Highlights
  • Bonaire Cruise Port - Here we will start our tours when you arrive by cruise ship. We will meet you 15 minutes before your tour departure time to ensure we start our tour on time. When you exit your ship, please walk to the security gate (there will be only one security gate) and look straight ahead, where you will see a sign saying Internet booking. We will be standing there with your name on paper. If you are from a Hotel or Apartment, we will pick you up at your apartment or in the lobby at your hotel.

After the tour, you can feel free to be dropped off in Kralendijk, where you will be able to do some shopping and walk around. If you are from the ship, Kralendijk is only a 5 or 1 min walk away from your ship where the cruise ship ports are.

  • Harbour Village Marina - That is where we have boats coming in for shelter when big waves come toward the Island.

  • Goto Zout- en Flamingomeer - Here you see the beautiful scenery of the flamingo in the background and the tallest hill on the island called Brandaris. Here you will not get out of the car since it is a reserved area for the flamingoes, and we are not allowed to let our guests get out of the vehicle, but you will be able to take pictures of the Flamingoes while your tour guide is driving. Depending on the day, you will see the flamingoes very close up; sometimes, they are far away.

  • Slave Huts at White Pan - Here you will see the Slaves Huts, where you will be able to experience how the enslaved people were working on the Island and where they were sleeping during the week. We’ll be taking some time talking about the corals.

An Excellent Tour of Bonaire! - This was a really good tour. My wife and I wanted a tour that would take us around the entire island hitting all of the highlights, and this tour did just that. Our tour guide, Miguel, was very knowledgeable and he did a great job. Since it was a small group, there was a lot of one-on-one interaction, and everyone felt comfortable asking questions. It was a very informative experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. And to top it off, we were in a brand-new van with excellent air-conditioning!

Explore the entire island in 3 hours - Quick way to explore the majority of the island. Hit all the main points in under 3 hours. If you’re looking to do more than sightseeing then this is not the tour for that.

Island overview - The excellent narrative provided by guide (Rosalind?) and seeing much of the island. Since the beaches are so small and ROCKY, this was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
