Cave Tour with Local Guide
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
You will be visiting 3 of the remarkable caves here on the Island together with a Native or Local tour guide. We will pick you up at the ship's port or your hotel or apartment. Transportation from and to your accommodation is covered.
The caves are located on the North side of the Island. One at the entrance of Santa Barbara and one just down the road at Hill Top; we will stop at the second Cave. This area is rich in caves.
The first Cave we will be visiting has a ladder you must climb to get into Cave. When you are in the Cave, there will be bats and many unique rocks.
When you are in the Cave, you will see a lot of types of limestones, as you can see in the pictures, and some of the rocks look like they have gliders on them because when you shine your light or flashlight on them, they start glowing.
If you like cliff jumping, we will be visiting a small and low cliff jumping after the cave tour. It is enjoyable!!!! :) The ridge is not high at all, and everyone can jump from it.

1.00The tour guide Arturo was amazing. This company charged me twice the amount because I was a solo traveler. I was the only other person on the tour. I will not be using their services again. If they are able to refund the extra amount and charge me a fair price I may reconsider.
An unforgettable adventure with Mar – Cave exploration & snorkeling in Bonaire

5.00An unforgettable adventure with Mar – Cave exploration & snorkeling in Bonaire We were a small group of four and had an amazing time! Our guide Mar was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt safe at all times. The caves are impressive but very humid and warm. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent won’t last long because you’ll sweat a lot. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as the paths inside the caves can be slippery. The highlight was the third cave: we could swim and snorkel there. Mar swam far inside with us – an incredible experience! Tip: Bring a waterproof phone case or a camera – it’s absolutely worth it. Overall: A fantastic adventure for nature and action lovers. Highly recommended! ----------------- We were a small group of four people and had a great time!

Tip: A waterproof protective case for your phone or a camera is definitely worthwhile here. All in all: A great adventure for those who love nature and action. Highly recommended!
Stunning views of natural, untouched caves

5.00I’ve been in other caves before, but these were so much better than I expected. They were truly natural caves and had not been commercialized in any way. Absolutely awesome! The guide, Arturo, was very informative about the wonders that we were seeing and in helping us maneuver the terrain. If you like seeing caves, you should not miss these.
Owner of the donkey shelter thinks it's scammers

- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Tour is not given by an employee or a partner of the shelter. The "tour-guide" only drives around, gives little or wrong information. Even though we paid in advance, he tried to make us pay the entrance once more. The owner of the shelter also told us that the entrance ticket we received by mail from shekhinah tours, is not a valid entrance ticket. Our tour guide still had to buy the entrance tickets. We thought part of the cost would benefit the donkey shelter. But unfortunately they don't get anything from the tour operator. Except for the entrance fee. Owner of the donkey shelter thinks it's scammers Just because of that fact, only 1 star.
Definitely recommended

5.00Beyond all expectations. Visited three caves and an unforgettable experience richer. A combination of some effort, tension and relaxation. Effort to get into the caves, tension because we are going to see the bats. And relax while snorkeling in the last cave and experience how quiet it is there. The dripstone formations are beautiful and our guide Renny gave away a beautiful musical show. You can also see fossils including the brain coral. The bats showed themselves too. Just like the fish and the lobsters. Thank you Renny for your explanation, information during the trip about the tourist tree and your fun humor during the trip.
