Slave Huts at White Pan

Our 2-hour tour began with Elgin picking us up at the cruise port with a sign so we knew we were going with the correct guide. He gave us tons of history about Bonaire, answered all questions we had, stopped along the route anywhere we wanted to stop to take pictures, and even backed up along the route so I could photograph some flamingos. His car was clean and his English was great! Elgin explained the process of making the salt and we made a quick stop to gather a piece of the salt as a souvenir & a freshly-sqeezed juice! I can't say enough about Elgin's professionalism and kindness. We felt safe with him the whole time and I would be 100% confident he would care for your party has he did for ours.
