This was probably the best snorkeling excursion that we have ever done. We were a little skeptical about a snorkeling excursion from the beach, but we were not disappointed. We booked the excursion by email and were in constant communication with Brenda regarding price, pickup time and place and our snorkeling gear needs. We were picked up promptly near the dock. The excursion group was a total of 4 people which was so much better than the masses on the cruise ship excursions. Brenda took us to two different beaches and we saw an amazing variety of fish and other sea life, including an octopus, several types of eel and a seahorse. Brenda was the best guide. We truly enjoyed this cruise port--our first time in Bonaire. Highly recommended. Thank you Brenda.

If you want to see lots of sea life and learn and don't want to be part of a large tour group this is for you!! Brenda will only take one group, max of 6 at a time; the two of us felt so lucky to have her to ourselves. She asks about your experience and what you want to see and selects spots based on what you want. She is expert at spotting and identifying all the aquatic life- we saw an octopus! She packs snacks and water ( loved getting to try the desalinated Bonaire water) too. We enjoyed her so much that we did an island tour with her in the afternoon. We saw so much more than anyone we talked to on our cruise ship! Bonus, she knows the best local spots for beer.

Brenda runs a good show! She took me by pickup truck to the Southern part of the island where the salt evaporation ponds are located. She seemed knowledgeable about the basics of the process. Then she took me to a snorkeling site on the way back off a beach and she snorkeled with me. He equipment was excellent and she is a great, attentive, engaging and friendly guide. I experienced the best snorkeling ever!

My new husband and I spent a half day with Brenda on our cruise stop in Bonaire! She met us at the ship and drove us to two locations for a spectacular excursion. Brenda is delightful. She was full of information about the island's history as well as present day issues. While I am an experienced diver, my husband is just learning. Brenda was a great teacher, very patient and attentive! The other couple that joined us were experienced as well and Brenda gave them boundaries and let them explore on their own. The clarity was fantastic like a pool. The variety of fish, corals, and sponges was amazing. Brenda did a great job pointing out many things we would have missed on our own. We saw eels, turtles, and more species of fish than in my thirty years of diving the keys and other islands. I can't wait to go back to Bonaire for a whole week. We will definitely seek out Brenda again. I can't recommend her highly enough! Great day!

We were in Bonaire in June, for hubs and I to dive, and to take mom on a vacation she had never been on before. We wanted mom to learn to snorkel, so that she could understand what hubs and I see diving. Mom doesn't swim, and just turned 80. So after reading the other reviews about Brenda, we booked an afternoon snorkeling with her, for mom. Brenda was extremely patient with mom, and showed her (and named) all the little critters mom saw. She took us to the calmest spot on the island, and shallow, which was perfect for mom, so she would not be scared. The afternoon was well worth it. Brenda even went the extra, and loaned us a boogie board for mom to use snorkeling without her, since we were on a tight schedule, and could not book another afternoon with her. Thank you, Brenda. I would highly recommend anyone to book with her. I'm trying to talk some of my co-workers into learning to scuba dive and get certified with her. Highly recommended, and if we return to Bonaire, I would like to schedule a night snorkel with her

We booked a full day with Brenda and were very happy that we did it since she took us to 4 different snorkeling sites. We snorkeled in several different spots before going with Brenda but she was able to take us to better locations and we didn't have to worry about anything. She took good care of us. Brenda was able to show and identify many fishes and corals for us. She even provided some snacks, drinks and fresh water to wash off our faces after each stop. She is fun to be with and gives you a tour of the island while driving to snorkeling sites. We are glad we found her!

We cruised with Celebrity Eclipse and weren't able to book the tours we wanted through the cruise ship. So for the first time we went off ship without knowing what we were going to do that day. After seeing a area for tour information and speaking with around 20 different groups, my wife and I felt comfortable taking a tour with Brenda. I explained that I wanted to snorkel but didn't want my wife to be bored due to not being a great swimmer. It just wouldn't be fair to her. Brenda said that she would take just the two of us and spend time with my wife to get her comfortable in the water. She spent as much time as my wife needed and got her to place her face in the water with mask and snorkel. My wife popped right back up and we both thought she was freaked out with this. We were both wrong, because she had just seen a fish real close and wanted to tell us about it. Brenda then got my wife to float with her face in the water and see for the first time life under the water while snorkeling. My wife was so comfortable with Brenda that she for the first time had a great time in the water and wasn't afraid. This by far was the best highlight of the trip for me seeing my wife having fun in the water for the first time in her life. After about an hour of snorkeling with me and my wife and explaining the different fishes that we saw, it was time for the next part of our tour. Brenda then took us to the salt mines, slave huts, and flamingos. On our way back to the ship she stopped at a local business and bought us both drinks. It was a great tour. If you are looking for a small tour group, then Brenda is the right person for you. She only takes around 4 people max, and will custom the tour to your wishes. Thank you Brenda for our vacation memories.

Bonaire has so many wonderful dive and snorkeling sites that it can be a little overwhelming at first. Where to start? Which sites will be best for us?
We were fortunate that Brenda was recommended to us as a guide. This was not the standard, "this is where we are going, take it or leave it tour", Brenda spent time finding out exactly what we wanted to see, and how adventurous we were (or weren't!). She then put together a program and explained to us how the program covered our sometimes conflicting requirements.
We managed to see so many fish, from a baby drum fish through to barracudas and conger eels, that it would take too long to list them all here. For two visitors from a land-locked country who are generally restricted to a couple of weeks snorkeling per year, it was a great experience.
We also spent a lot of time driving around the island looking for flamingos, but without success. We mentioned this to Brenda, and she found us three flamingos at the back of the harbour, about half a mile from our hotel! We would never have thought of looking there!
We went on two tours with Brenda and she was friendly and entertaining throughout. If you visit Bonaire, and you are looking for an experienced guide for diving, snorkeling or flamingos, look no further than H2O Visions.
Highly recommended!

Brenda was super helpful and flexible. Not only did we learn a lot about the island she gave us good snorkeling tips for when we ventured alone. We also had to reschedule a drift snorkel because the weather was not the best and she was super flexible. We would not hesitate to use Brenda again and hope to when we return!!
