🛶 Mangrove Kayak Tour Bonaire: Paddle Through a Hidden Paradise
Looking for a peaceful, eco-friendly, and unforgettable experience in Bonaire?
The Mangrove Kayak Tour in Bonaire is one of the island’s most unique adventures — a chance to explore a protected ecosystem, up close and quietly, by kayak.
At Fiesta Tours Bonaire, we offer guided mangrove excursions that blend nature, education, and gentle activity — perfect for travelers of all ages and levels.
🌿 What Makes the Mangroves So Special?
Bonaire’s mangrove forest, located in Lac Bay, is part of a protected RAMSAR wetland and one of the few accessible mangrove systems in the Caribbean.
Here, you’ll paddle through narrow channels, glide over seagrass meadows, and see:
- Baby fish and juvenile reef species
- Birds, like herons and pelicans
- Mangrove crabs and snails
- Clear, shallow water teeming with life
This is one of Bonaire’s most delicate ecosystems — and exploring it by kayak helps preserve it.

Our tours are guided by local eco experts who will explain how mangroves help:
