Wonderful experience, nice day on the island!
A fun activity in a beautiful setting. The mangroves are enchanting, and our guide, Tijmen, was absolutely fantastic! He shared a lot of information, cracked a few jokes, and was considerate of everyone. Highly recommended!
Thymen is great. Great guide, got all the ins and outs of the mangroves. Super fun and educational tour. Really worth it. This man deserves a raise. Got an extra stroopwafel for spotting a starfish. Greetings
I found the tour fun and educational. Beautiful surroundings! Stan was a great guide who involved everyone in the tour.
As a tip I would say: bring water shoes. This was not stated in the email, but is nice (and allowed). I also thought it was a shame that we were well on time and that we left later because they waited for latecomers, while the email said that this would not happen.
The guide Stan led us through the beautiful Mangrove of Bonaire in a funny and educational way.
Special thanks to our guide Stan, who was able to tell us a lot about the diversity of flora and fauna present in the Mangrove.
You could tell from everything that he has a lot of respect for nature, which we have to take great care of.
He gave us an unforgettable day.
Saw fantastically beautiful places
Great atmosphere, great guide (Tiemen-Thymen) who provided very informative explanations. We visited beautiful hidden places. Highly recommended.
