I know I will be doing lots of diving and have gathered good suggestions from this board for that. However, I would also like to do some kayaking in the mangroves and possibly either some caving or cave snorkeling. Does anyone have any recommendations on guides for these sorts of activities? Thanks!

We only dove with them, but Bonaire Dive & Adventure does Eco Adventures also:

They're the house diveop for Sand Dollar Condos and Den Laman - located on Bari Reef.

Habitat had some flyers for cave trips in the dive shop, I think Wilco was the guide.

You better take lots (LOTS) of insect repellant.

The activities are fun - but there are lots of "bugs" in the mangroves.

THanks for the bug repellant warning. I have several bottles of sawyer's deet

Another activity to consider is horeback riding in the Ocean.

Runs around 90 bucks each for a good four hours.

I hope that was an S you missed and not a W. Phew ;-}

Direct contact is Hans at Outdoor Bonaire, he is excellent and can do both, the cave snorkeling and kayaking. He also does rappelling, hiking tours, bunches of stuff!
