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.

We 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.

Lucy 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

Tour guide was exceptional. We toured the island and saw donkeys, flamingos, slave huts, salt flats, lighthouse and beach. I saw lots of divers, windsurfers, kite surfers and fisherman. Plenty of great photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend.
The right way to meet a new place.

The three hour island tour surpassed all if my expectations. The guide Sharon provided all the English/ American/ Canadian tourists with all the essential information. The tour stopped at all the key places..we saw the iconic pink flamingos, the salt mines, amazing beaches and slave huts. Sharon' s knowledge of the island was amazing. She was passionate about nature and provided us with many facts about the local wild life, trees and she knew the location of the turtles and pink flamingos. The timing of each key sight was perfect and the three hour excursion ended right on time. The driver was very safe and the coach was spotless. This 3 hour extravaganza was excellent value for money and the beauty of this island was captured in the three hour duration.

The bus was crowded, uncomfortable, and warm. Many times, the driver did not indicate which side of the bus to look out at something interesting to see.

Toured the south end of island. Saw salt flats, slave huts, and ended at Sorobon—beautiful resort. We had an afternoon excursion so it was a bit annoying that we didn’t leave right on time. Seemed to be selling the tour to others as we waited—possibly for less than we paid. Our driver was great and showed us flamingoes and donkeys along the way.
Take this tour!

Oliver did a great job with the small group of 7 people. Perfectly paced & on time. Only negative was that it was super hot outside. I would do this again!
