Woodwind Bonaire is a small, family-run catamaran tour that has been sharing the beauty of Bonaire’s waters since 1990. We offer relaxed sailing, vibrant snorkeling, and friendly marine education, with a focus on creating a personal and easygoing experience for every guest.
We operate out of Bonaire, a Caribbean island known for its vibrant marine life and pristine coral reefs. Our tours typically depart from the south dock inside the Divi Flamingo Resort – you can’t miss us! Are you coming on a cruiseship? Make sure you check out our map for directions from the cruiseship port to our meeting point.
All our tours operate on local Bonaire time, which is GMT-4. Please note that Bonaire does not observe daylight saving time. Be sure to check the local time against your ship’s time, as cruise ships often operate in different time zones. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us, and we’ll help you coordinate!
