This was amazing! Laura and Thomas were exceptional hosts! The villa and artwork was amazing! Tons of seating options. We made wine spritzers and chowed down on homemade pizza. Beach and pool access, snorkel gear, kayaks…everything described and more…we will visit again!

This is by far the best excursion we've ever done! We enjoy smaller groups vs hundreds of people being herded here and there. This tour is only for a max of 40 people so it sounded perfect for us. And let me tell you, it WAS! In fact on this particular day, it was just my husband and I and our wonderful hosts, Laura and Thomas. Their villa is both spectacular and welcoming. We snorkeled, we swam in the infinity pool, we roamed around the whole property just exploring and enjoying the beauty. Laura made us a delicious lunch and gave us a tour of her gardens. We felt like we were just visiting friends on the island. Before going back to the cruise port, Thomas gave us a tour of the island, explaining what we were seeing. Flamingos, donkeys, salt ponds, kite surfers, the light house, slave houses, best diving spots. Laura and Thomas are wonderful, kind and welcoming people. We absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bonaire. You will not be disappointed! I wish I could give it 100 stars, it's that good!

Best cruise excursion!

Kim_B, Mar 2026

We had an amazing day! We booked this excursion though Viator and not the cruise. We were picked up promptly by two sweet friends. We were treated like VIPs as soon as we walked in. Gorgeous property! Loved the small beach. Had fun snorkeling and relaxing. Wonderful pool and villa. Excellent Rum Punch. Delicious snacks and lunch. One of the highlights was the cruise Laura (host) took us on around Bonaire. Loved the salt farm, donkeys, flamingos, slave village, and seeing lots of Bonaire. Our favorite cruise excursion for sure!!

Don’t hesitate to book this!!

Joanne_T, Feb 2026

After spending the day at Laura and Thomas’ villa, I want to move there! They were exceptional hosts and their property is beyond words. You have to see it in person. There were many chairs and loungers throughout the property to choose from. All with fantastic views. The pool was clean and delightful. The grounds and the landscaping were beautifully cared for. There is a small beach area at the bottom of the stairs. But the snorkeling area right in front of their property is a highlight. There was coral and many fish to be seen. They had snorkel equipment and towels available for use along with showers. They made us a delicious homemade lunch and had baked goodies, fruit and ice cream as well. They have private bathrooms available and a lovely air conditioned sitting area as well. Literally everything you need or want for a beautiful relaxing day on Bonaire. This will be a definite must do every time we come to Bonaire. Book it! You won’t be disappointed.

Thomas and Laura are...

Todd_A, Feb 2026

Thomas and Laura are excellent hosts! Words cannot describe how beautiful their villa is. Their place is so warm, welcoming and relaxing. They go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. You can tell the homemade pizza, paninis, ice cream and cookies were made from their hearts.

A home away from home

Cari_J, Feb 2026

We are afraid this little gem is going to become more well-known and we will have to make sure we get in line to come back here. This little oasis is close to the port but yet you seem to be in your old little private paradise. The small group that’s allowed on the property is a perfect size for this type of home away from home experience. Everything with the Home, the hosts the Food, the pool, the beach and of course the sunshine was above average! Excellent! We were blessed with a very personal tour of the island with the hostess.

A Perfect Oceanfront Escape — Personal, Relaxing, and Unforgettable

Anthony_M, Feb 2026

This was a truly fantastic, warm, and personal experience — made even more special by the wonderful villa hosts, Laura and Tom, along with their excellent transportation and kitchen team. I was visiting on a cruise for the day, and this turned out to be the perfect choice. What makes this excursion so special is how flexible it is. You can spend the day in complete serenity, lounging on a deck chair with laid-back music while enjoying plentiful snacks and ice-cold drinks. Or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, there’s snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming in either the pool or the ocean. The villa looks exactly like the photos and is one of the few properties in the area with direct ocean access. The hosts mentioned they allow up to 40 guests per day; there were about 12 when I visited, and it felt incredibly spacious. Even with a full group, there are at least 80 chairs — including sunbeds and plush padded seating — so you’ll never struggle to find a comfortable spot. Don’t miss the ultra-comfy shaded chairs on the upstairs deck overlooking the ocean! You’ll also be greeted by Buddy, the incredibly friendly resident dog, who happily makes the rounds collecting pets and attention from every guest. After lunch, Laura takes anyone interested out to snorkel using the provided gear. It’s immediately clear that both hosting and snorkeling are genuine passions of hers, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. Lunch featured delicious homemade pizza — and I even got to help make it, which was a fun and unexpected highlight. The fridge is well-stocked with beer, sodas, water, ice cream, banana cake, and fresh fruit, and guests are encouraged to help themselves throughout the day. In the afternoon, Laura and Tom’s driver takes you on a scenic tour around the island’s perimeter, where you’ll see the salt beds, refinery, and the last remaining slave houses. Along the way, we spotted flamingos and donkeys — such a cool experience. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Don’t think twice — just book it!

We loved our day here, highly recommend!!

Amy_B, Feb 2026

My husband, friends, and I recently traveled to Bonaire on a cruise. Our ship-scheduled excursion was cancelled abruptly so we had to find an alternative beach experience at the last minute. After a Viator search, we decided to try Villa 4 the Day. We had such a great time! We enjoyed swimming, snorkeling, a delicious lunch, and cold drinks. Laura and her husband Thomas were gracious and welcoming hosts who made us all feel right at home. Their villa is gorgeous with every amenity you could need for a day at the beach. Their beach access is full, beautiful sand. The snorkeling is great because fish are abundant. If you’re not confident in the ocean, they have a pool. I highly recommend Villa 4 the Day if you’re looking to spend time at the beach in Bonaire. We all hope to return again someday.

Absolutely our best EXPERIENCE EVER!!

Mark_S, Feb 2026

Words can not express how wonderful of an experience we had at the Private Villa! Our host Laura and Thomas provided an amazing experience of a first class hotel! From the on time pick up at our cruise ship, (with signage😊) to the facility where they catered to our every need. The cleanliness, decor, food and beverage were outstanding! After spending almost 5 hours of restful bliss, in the pool, watching the Crystal clear water with its beautiful wildlife, we were mesmerized by its beauty. They have everything thing you would need to enjoy the day, snorkel gear, paddle board, lounge chairs either to soak in the sun or rest under the shade. And if that is too hot for your liking, you have the villa to yourself to cool down in an air conditioned apartment space, all with extremely clean restrooms and showers. Then to top off the day we were provided a superior tour of the island being able to see the salt pyramids, flamingos, and the local wildlife, all while listening to Thomas give us the history of the island. I almost forgot, but Laura is an amazing artist, in which you can see her beautiful art work along with some other local artists she features as well! In closing this was by far our greatest experience we have ever had, and we have been using Viator’s services for over 10 years. Thank you so much Laura and Thomas, I feel as my wife and I have made a friend for life!

Best Carribean Excursion.

mggfy8nfqy, Jan 2026

I have been to the Carribean countless times and this is by far the best excursion I have ever done. The house is amazing. Beautiful pool and great snorkeling. The hosts, Laura and Thomas, are amazing people. The tour of the island at the end of the day is wonderful. Laura and Thomas pick you up at the port and ensure that you return before your ships leaves. Tremendous value.

A trip to paradise, made to feel so welcome. What a fabulous day. Don’t hesitate to book this you will love it.

LyndaWarwick, Jan 2026

One of the best days we have ever serpent on Bonaire. Our hostess Laura (what a woman, kind, so friendly with a positive attitude to life that was infectious) picked us up at the cruise port to transport us to what I can only describe as paradise. Fantastic views and we were welcomed by Thomas and buddy the dog. Lots of comfy sun loungers and chairs in the sun or shade. Help yourself to tea, coffee, soft drinks or wine and beer. Then have a dip in the infinity pool or go snorkelling easy access via the private beach (equipment provided). Then enjoy homemade pizza or pannini for lunch very delicious. Followed by banana cake or homemade ice cream. We were so spoilt and felt like friends. Nothing is too much trouble it was just wonderful. You can have a tour of the island before heading back to your ship. I can honestly say it was one of the best days we have ever spent ashore and enjoyed every minute. Thank you Laura, Thomas & Buddy we will be back soon 😻😘

Wonderful villa for a day to relax

Julie_G, Jan 2026

Laura was an amazing hostess! The villa was absolutely beautiful. Access to a pool, sandy beach, snorkel gear and more to use. Snacks - cookies, breads, fresh fruit - were very good and fresh. Lunch was choice of paninis or homemade pizza. From scratch pizza dough and fresh ingredients were top notch. Cake and homemade ice cream to top off lunch. Beer, wine, soda and water included. Staff were fantastic and very accommodating to any need or want. Tour of the island ended our day at the Villa. Our group really enjoyed our villa for a day and would definitely recommend anyone looking for a day in Bonaire to give it a try. Great value!!

A Perfect Day With Perfect Hosts and excellent food

Gordon_K, Jan 2026

Hard to know where to start on praising Laura and Thomas and their hospitality (and a lovely welcome from Buddy too) . We were picked up on time by Laura and immediately felt at ease. 10 minutes later we arrived at the villa and it was perfect really. The facilities were first class and we spent the day going between the sun loungers the pool and the beach …. Laura had ensured we would not go hungry or thirsty ( a variety of beer and wines) , with lots of home made goodies and fresh lemonade , water , coffee and cookies. Laura catered for my wife’s unusual dietary challenges and the pizza is , without a doubt , one of the best ones ever! Sadly I didn’t get a chance to try the home made ice cream because I was too full from the banana cake! It was also nice to have an excellent air conditioned room available along with good restroom and shower facilities. This was all followed up by a very insightful tour of the south of the Island with Thomas withsome phot stops thrown in. It was a perfect day for us and I expect we will be back again on our next visit.

It’s was great experience...

CHRISTOPHER_T, Jan 2026

It’s was great experience from the warm reception with a beautiful smile to the hometown feel. It was like visiting family. A quiet private villa with everything you needed to enjoy your day. Definitely worth it and highly recommended. Our “Villa for a Day” stay was phenomenal! We had exclusive access to the property and amenities, such as the private infinity pool, garden, and living areas. Our day included made to order pizzas, banana cake, chocolate chip cookies and homemade ice cream. Infinity pool, small private beach, snorkeling equipment, kayaks included. The icing on the cake was the tour which was both interesting and informative. We can’t wait to stay there again. ~Chris and Danita

Feeling bougie in Bonaire

Marsha_E, Jan 2026

We were excited to see this option amongst the typical snorkeling and island tours. Laura and Thomas were phenomenal hosts, sharing their amazing villa with us for the day. Pictures do not do justice to the beautiful surroundings...pool, ocean, lanai with comfortable seating. Walked into the ocean to snorkel, and there was also the option to use paddleboards and kayaks. Thomas did a tour around the south side of the island and shared the history. We had a delightful lunch of homemade fresh pizzas and unlimited beverages, fresh banana cake and homemade ice cream. We felt like family for the time we were there! You have to book this awesome adventure!
