This tour begins in Kralendijk, our capital. Due to the natural coral structure all around the island, Kralendijk is also known as "coral dike." The highlights on the south of Bonaire is rich in history and beauty, with spectacular ocean views and historical architecture. As you explore and take in the sights, your local guide will give information on the region's nature, economy, and landmarks. We will stop to take photos at the Salt flats, White or Yellow Slave Huts also the lighthouse. As you travel along and pass by the big salt hills that have been a part of Bonaire's history since the 17th century on our way to the Sorobon Beach for a beach break. The entire island of Bonaire is a protected marine park, and Sorobon Beach is situated in the center of it. A bay hidden amongst mangrove trees will take your breath away. Water up to your knees runs as far as the eye can see. The seagrass pastures attract a variety of sea life, so don't be shocked if a turtle passes by slowly.

3.00Long ride in mini-van. Some interesting stops but too long. Salt farming slave sheds very small. Must have been difficult experience for slaves.
Tour transportation terrible!

3.00Frankly the van they stuff you in is hot and very small and uncomfortable. Please give these people some money to upgrade transportation. It’s an embarrassment to them and you! Other than that your was fine.

5.00We arrived in the cruise port that same morning and the instructions given to find the meeting point was spot on, they were right outside the terminal under the small colourful tents wearing orange t-shirts . Lucy our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We toured the north and south of the island, stopping at numerous places of interest including a salt mine, the slave huts and a Rincon village. For me personally I found this thought provoking and sentimental. I asked Lucy for some restaurant recommendations for local food which we visted and thoroughly enjoyed. Our tour lasted 3 hours, the bus had AC, and we had a great time.

5.00We took this tour in July of 2025. It was amazing. The guides were great, and they showed us all around the beautiful island of Bonaire. At each stop, we had time to take photos. I would 100% recommend this tour.

5.00Lucy was sweet and our Driver was very informative and patient. Loved all the stops to see the slave huts, salt making, flamingos and donkeys and the beach. We would’ve stayed if the beach wasn’t so crowded.
Awesome Bonaire
