To look for Flamingo’s. - Slave Huts at Orange Pan - These huts were built in 1850 during the slavery era and served as a camp site for slaves, who worked at the salt pans in order to collect and ship salt, one of Bonaire’s primary export products. These huts were used as sleeping areas and places for storing personal belongings. Every Friday afternoon, the slaves walked for 7 hours from Rincon to spend the weekend with their families, to return on Sunday. Four Obelisks on Bonaire were used as landmarks to show incoming ships the way. The obelisks were painted red, white, blue and orange (the colors of the Dutch flag). - Salt Pier - The south of the island of Bonaire is host to the famous salt flats & mounts. An area where Cargill has been operating since 1997 producing some of the purest salts in the world Using the salt, the sea and winds of Bonaire, the salt accumulated in the impressive mounds of crystals is produced. The Salt pyramids of Bonaire can be seen when arriving either by sea or by air, each of those is roughly 50-feet high and contains approximately 10,000 metric tons of 99.6% pure salt. As you drive along south road, you will notice the different colors of the water, turning into an intense pink color. - Private Guided Tours Bonaire - Last stop is the snorkeling tour. We are in the water for approximately 1 hour. I give a short briefing of what we are going to do.

Fantastic tour - What a fantastic and surprising experience it was. We were neatly picked up at our hotel with a very comfortable car. First viewed a large part of the island where you can stop whenever you want to take beautiful pictures. Meanwhile, Kirsten told us all about the island. From history to the present. You notice that she really knows a lot about the history and customs. Her enthusiasm is also beautiful to see. After the tour we went snorkeling. That underwater world is beautiful here. Kirsten also knows a lot about all kinds of fish and coral. In addition, she takes beautiful photos underwater that you can take with you as a beautiful memory. Finally, we were dropped off at our hotel. Overall, a fantastic experience with Kirsten as a great tour guide. Highly recommended!!!

Book this tour! - Kirsten was amazing! The communication was great all the way from booking the tour to finishing it. She was very prompt to pick us up at the cruise port and got us back with plenty of time. The tour of the south side of the island was very informative, and the snorkeling was beautiful. The pictures she took turned out great. I highly recommend booking tours with Kirsten and Private Guided Tours Bonaire.

Discover the magical underwater world - Our island tour was really cool! Discovered beautiful places and received information that we did not know about the island. But for us, snorkeling was really the most beautiful thing to experience. Because neither of us had ever snorkeled before, we found it a bit exciting, but Kisten took his time and reassured us. The underwater world is truly fantastic to discover. So one highly recommended👌

Flamingos - Great excursion to finish our cruise. Kiite is very personable and her knowledge of Bonaire throughout the tour is exceptional. It is part history lesson, site seeing and chance to touch the island culture. Well worth it.

A Must Southside Adventure in Bonaire - Wow, had an amazing South Island land and Snorkel 🤿 tour with Kirsten. Kirsten was such a joy to to be with and passionate about the history and culture of Bonaire. We loved the tour of the southside of the island checking out the wind surfers 🏄, kite 🪁boarders, the lighthouse, the flamingos 🦩, salt fields, and of course taking in the "Big 5" and learning how the beautiful white sands are made and replenished. After exploring the land it was time to dive in and explore the wonders of Bonaire's marine life. Wow, even on a windy day where the water is a bit more turbulent the visibility was still excellent. Kirsten took us to her secret spot where the coral reefs 🪸 were teaming with schools of fish 🐠 🐡🐟 and even had the surprise chance of seeing an octopus! Next time visiting Bonaire 🇧🇶 in the West Indies, I do recommend calling Kirsten up to take you on a tour of the Southside and snorkel trip. 😀

Experience Bonaire with a local - An excellent way to spend our time in Bonaire. Kirsten tailored the trip to our interests - allowing for time for our skilled photographer traveling companions to get the perfect shots. She shared interesting stories of the history and current events on Bonaire. We finished our tour with a snorkel in one of our guide's favourite spots. Kirsten took great care to ensure we enjoyed our day and were safe in the water especially because there were high winds and a strong current that day.

Awesome private snorkel Bonaire! - Kirsten and Siike were fabulous! They took us around and showed us the high points of Bonaire then we went snorkeling. They took their time, explained what to do and showed us how to use our gear. Then the fun began! They were awesome! I will definitely book again when we go back to Bonaire!
