Bonaire group trip.

Post by Jaksonbrown »

Just thought I would throw this out there. We are looking for a few couples/singles who might want to join us on a Bonaire trip in late Dec, early Jan.

Thanks to Tom's advice, we have found some incredible beach houses for rent. Really amazing places that if we get a group together, it will not only drive the price down considerably, but put us in a 4 star beach front home!

Anyone interested please drop me a line here or at Divelist@hotmail.com

BOOM! We now have 8 confirmed! The trip is a go. I am going to wait until Monday to see if anyone else gets on board for a maximum of 12.

We will book the villa then.

This is going to be an awesome trip and group!

The dates are set. We are renting the villa which sleeps 10 people total. The dates are Jan 10th-18th. Some of us are staying a few extra days but will be renting a smaller place as the villa is no longer available after the 18th. Some are island hoping for the last few days so the group trip with the villa is now at 9 days. Extra days are at your option and not included in this price. This is an amazing villa right on the beach with its own house reef and steep wall dive literally out of your front door. This villa is built for divers so it has outdoor gear wash, showers, tables, storage etc with stairs right out into the ocean.

Costs from Seattle are about $1500 including flights and the villa. All other costs are extra. This is an estimated cost as flights vary depending upon your choices and times you book your ticket. Obviously the sooner you book your flights, the cheaper it will be. We have 7 confirmed at this point with several maybes. Room for 3 more.

First to confirm obviously reserve the space. I have reserved the villa. The villa costs are $625pp and is required by Dec 1st to reserve your room in the villa. Flights are available now but everyone is figuring out their own way depending upon air miles, dates, etc.

This is the villa website if anyone wants to check it out.

We haven't been able to find any reasonable flights - so our spots are open unless something comes up.

Wow!!!
I would love to bounce right back to Bonaire but my scuba units are spent as well as vacation time.
Have a great time...
I loved it, even if I caught a bit of a cold.
Can't wait to go again...

Elise... Not sure where your coming out of exactly in Wi, but there are tons of flights available to Curacao for pretty inexpensive rates.

I sent you a pm. Im pretty good at arranging travel if you need any help.

Call me if you have any questions.

4 spots avail. Did I mention that the villa has 5 private rooms? So each couple gets their own private bedroom! Single folks that are going have the option to have twin beds put in the rooms so you will have a roommate.

Who wants to go?????!!!!!!!
