An experienced guide will lead you to Bonaire's wildly beautiful East side on this tour. Often missed by tourists, the island's east side has breathtaking views of crashing waves hitting the rocky coast, cliff-like cave corals, "Bocas" or mouths of the sea, and unobstructed views. Numerous boats ship-wrecked on this side of the island before a lighthouse was put in place, and there's proof that native Indians inhabited some of the cliff coves at one point.

Your guide will take you to one such cove and show you Indian inscriptions that are believed to be markings of the Arawak Indians. They have been dated back to at least the 15th century.

Our next stop will be Boca Onima, where you can feel the power of the waves surging against Bonaire's shore and view the wind turbines crucial in supplying energy to the land. Just be sure to hold on to your hat!

Throughout this journey, your guide will point out nature and history and tell you about Bonaire culture.

    We stood exactly where the directions told us to stand and they never picked us up. We saw several other employees from their company so they were around. We told one employee a d he said he didn't have wifi so couldn't call. I called twice, left a message, and texted back. They made sure to send us emails and texts that our trip was happening and even sent this link for the review but nothing else.We need to be contacted and receive a full refund, ASAP.

    Sandra was a fabulous tour guide. We were able to see some very beautiful parts of Bonaire not usually seen by cruise guests. Meeting point directions were easy to follow and she literally met us across the street from Security gate. Would highly recommend doing this tour. We did the afternoon tour so we did an excursion with ship including beach time in the morning. Got a quick bite to eat and had a lovely afternoon tour. Highly recommend Sandra!!!

  • Fun, fun tour!

    Very nice and cozy tour! Besides the Indian Inscriptions, Renny showed us a lot more of the island. Sarah was also there, among other things to take pictures. Great, thank you both!
