This tour is unique because this is a private tour for you and your family alone. You will be with a local and get a local experience, including drinks and a small local taste.
This tour is not an ordinary tour like the others on the Island. We will show you 28 points of interest.
You will see all the major sites and highlights and experience local neighborhoods to sample snacks and drinks native to this region.
Because of this tour's minor group nature, you can ask questions and make custom requests if there’s something you want to see.
This tour is very flexible. Time allows, and we’ll do all we can to make this trip memorable for you and your group!
At the end of the tour, you will get a local appreciation from us.
That is a private personal tour.
If you are only one person, don't hesitate to contact shekhinahtours directly.

5.00Our guide arrived promptly to begin our island tour. Daniel was very knowledgeable about Bonaire and we were able to see the natural habitat of flamingos, donkeys, sea turtles, and many birds. Some cats too! The salt flats were amazing, with white foam floating in the air! Seeing the slave huts near the salt flats and hearing about their life was both educational and emotional. Traveling to the higher area of the island gave us a fabulous view! I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00We had an amazing tour with Daniel! He was a great tour guide. Pickup was on time and right at the port. We hit all of important spots and learned a lot of history. We lucked into seeing lots of parrots! Also saw wild Flamingoes, goats, cats, roosters, donkeys, sea turtle, pelican and a peacock! Loved the pink salt fields and the gift at the end of the tour. Highly recommend this tour with Daniel as your guide!

5.00This was such a great tour. It was only the 4 of us on a mini van. Our guide Rasine was wonderful. She taught us a lot about the island. I would highly recommend this tour. Rasine was very friendly.

5.00This tour included all the sights we wanted to see and our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Bonaire. Absolutely loved this tour and would highly recommend especially for families with kids who want to see the island in the AC!

2.00We were very disappointed with this experience. First, the guides showed up 20 minutes late to our meeting spot. We had arrived early and waited, watching other guides from the same company come and go with their guests, which made us feel forgotten. I had booked this private tour months in advance, expecting a personalized and informative experience. When we finally met our “guides,” we learned they were the owner or manager’s parents. While they were kind, it quickly became clear they were not professional tour guides. The experience felt more like a taxi service than a tour—there was very little information shared about Bonaire, and most of their conversation was between themselves. At two of the stops, we were left waiting in the car for over five minutes while our driver chatted with other guides. With only one day in Bonaire, every moment counts, and this felt like a waste of our limited time. To top it off, we even dropped his wife off at their home on the way back to the ship. While the couple was very sweet, this was not the informative, engaging private tour we paid for. We specifically book private tours to learn about the history and culture of the places we visit, and unfortunately, this fell far short of expectations.
Fantastic Trip

5.00If you're looking for a private tour, I highly recommend this one. The guide was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Since it's a private tour, there's also some flexibility to customize the schedule, which was a great bonus.
