Transportation

There is ample parking at Aquafari on the beach at Boka Sami so it is fine to drive to Aquafari with your own transportation.

If you do not have transportation then you can arrange for a Hotel Pickup Service at the time of booking. This must be paid separately to the driver.

What to expect.

After checking in on the beach at Boka Sami, you will receive detailed explanations about the machine and how everything will go. You will also quickly notice that the guidance during the tour is aimed at giving you the best possible experience. Per group of max. 4 scooters, at least 2 guides will go into the sea.
The scooter, equipped with air bottle, will be brought into the sea for you. So even this is already relaxed: you don’t have to drag the scooter yourself. You yourself then have to swim a few meters to the scooter.
To get “into” the scooter, you have to submerge your head underwater for a moment to get into the glass sphere, but it is already filled with air from the air bottle, so you can then immediately breathe normally again. Then it’s time to really start the tour. Slowly, the guides will take you down to a depth of up to 7 meters. The guides show you the way to the most beautiful spots, signal you when there is a beautiful fish or other animal nearby, and they constantly keep an eye on you to make sure everything is still relaxed. Through hand gestures explained during instruction, you can indicate when you need help. All in all, you are underwater for just under an hour.

Included in this excursion

Aquafari tour of 55 minutes + thorough explanation in advance (in English, Dutch or maybe Spanish if Spanish-speaking crew is at site).
Use of safe for storage of phone, car key, wallet, among others.

Ear Problems
Are you expecting possible problems with your ears, e.g., because you cannot clear? Please contact us in advance to discuss your situation. Whether or not you can take an Aquafari tour may vary from case to case.

With an Aquafari tour, you go to about 7 meters (23 ft.) deep in the sea. As a consequence, there is extra pressure on your body, comparable to when you go 7 meters (23 ft.) deep with scuba diving. That is why you are not allowed to board a plane until 18 hours after your Aquafari tour (not even a small round trip plane, or a short flight to e.g. Bonaire).
Because your head is in a sphere with “normal” air (from a scuba tank), you will experience virtually no pressure difference on your head. However, you may have to clear your ears from time to time. If you may have problems with this, please contact us in advance to discuss your situation. For some it will not be a problem, for others the advice will be not to do an Aquafari.
