We really enjoyed this tour of Bonaire. Our guide was friendly, easy to chat with and full of interesting facts about the island. A really enjoyable tour that got the timing just right: not a rushed lap around Bonaire, and not an all-day endurance test.

Luc was very personable and passionate about Bonaire. We learned a lot, while driving around in his cool open aired van. We enjoyed all the sites, saw so many flamingos and donkeys and loved the beach stop. The salt flats were amazing. The bonus was meeting his daughter who he spoke so highly of, and helped paint his van. Highly recommend this tour especially with a group of friends. Would definitely book Luc again when back in Bonaire.
Good tour, great guide very pleasant and knowledgeable.On time very helpful with everyone getting on and off the bus. Would recommend.
If you are in Bonaire and would like to see the island in a fun and informative way book Luc’s homemade open Air private bus tour! Luc was exceptional, fun, and knowledgeable and kept us entertained for three hours. During the tour you will learn the history of Bonaire good and bad while seeing the beauty of the entire island! Flamingo’s flying in a big flock was one of the highlights, along with the free range donkeys, kite boarding, wind surfing, shipwreck diving, salt farming, and a stop at The Good Vibes bar and cantina. Luc is one of the best tour guides we have encountered.
We had 11 of us and plenty of room in the van. It was a great tour. Really got see a lot and Luc was great!
We had a fantastic experience with Luc on our private tour of Bonaire. He accommodated our entire itinerary, spent extra time to ensure we saw everything we wanted, and never made us feel rushed. His friendly personality and passion for the island made the experience more enjoyable. Highly recommend Luc to anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour in Bonaire!
Luv was great. I highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of my cruise. I think it was for the other 9 family and friends that took the tour with me. We all learn so much and had a fun time!!
Great excursion while in Bonnaire on a cruise ship. Luc took around all of the Southern areas of Bonnaire in an open air bus. Sometimes it was a little difficult to hear his narration, he would have to stop and turn to us as several of us were a little hard of hearing. All in all a wonderful morning.
This is a fun bus that he’s made into a beach cruiser— very knowledgeable about the area very helpful with my child that had a sunburn-super fun trip. I highly recommend.!
This was a fabulous trip. Everyone thought is was very informative and fun. Some had been to Bonaire before but this tour surpassed other tours. I plan tours for groups and would recommend this to all.
He really listened to us and what we wanted to see. Luk was very knowledgeable about his island. He was on time picking us up and very friendly!
Luc was an amazing tour guide! Our family of 8 had a great time. He was very thorough and made things easy to understand for our kids. I highly recommend his tour! We were even lucky enough to see flamingos and wild donkeys!
Amazing tour guided by the awesome Luc!! We couldn’t have enjoyed our southern tour of Bonaire more!! Our cruise stopped for a full day in Bonaire, and this was an easy choice to fill a few hours. Well-priced, educational, and fun! Our family includes those with different abilities, and we all felt safe, and very comfortable with Luc in his cool open-air bus tour! We’re Canadian, and speak multiple languages, including German which Luc spoke! Don’t hesitate while visiting Bonaire … definitely book this tour!
We had a great time with Luc. We traveled both the South and North tours. Luc picks us up at our cruise ship and returned us. The island is so beautiful. Luc explained everything to us and answered all our questions and we had a few stops along the way . I would highly recommend Luc and this tour to anyone going to Bonaire. Thanks Luc for such a great time!
What a fun day in Bonaire. There were 5 of us in our group and none of us had ever visited this island before. Luc picked us up right where he said he would. We got into his fun, open-air van and away we went. Luc showed us many popular tourist highlights and provided so much information. Every stop on our tour was interesting. We especially loved seeing the flamingos through the binoculars Luc provided. What a nice touch! Thanks for sharing your beautiful island with us!
This was an amazing excursion. Luc was one of the best tour guide we've ever had. It was a great way to see the island in all it's natural beauty.
Such a fun day!! The open air ride is perfect to see everything from any seat. We got to see so much and Luc was very informative and fun.
Luc was excellent, very knowledgeable of the island and so kind especially when returning items left on the bus! I would definitely do this tour again!
Very informative and fun. Luc is an excellent host and definitely aims to please. Plus, it's a really cool van.
This was amazing. Luv was prompt and communicative. He was totally knowledgeable about the island; its history but also prime viewing locations. The bus was comfy and his driving was so safe. He was fun and made this trip so memorable. If we ever return to Bonaire, we will tour with his again.
Luc was awesome! All of us (8) had a wonderful time. He is very personable and very knowledgeable about the island. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone! We will certainly book this tour again whenever we are back in Bonaire!
What a great tour of the island! Luc was so knowledgeable and made it fun! Wish we would have had a little more time at the beach but other than that it was great
Wonderful tour of Bonaire with Luc! Our group enjoyed the quick stops, beach visit, flamingos, and donkeys. Very informative and perfect duration for the tour.
If you only have one tour to take while in Bonaire, then look no further than this guy! Luc is an absolute legend, and his tour was just phenomenal! He picked us up on time, and was very quick at responding to messages. The van is super cool, with an open air concept. Luc is very professional and proud of his beautiful island of Bonaire. He gave us great insights, as well as taking us to a phenomenal lunch stop. We couldn't have asked for a better day!!
Luc was Great! This a very interesting tour. We didn’t do any snorkeling, but got to see a lot of natural wonders of Bonaire. This van is designed for comfort & he has made laminate informational sheets in pockets in front of your seat about what he is describing. He has a good speaker system so that everyone can hear as he is driving and the wind is keeping you comfortable!
Superb guide Very informative and extremely helpful Loved the painted bus Was never rushed luc was there to make our day amazing Thanks for a lovely day
An absolutely great day! Luc showed our family group such a great time during our port day in Bonaire! He is a wealth of knowledge and such a great ambassador for Bonaire. His tour was everyone’s favorite excursion for our entire cruise. We highly recommend booking him for our island tour!
We had a great day sightseeing with Luc. He was very knowledgeable about the island and it’s clear that he put a lot of thought and love into building the van he used to take us around. It was colorful, had open windows making it easy to see the sights and also had information sheets on each stop we made so we could read some info about it. We saw a lot of the island in a short amount of time - Slave hits, salt flats / mountains, flamingos, the site of the Hilma Hooker ship wreck, donkeys, etc. We had a fun day sightseeing and learned a lot about the island from Luc. Thanks for a great day!
Luc’s Bonaire Open Bus Tour was a fantastic way to see and truly learn about the island — all while enjoying the breeze on a cool, open-air bus. We highly recommend this tour! We loved the rich history, the beautiful beaches with plenty of memorable photo opportunities, and of course the donkeys — especially seeing a newborn, which was such a treat. Thank you, Luc, for making today so memorable. Happy New Year! 🥳
Wonderful experience seeing Bonaire with Luc. Communication was very easy, Luc was an expert in every sense of the word. Thoughtful touches and surprises throughout the tour which I won't share, so you can also be surprised. I organized a group with social media and there were some last-minute surprises, and he handled it with kindness and aplomb. Truly a great experience.
Luc was an excellent guide and historian! He shared so much info about the island! His vehicle was unique and fun!! We were a group of divers and we were looking for a relaxing last day on the island, Luc was loved by our entire group of 12!!
This was amazing experience for the entire family, 9 in total. Luc knows island well and had photo cards to highlight the various focal points. We highly recommend this tour and plan to contact Luc on our next visit!
We travel in a unique vehicle. The driver built it himself. Salt mines, beach, bar and the history of Bonaire. Luc has lived with his family here for 16 years
Such an amazing tour. Luc has done an outstanding job with every detail. He covers so much in about 3 hours and he shares his love of beautiful Bonaire. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour!!
My group of 8 family and friends had a great day with Luc. We chose to double the fun and booked a full day with Luc. Our ship changed port dates due to Hurricane Melissa and we were fortunate that Luc could still accommodate us. Great communication at all times. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and got to see everything we wanted.
Luc was fantastic! Tour of south side of island with background/perspective. Snorkeling was great! Water/views/stops. Private open air ride is perfect.
The drive of the island was what I expected it would be. It allowed us to see the landscape with guidance from Luc. We went with our children which was okay, but I would probably not recommend to families with very small children as they lose their attention and there is a lot of time traveling. The travel is open air so if air conditioning is a must, you might want to go with a different transport.
Awesome time! Great tour! We had my grabdparents with us who are very slow movers. He was very understanding and helped get them in and out.
Very informative and fun. Relaxing with friends and family. Luc was amazing. Seen lots of flamingos and learned about Bonaire.
Great tour Luc was the best made the tour fun don't miss this one folks.. the bus was cool and guide knowledgeable
Great guide. Fun vehicle. Interesting tour. Good information presented in an engaging manner. Loved seeing the salt flats
One of the most memorable tours on Bonaire. Luc shares his passion and love for the people, culture, history, flora & fauna in a unique tour - comfortable ride, nonstop laughs, photo stops! My son and I loved everything about this tour! Also, excellent customer service and communication during booking.
Absolutely recommend Luc and his open air bus! He was so knowledgeable and the extra touches (like the information cards, story of the bus, the history, and great photo ops). He made sure we had a great time taking in the sights and sounds of Bonaire! Thank you again Luc! You ROCKED!!
The tour was amazing, informative and adaptable which was great for my multigenerational group with varying attention spans.
The BEST way to see Bonaire! We did a day trip for Curacao and only had 4 hours. Luc packed in all the hot spots, we didn’t feel rushed, and had the BEST time. Luc is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the island and it shows. Will definitely be back to Bonaire and pay a visit to Luc!
This tour is more personable takes you to the sites you must see. Very knowledgeable and you can tell her loves this piece of paradise
Luc is a wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable guide and my family and I had such a good time touring Bonaire with him! He made sure we saw beaches, historical sites, nature sites, and tourist attractions. His knowledge of the island was impressive and we learned a lot. He made frequent stops for pictures and also stopped at a lovely, beachside restaurant so we could have something to eat. The tour ended with a stop at a beautiful beach for swimming and snorkeling. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience!
Luc met us at our port. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the Island of Bonaire. The bus was very cool. Luc had cards in the seat pockets for us to look at with more detail of the places we would see on our tour. We also stopped at this bar and we got to go in the water at the beach that was right there. It was a great tour!
Excellent tour, Luc is very knowledgeable as he has lived on the island for many years. Not only did he explain what we were seeing but each seat comes with picture cards also explaining the area for each stop that is made. He made it very easy for us to find him at the port and the tour was well worth the amount of money we paid. We absolutely enjoyed and highly recommend this tour.
After researching we found Luc and couldn’t have been happier. He worked with us on our desired itinerary and was sooo accommodating. He made sure to give us plenary of time for snorkeling at the end and made sure we were back to the ship in time. Luc is knowledgeable about his beloved Bonair. So informative. So happy and satisfied we found him.
