The center of Kralendijk we visit local residential areas. With explanations about daily life, history and culture. You will experience unblocked views and continuous photo opportunities.
The Salt Pyramids of Bonaire can be seen when arriving either by sea or by air, each of those is roughly 50-feet high and contains approximately 10,000 metric tons of 99,6% pure salt. If we drive along the south road, you will notice the different colours of the water, turning into intense pink colour. I'll tell you all about it on our South Tour.
A natural paradise without habitation with wonderful views over the old salt pan, the plantation house and the white slave houses.
We stop here to see the Salve Huts. I am going to tell you all about the history.
Bonaire's first lighthouse was built in 1837. Locals stop here to collect pieces of driftwood that washed ashore.
This is the windsurf centre of Bonaire. It is very relaxed and laid back. And also beautiful to watch the windsurfers giving a show.
The Pekelmeer (Salt Lake) Flamingo Sanctuary is one of only four areas in the world where Flamingo's breed. This is a protected area. However we will see Flamingo's during the tour and stop to make photo's whenever you want.

Excellent experience! Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island’s history and attractions. She made sure we were able to see everything we requested and more. Would highly recommend this company.
Excellent service and made sure we were well taken care of and cost was excellent
Amazing company to deal with! Will pick you up and drop you off very close to the cruise port! Can’t say enough good things about this company and the owner Kristen. Just book it!
It was very personal and a great day. Got to see the salt flats, the old slave quarter’s, light house, donkeys, flamingo’s a beach and never rushed. She was very friendly and it was a great afternoon tour to end our day in Bonaire.
Visiting Bonaire is my favorite thing to do and booking my VIP Trip with Kirsten is my second favorite thing. The tours with Private Guided Tours Bonaire consistently stand out as the highlight of my visit, never failing to impress. Knowing that I will explore the best sites in Bonaire is invaluable. Thank you, Kirsten, for another amazing tour!
Kirsten is knowledgeable of her island. I came to Bonaire 🇧🇶 for my bday as a quick get away. I went on this tour my actual birthday International Women’s Day. Kirsten has a heart of gold. She took pics with us got us salt from the pier, bought water. I can go on and on. Now I would say she’s a private tour up to 4 ppl but that’s the best bc she creates an intimate experience. Price decent as well.
What a beautiful island and the most wonderful hostess, Josie!! This was a birthday trip for my boyfriend and Josie made it a party, even decorated her Jeep ❤️ We arrived by cruise ship and from start to finish this island tour was dreamy. We saw wild goats, donkeys and of course flamingos 🦩 Not only was the tour fantastic but they even made us dinner reservations to finish off the day. Ultimately we couldn’t have asked for more and can’t wait to return and explore the north side of Bonaire!
Private Guided Tours Bonaire was easy to schedule and always informative before the excursion. Saskia (our guide) was awesome. She adapted to our vibes and inputs and curated a great experience. She made us comfortable and kept us engaged.
What a great trip! I would Definitely recommend to explore Bonaire beautiful island so much history and Kirsten is so knowledgeable. Driving in her comfortable car and be able to stop if we saw something worth taking a picture is priceless!
Marco gave us the best tour of Bonaire. He was on time, so knowledgeable. He truly loves Bonaire and shared so much of the history and traditions on the island with us. He was able to show us the flamingoes, donkeys and goats that roam free on the island. Marco answered all of our questions. We would highly recommend Marco for any tour !!
Marco excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide/driver in comfortable SUV. Was really an ecology emphasized tour because of Bonaire’s topography Marco knew his stuff. Definitely recommend. Just don’t be like some people we saw invading the off limits flamingo sanctuary but I guess there are always some rude and selfish people who travel. Good tour with most pleasant guide. Ask for Marco
Marco was fantastic! He was friendly, professional and extremely informative. My wife and I would highly recommend him for any tour of your choosing.
Kirsten is a big reason that Bonaire has now become our favorite new island destination! Both her knowledge and SUNNY PERSONALITY have hugely enriched our two recent trips to the island . With her, we have done South Island, North Island plus several snorkeling tours and all have been extremely memorable. We have gone from the dramatic Atlantic coast, to inland lakes and Indian petroglyphs to the pink salt flats and flocks of flamingos in the south . In Rincon, at a distillery, we were so thrilled to see three bright green parrots and other tropical birds in the courtyard trees while we were sipping local rum! One of the most dazzling sights I have seen in my life was at SOROBON, where rainbow-hued wind surfers raced across the many shades of pale blue water. Kirsten showed us the historic slave huts on our way to a terrific snorkel at Pink Beach. A tremendous perk is the fantastic photos that Kirsten will take of your experiences together, on land and undersea. At Pink Beach, only Kirsten spotted a Spotted Moray Eel and now we have photos of that magical moment ! Kirsten simply loves meeting people and sharing with them the Bonaire she loves. She will put a personal spin on your travel experience and it will utterly transform your vacation ! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!!
For my holiday in Bonaire I booked several trips with Kirsten and they wereld all excellent. The snorkel tour was so great I booked a second one. She takes the time to get you comfortable in the water and shows you everything there is to see in the beautiful underwater world. I also had the pleasure to go on two eiland tours with Kirsten. One tour to the south side of the island with the salt lakes and slavery houses. The other tour was to the north side which is completely different and more beautiful than the south side. Kristen takes the time to show you everything you want to see and stops at the most beautiful places. She makes the trips very personal, fitting it to your wishes. I highly recommend trips with Kirsten, whether it is a snorkel tour or a tour of the island itself. Well worth the money!
Great tour and Ms. Kiersten was simply amazing. She was professional and friendly. I didn’t feel rushed, she let me see the island at my own pace. Highly recommend!.

This tour was fantastic. The personal touch Kirsten gives it I have never experienced before. It's really a private tour in a luxury SUV. If I wanted to stop somewhere to take pictures, that was no problem. The stories she told were also great. She knows a lot about the history, salt production and culture on the island. Overall a very successful tour. Next time I will also do the north tour at Private Guided Tours Bonaire.
Fantastic private South Tour – a must-do on Bonaire! Our private South Tour with Kirsten from Private Guided Tours Bonaire was an unforgettable experience! We explored the impressive southern part of Bonaire, with stops at the salt pans, the slave houses and the breathtaking rugged coastline. Kirsten shared fascinating stories and interesting facts about the nature, history and culture of the island. It was wonderful to travel at a relaxed pace, without crowds and fully tailored to our wishes. The flamingos at Lac Bai were a beautiful sight, and the rugged coast near the east side of the island was truly spectacular. An absolute must if you really want to experience Bonaire!
On Thursday, March 28, 2024, Kirsten picked us up for a tour of the southern part of Bonaire. We first went to Sorobon, where it was very quiet because of the reversal (no wind) and not a surfer in sight. Normally very colored by all the sails of the surfers! They were setting up tents all along the beaches. Easter weekend there is always free camping and partying. Along the way we encountered Wara Wara (birds of prey), pelicans, donkeys, herons, agave, aloe Vera, cactus wall, salt pans, goats and slave houses. We also learned a bit of history about Bonaire. Thank you Kirsten for the fun tour! Jenny&Tecla.
Big 5. Kirsten knows a lot about the island. The tour was super relaxed and she took all the time. We took beautiful photos along the way where we wanted to stop. Recommended.
We made a great island tour through North and South Bonaire in early July. Guide Kirsten is a warm-hearted lady who talks enthusiastically about this amazing island. Definitely recommended!
In addition to the north tour also the south tour done. Again I enjoyed this tour and listened to her stories with great interest. Definitely worth following this tour, and don't forget to discuss the wishes with Kirsten. That way she made sure we had every chance to take a picture of the flamingos:).
Recommended! Kirsten will take you across the island. you will be picked up and go to the most beautiful places on the island. Seen a lot, also with the other tours (North tour, snorkeling).
