About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- JohnpancakeZ0 contributionsGood tour, crammed in a van.The tour was good and covered a large section of the island, showing off its beauty. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, providing a lot of information and answering questions. On the downside, 8 people plus the tour guide were crammed into a medium size van. I shared the front seat with my wife where I had no leg room - most American couples would not fit in the space we shared. The tour did not offer pop, only water and did not stop at all the sites indicated. It also started 30 minutes late. The people in the back row of the van could not hear the tour guide most of the time while driving.Written 6 February 2025
- GMH1530 contributionsA quick tour of the islandWe went with Janie and Pop on this tour. We went to the salt flat slave housing saw a few flamingos and to a beach bar for a beverageWritten 31 January 2025
- nancybrekke10 contributionsIt’s the way to see the best spots!The guide picked us up at the hotel which was extremely convenient. He was very informative about the island and history. I loved learning all about the history of Bonaire, the incredible buildings and industry.Written 21 January 2025
- Carlabay0 contributionsGreat overview of BonaireEnjoyable road trip from one end of Bonaire to the other! Resine was an excellent, knowledgeable guide, showing us all the important landmarks and telling us the history of the island. Communication with the office about pickup was great, and appreciated.Written 13 January 2025
- 16tinac0 contributionsLovely tour with a great guideGreat tour of the entire island - We loved our tour guide Michael! He took us all over Bonaire and filled us in on facts and history. He was willing to stop anywhere we wanted a picture and helped us find the flamingos and other sites we asked to see. He got us back to the ship on time.Written 13 January 2025

- ScottyTravelsalot0 contributions$408 StolenRipped us off. No tour no money back. Trying to contact him for a refund and he blocked me. Guys name is Ephraim. Do not use this company.Written 3 January 2025
- S4865QJcharless0 contributionsNot as advertisedThe tour was not as advertised. The guide was inexperienced and unfamiliar with the aspects of the tour. The vehicle’s sliding door did not open. The lunch was not as described. There was no offer or location for snorkeling. People who plan to go should know that the roads are very rough. Our guide was friendly and caring, just not qualified.Written 31 December 2024
- jenniferhG9711AS0 contributionsWe had the best time with Renny and Arturo for the cave tour.We had the best time! Renny and Arturo were excellent guides. We learned a lot, felt safe, and truly felt this was the highlight of our trip. We felt like old friends with the guides by the end, and actually hated to leave! The caves were incredible and swimming in them was the highlight! Please please please provide them with new and updated flashlights. Maybe some for the head? Holding a light that kept going off or flashing wasn’t the best, but they gave us theirs and we did great. They do need new ones though!Written 30 December 2024
- Explore2746260 contributionsBeach day BonaireThe company was super accommodating and responsive to all our questions and scheduling concerns. They were easy to find when we needed them and they were incredibly timely. We didn’t have to wait or search. I would highly recommend using them. No hassle and a great experience overallWritten 29 December 2024
- ScottyTravelsalot0 contributionsHad to Contact the Police. Stay clear. Guy is a Scam ArtistThe tour operator is a scam artist. He canceled and refused to return our money. Trip advisor has done NOTHING to help us. They just keep sending our complaints back to the scam operator. We checked with the hotel and they confirmed this tour company, run by a guy named Ephraim, has a reputation for stealing money from guests. I was advised to file a complaint with the police - which I did. The police are now investigating this company as a fraudulent company that is giving the island a bad reputation. The police were very helpful even called the scumbag while I was there. He claimed to the police that Travel Advisor was holding my money. Meanwhile Travel Advisor keeps asking me how my trip was despite me telling them we never got the tour. He claims he gave us the tour. Not only should you stay clear of this operator, you should consider booking with a legit agency. Travel Advisor is not legit if you have an issue. NEVER EVER again.Written 29 December 2024
- JillianH3530 contributionsAwesome adventure and incredible guides!!Just amazing! Our incredible guides Renny and Arturo were super knowledgeable and made us feel extremely safe and taken care of. It’s dark and hot and a little creepy inside the caves, but unbelievably awesome and 200% worth seeing! They expertly assisted our descent into, climbing around inside of, and ascent out of (with ropes and handholds and greatly appreciated hand pulling) all three caves. And they’re both lovely humans to boot - we had so much fun exploring with them. Thank you thank you to them both for making our experience on Bonaire so wonderful 🩷🩷 If I could make one suggestion it would be for better flashlights - they’re not very powerful and don’t stay lit consistently. But truly no complaints!Written 28 December 2024
- P1885UCbrendah0 contributionsBonaire Cave TourRenny was our tour guide and he was fantastic! He arrived on time at the pick up location. It was just the two of us. We always felt safe going down inside the caves with Renny. The first cave was hot inside, 110 F or so, had bats in one area, a lot of stalagmites and stalactites. We didn't spend much time inside this cave but had time for a great look around. The second cave was very interesting, also with bats and stalagmites and stalactites. The third cave was amazing! We climbed down a rope, with flashlights. After a short hike there was a beautiful cool (not cold), refreshing pool of water that we snorkeled, swam, floated around and relaxed in, and looked at the formations. There were tiny shrimp and fish in the water. Renny pointed out many interesting and funny formations. Such a fun tour! Highly recommend the tour and Renny as the guide. Thank you again Renny!Written 28 December 2024
- HLW2000 contributionsWe negotiated a private tour from the cruiseport cab/tour tent at Kralendijk. Fabulous!Arrived at the Bonaire “cruisehaven” dock on the ms Rotterdam. No hurry so to avoid the rush of people with “plans” for the day. Wife and I found the cab stand offering a tour going either north or south. There was a canopy tent along the main street (kaya CFB Helmund). I think the tours were advertised as two hours $50 US. We were not interested in a canned "drive by" ride on the island. I explained that we wanted to go with a driver born and raised on the island, proud to show it to us and understand our “stop here” for photo requests. We wanted to drive along the diving coast to Goto Meer {flamingos in the wild), Then to the museum at Washington Slagbaai National Park (whale skeleton, cultural displays). To Rincon (Bonair’s oldest town) for a visit of The Cadushy Distillery and a taste of their fabulous rum. The WW II air base and a stop at the island’s highest elevation were also on our list. Also, photo “targets of opportunity” we knew would be found in the cactus landscape. After a lively discussion between the dispatcher and a driver (in Papiamentu mostly undecipherable by me) discussing extras to be charged for our requests…..the dispatcher, Felix, became our driver. Felix made sure we saw his island and heard his love for the land, people and history. I’m not sure how often he takes folks like us, but it was certainly the highlight of our cruise ports. Hundreds of flamingos at the meer, wild donkeys everywhere in the landscape. Felix was a Master of Plant varieties and uses. He coordinated the reconstruction of the museum's whale skeleton. A cave diver of wide experience and a willing teller of both the history and sagas of his homeland of ~~70 years. I know we got a long interesting tour worth every penny plus the bottle of Cadushy Rum! Go, make some memories.Written 27 December 2024

We booked this tour through Viator.com (We liked it a lot. There is no penalty for cancellation, there is no need to make advance payments for the reservation, modifications can be made online and are quoted at the time, good customer service via WhatsApp, etc.)
The company gave us very good service, with the guide Renny. The tour is very well organized, having 9 stops and 28 points that you pass through, which are commented on.
