Klein Bonaire

Hi all
Has anyone taken the water taxi over to Klein Bonaire for a beach day and or snorkeling?
If so, is the water taxi close by the cruise port? 
Thanks ahead 😊

We have taken the water taxi.  Go out of the port, facing land go to your left (north). It is near Karel's which is a bar on the waterfront.  The taxi takes you to leave our stuff on the beach (you get like 10 minutes) then get back on the taxi and they drop you off so you can do a drift snorkel back to the spot where you left your stuff.   We did this on a day when there was NOT a ship in port.  I believe on cruise ship days, they just pick up and drop off at the beach.   We are going to Bonaire for a land trip next week.  Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

WE booked a three hour water taxi excursion to Klein Bonaire to drift snorkel. We're curious is there more than one water taxi company? What if we want to come back before the three hours is up (I've seen that the taxis run frequently) Do you know if we can just get back on any taxi when it shows up?

When we went by water taxi we went with Caribe Water Sports.  .  I'd sugggest asking the company you booked with.  We went with Caribe Water Sports.

  It's been 2 years since we took a water taxi.  When we were back in May '23 for our land vacation, we booked with Woodwind they are by far the best  https://www.woodwindbonaire.com/
