This is downtown Bonaire. Via the Kaya Grandi we drive to the North side of the Island. We tell you everthing about the History, Culture, Flora and Fauna. After the tour, you can be dropped off in Kralendijk, where you will be able to do some shopping and walk around. If you are from the ship, Kralendijk is only a 5 or 1 min walk away from your ship where the cruise ship ports are.
Are there really 1000 steps? We will count them. There is a beautiful view over the Caribbean sea to 'Klein Bonaire'.
Here we will share the history of when the enslaved people were living on Bonaire, and you will see the building where the women and the children were staying during the week while the man continued going to the south side of the Island.
Gotomeer is a brakish water lagoon. Where the beautiful flamingo's hangout and nest. We stop here at an observation area to overlook the lagoon and Washington Slagbaai National Park beyond.
Rincon is one of the most ancient towns in Bonaire. This town was built to prevent pirate attacks.
Seru Largu means 'large hill'. From the top you can see the capital city of Kralendijk and the little island of Klein Bonaire. There is a monument witch reads in the Papiamentu language as "Kristu Ayera Awe Semper" which means "Christ, Yesterday, Today and Forever.
This is a private tour where we see all the highlights. We stop when and where ever you want. We are certified guides that can tell everything you want to know about this beautiful island. A personal touch is where we stand for.
Extremely fun and interesting tour. The 1x1 experience with Kirsten was awesome, she is extremely personable, attentive, and knowledgeable. She even went out of her way to show us some of the lesser known local spots specific to our interests. Can’t recommend her enough and we will absolutely be doing the south tour when we are back next year!
We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Private Guided Tours Bonaire! Our guide Kirsten was amazing — friendly, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. She made the whole tour feel personal and fun, not just informative. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to see Bonaire. Highly recommend booking with Kirsten if you want a memorable, well-guided adventure. We’ll definitely be back!
After our excellent experience with her private snorkeling tour we decided to book the private north island tour as well. And again a marvellous experience. Kirsten was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, sharing a lot of history, but also making it a lot of fun. No bus crowds, just a very personal and relaxed experience. The perfect mix of highlights, local insights, and a comfortable pace.
Absolutely top notch tour of Bonaire by a very knowledgeable and personable guide who knew the island very well. Highly recommend!
My family and I took the North Island tour with Kirsten and it was amazing. We saw lots of wildlife, an Osprey, Warawara (bird of prey), parrots, lots of flamingoes (even up close) and iguanas. OMG, we traveled along this road right after a short rain and there must have been at least 30 iguanas along a short stretch of road. They must have been looking to cool off. Kirsten was very accommodating. She modified her pickup point to be in town (we arrived on a cruise) and even changed the start time so that we wouldn’t be rushed to catch our final boarding time. I can't say enough of how welcoming and friendly Kirsten was. If you're planning on traveling to Bonaire, I highly recommend you hire Kirsten as your personal tour guide!
Marco was amazing! He told all kinds of history about the island took us to so many places! Amazing tour! Just book it!
Kirsten was a terrific guide! She was knowledgeable and friendly and took just the right amount of time to show us the North Shore sights. We had a great time!
Our tour guide Sas was wonderful and even made necessary adjustments since I just had surgery. She is very caring and full of knowledge. Highly recommend
Amazing tour with Kirsten. She was funny, friendly and informative. We never felt pressured to make a stop or leave a place, she let us set the pace and the destinations. She took us places we would not have gotten to on our own. We had an amazing day.
The tour we did with Kirsten was really interesting and we saw beautiful parts of the island. Kirsten knows a lot and is very friendly and a good driver :-)
My sister arranged a private island tour for myself and my mother when we docked in Bonaire during a week-long cruise. Kirsten was wonderfully warm, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw. We were able to cover both the north and the south parts of the island that day. Kirsten picked us up at the cruise port and narrated our visit with all sorts of interesting facts about the history of the island, the flora/fauna, and the people. I'm so glad we had this experience! Thank you, Kirsten!
Kirsten gave us a super tour of the island last minute! All relevant places with accompanying information, enough background and all in a cozy setting that suits her, the island and the tour! 100% a tip for anyone who wants to see the island (and you do!)
Great tour. This was one of the best tours I've ever done. Everything went smoothly and professionally. Kirsten created a warm atmosphere and really knew how to tell something interesting about everything. You notice that there is passion and knowledge behind it. The stops were beautiful and well-timed: not in a hurry, but also not a moment of boredom. An ideal way to explore the north. I would 100% book this tour again!
Wonderful tour I really enjoyed the North Tour. It didn’t feel rushed anywhere and Kirsten talked about Bonaire in a calm, pleasant way. Especially the small stops along the way, places I would never go myself, made it special for me. It was a relaxing day with beautiful views and a good atmosphere. I would do this tour again in no time.
What a special experience this was! Kirsten always took extensive time to stop so that we would not miss anything. She knows a lot about the island and likes to share it with us, very interesting all!
It was a special experience. The lake with flamingos was amazing and very special. Kirsten has substantive knowledge about the island of Bonaire and her guidance during this tour was super fun.
The tour of North Bonaire was really beautiful. Kirsten has shown us the best places on the island. From cactus drinks to iguanas! We just had a great time. The tour is much more personal and you can choose where you want to go. If you want to look somewhere a little longer or shorter, that's no problem. We would recommend this tour to anyone, you just really have to do it. Greetings from Jens and Lieke, Moi mien jong;)
Kirsten picked us up at the apartment and showed us all the beautiful places of north binary. The tour was very informative and very pleasant, Because it is a private tour Kirsten effortlessly adapted the tour to our interests, she took beautiful pictures of us and at our request we had a delicious goat-stew at a "locals" restaurant. We really enjoyed this day and definitely recommend this tour!
Definitely do; both the North and South routes. We have seen a lot of the island. Kirsten knows where to find the special places, takes your time, you can indicate where you want to stop. Absolutely do! This way you can be sure that you have seen (almost) everything of this beautiful island.
