Highlights
- Kralendijk - Kralendijk is the capital city and main port of the island of Bonaire. In Dutch, Koralendijk (of which the name Kralendijk is a degeneration) means “coral reef” or “coral dike.” In Papiamentu, the town is often called Playa or “beach.” Kralendijk is a lively and colorful Caribbean town center.
- 1000 Steps - The tour passes along the leeward coast of Bonaire through Queen’s Highway. This is a narrow road that hugs the northern shoreline with beautiful scenery of various dive spots. Along this road, we will stop by the beach of 1000 Steps, which thanks it’s name to the limestone stairs you have to descend to get there.
- Gotomeer - Gotomeer is a saltwater lagoon near the island’s northern end and it is a flamingo hangout. You’ll get the chance to step out and hopefully spot the flamingos in their natural habitat.
- Rincon - Bonaire’s oldest village. We’ll tour the village and give you the opportunity to delve into the authentic feel of Caribbean architecture and the village its remarkable history.
- Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary - The Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary is one of only four areas in the world where Flamingos breed. The Sanctuary is located on the vast salt pans at the southern end of the island and is home to hundreds of flamingos.

Great tour, fantastic guide - This was a great tour. Henk was very knowledgeable and was very professional. The van was great and Henk had water available for us. We had enough time at each stop, Henk told us some personal stories about the island and answered all our questions and more. We learned things about the island that we would never had known without our local guide. Highly recommended

Great local tour guide - Henk was great. He provided information about island life, his life, and all the areas we visited. He was willing to adjust the schedule to meet our needs and even helped us find a local restaurant with very good food. He was on time for the departure and the return to post.

Great tour - Great experience. We got to see a huge range of sights all across the island. Our favorite was seeing the flamingos in their natural habitat and salt flats.

Private Bonaire Tour - North & South - If you are looking for a private tour guide for Bonaire, look no further. Henk picked us up at the cruise port in an air conditioned van. We were a party of 4. We toured the north and south end of the island. We saw everything that is listed. My highlight was seeing the flamingos and the pink beds. We also visited 1000 steps in addition saw donkeys and goats. He is very informative and all enjoyed.

Excellent service - very knowledgeable staff - We had a wonderful time on the Private Bonaire Island Tour. Not only did the company make us feel valued in my pre-tour communications, but the owner (Henk) even decided to conduct the tour. He was very professional, time conscious and was very knowledgeable about Bonaire. He customized the trip based on our interests and thus per my small request he even made a pit stop to allow me to buy souvenirs. I recommend this company for a Bonaire tour. Great job Henk Transfers and Tours.

Perfect private tour - Excellent private tour for my family of three. Picked up at cruise ship terminal and dropped off downtown as requested. Terminal super close to downtown so walked back to cruise ship after. Was able to request a convenient time for pickup. No issues. Very informative.

Nice tour of small island - We learned some interesting things during our short tour of the small island with Sid. He was on time and friendly. I would have liked to have been able to spend a longer time at the beach or other location before returning to the ship (given the total cost of the tour).
