We are at the last of the ABC Islands... Bonaire. We had no idea what we wanted to do in this port... we just knew we wanted a beach and snorkeling... So we walked off the ship with no booked excursion and no plans! Right outside of the ship was an information booth with maps of the island so we went and asked for a suggestion. The very nice lady told us that there was a new resort that had recently opened and were offering day passes for $25 so that sounded good to us.
A quick taxi ride and we arrived at Chogogo... WOW! We were blown away! This resort was amazing!! The sea was beautiful, with great snorkeling, but there was also a pool and even a lazy river around the resort! It wasn't busy and even though we arrived not first thing in the morning, we were able to get a great palapa which gave us comfortable shade.
Needless to say, this was an incredible day!!

Just did Chogogo off the Carnival Horizon last week because of this video. Thanks! To fill in some holes it's a $4 per person cab ride from the port. Just go to the taxi stand and they will point you to a driver. On the way home go to the front desk of resort and they will call you a taxi to go back to ship. Super easy and great option for a self guided excursion.

Was it crowded with cruise ship passengers

@jppt88 7 месяцев назад

@honestlyspeaking1332 No. Not the day we went with only 1 ship in port. They limit the number of day passes and its first come first served. Go early.

@christophercummins2869 6 месяцев назад

Did they have free WiFi. Also could you use food voucher for alcohol?

@jppt88 6 месяцев назад

@christophercummins2869 I didn't ask about wifi but it may be included. The voucher was good for both food and alcohol from the beach bar/restaurant.

@AlabasterHouseRecovery 2 месяца назад

Did you have to go early in the morning to get the pass? We want to see other things so we are trying to plan our day! Was a lot of ppl from the ship there? Did you go anywhere else or just chagogo?

@daniellegeenevasen7958 9 месяцев назад

Hi! Bonaire resident here. Chogogo is our newest “big” resort. It means flamingo in our native language. Across the road from the hotel you can actually spot wild flamingo’s. Bonaire is a real treasure. The reef at chogogo is far from the best and still so beautiful. It is worth wile to stay for at least a week. Even though small, it has a lot to offer. ❤

@AlabasterHouseRecovery 2 месяца назад

Do you have to be there early in the morning to get the day passes? Was a lot of ppl from the ship there? Did you see flamingos? I want to see the salt pyramid before going to chagogo so I’m trying to plan my day.

@daniellegeenevasen7958 2 месяца назад

@@AlabasterHouseRecovery yes, you need to be early for daypasses. Might be sold out at 8.05. I would take a saltroute tour. You will see flamingo’s and the salt (saliña’s).

@kirareed1865 27 дней назад

Thank you. I'm flying in July 19. Looking forward to touring the island and checking out this resort for a day pass.

@nancytellado9687 Месяц назад

Looking forward to visiting Bonaire in January 2025 for my 50th birthday. Thank you for sharing this video. It will be my first trip ever away from the state I live in. So excited for this adventure.

We went here the week of Thanksgiving 2023 off a cruise on the Celebrity Equinox. Can confirm there were a hundred empty lounge chairs all day and the rate was still $25 per person. Everything was just as described, including a coupon for lunch which cost my wife and I $14 plus tip, really nice property. Lazy river, pool etc. The beach was another story. Lots of dead coral and rocks made for treacherous walking to get into the water. Definitely recommend bringing swimming shoes of some type just to get in and out, if nothing else. Beyond that, great tip!!

@daniellegeenevasen7958 2 месяца назад

You do realize all that coral dies because y’all are stepping at it right? That beach was put there illegally. If you want a natural sand beach with easy access, you go to Te Amo, across from the airport, or take the watertaxi to Klein Bonaire.

@carolparker3977 Год назад

The cab was a very short ride, less than 10 minutes. It was $15 for 1-4 people. I was solo, so I paid $15. But a group of four is also $15. They will call you a cab when you’re ready to leave. You buy the passes at the front desk, they’re first come first served. I think they only have so many to sell. I got there before 9:00am and had no issue. It’s also a scuba place if you’re interested in that. Super clean, modern, everyone nice and accommodating. Hope you enjoy if you go! What was the cab fare from port to resort? How long was the ride there? Dud you buy pass ahead of time or at resort front desk?

@carolparker3977 Год назад

Hi y’all, just wanted to pop in and tell you that we are literally at Chogogo beach resort as I write, because of your video and it is beyond awesome! You did not over sell it, it was our goal to be here on Wednesday, May 3 and here we are! Thank you for your video, and this incredible recommendation. If others are coming here on a cruise, the resort day pass is the absolute way to go! A lovely facility, food, beach, snorkeling, you name it, all very relaxing, and at least today, not crowded. But once the word gets out…. We’re already planning to return for a weeklong resort vacay! Cheers!

We went to Bonaire in 2017. Hired a semi-private snorkeling guide others had recommended. The other couple turned out to live an hour away from us LOL. She was great, had an education in biology. She drove us to three different places. It was awesome to get actual snorkel lesson, instead of those huge excursions. Sadly, she passed away a couple years after. We're looking for a resort to go to with a lady river... though we'd prefer all inclusive. I wonder if this place has a food plan available

@davewhiting5169 Год назад

Wow.What a great and affordable way to spend the day in Bonaire. I love to snorkel. It's the main reason why I cruise. I will definitely look for that place the next time I cruise to Bonaire.The excursions I took the last 2 times I went there were about 3 hours long for 60 to 75 bucks.That's only about an hour and a half in the water.I would stay in the water for several hours if I was at a place like that resort. Bonaire is like a huge aquarium. So many varieties of sea life in a small area.Thanks for the great video.❤😊

@livingweirdestherc6644 Год назад

That was a great deal

@bruciethecuz9031 Год назад

Nice! Wish earlier in 2022 we could have done that deal when we were there on the 14 night Emerald Princess. Maybe not an option at the time or not opened yet. Back in 2016 we did a great excursion with highlights of Bonaire and acquired a bottle of cactus liquor called Cadushi. We still have to visit Curacao to complete the ABC Islands! 👍

We were there a couple weeks ago..(probably around time of your recording on the RC explorer) my wife and I like you two had no plans so we walked and shopped and ate. Then we wanted to find a place like this and had no luck with our own hikes. Wish we had known if this. But now we know for next trip

@elizarich1605 Год назад

What a beautiful destination! Where did you guys keep your belongings while in the pool and lazy river? Lockers?

@327Erich 6 месяцев назад

LOVE Bonaire. Very affordable, very laid back island. And it was by far the BEST snorkeling I've ever done. We booked an excursion with Woodwind Bonaire, a family-run outfit that served unlimited drinks and a yummy lunch on the catamaran and took us out to Klein Bonaire, where we snorkeled along the gorgeous reef for....45 minutes, 3 hours, I don't know and I didn't care. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back right now...fortunately/unfortunately for my wife, this was her first "real" snorkeling experience and nothing since has even come close.

@kknobbe7194 Год назад

@nikkid718 Год назад

@davva360 Год назад

My favorite is Aruba but I have yet to go to Bonaire so its only a partial answer.

@daliaruiz3924 Год назад

Aruba is beautiful but Curacao is definitely a close second❤

@CigarsNTequila Год назад

Just did ABC’s around same time as this recording. First time for Bonaire. All three are beautiful. Aruba is just Gorgeous. So hard to pick a top. They all have a little something special in their own way. Curaçao is probably my favorite. The shopping n food and nightlife is great. Kokomo beach is great.

Looked like you found a hidden gem. I am not a fan of the crowded pools and beach resorts. Question: Is this cruise a 9 day cruise and is the longest cruise you have ever been on? I know you love cruising but do you like shorter or then longer cruises?

@EECCTravels Год назад

Yes it was a gem! This 10 day was our longest. We are creeping into the longer sailings but usually do 7 days.

My wife and I are considering going here on our cruise at the end of March. How rocky would you say the entrance to the snorkeling area is?

@327Erich 6 месяцев назад

If you want to snorkel, I'd highly recommend booking an excursion that takes you to Klein Bonaire, a small island right next to the "main" island. The island is completely surrounded by a beautiful reef. You'd think you were snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef if you didn't know any better. Woodwind Bonaire is a family-owned (and very affordable) outfit that I highly recommend for snorkeling.
