Daniel was an absolutely excellent tour guide. He was patient, had a wireless mike that worked, his English is very good and he made it a fun afternoon. Brought water for us too. Excellent tour. Highly recommend

Small group, comfortable van, and experienced, friendly and knowledgeable guide! We saw and learned so much! Having been to Bonaire before, we were interested in seeing other things - especially wildlife. We were not disappointed! Goats, donkeys, flamingos and many, many birds! Also great scenic vistas. Cannot say enough great about our Guide, Donni.

    We really enjoyed our tour. Janice was very knowledgeable, especially about the natural elements (plants and animals) of Bonnaire.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you really enjoyed the tour. Janise will be so happy to know her knowledge—especially about Bonaire’s plants and animals—made the experience even more special. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure soon!

    Small touring group tour of the island of Bonaire.

    Paul_B, Apr 2026
    Tour guide Janise drove and talked throughout the tour. She was very knowledgeable, kind & friendly. She answered almost all questions. She did not rush us through the excursion. A good person to use on their 1st trip to Bonaire

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you had such a great experience and that the tour felt relaxed and informative. It’s great to hear you would recommend it for a first visit to Bonaire. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit!

    informative, fun and flamingos!

    deb56er, Apr 2026
    Nicolene was our tour guide. She provided interesting and informative commentary along the way and stopped at several interesting sites during the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting a local diving spot, 1000 steps and of course, we saw flamingos, which was my hope and I was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend to anyone who would like to experience the history and highlights of Bonnaire!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you had such an enjoyable and informative experience exploring Bonaire. It’s great to hear you were able to see the highlights and even the flamingos — always a special moment! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on your next visit!

    Mike_J, Apr 2026
    A lot of time in the van, knowledgeable driver. She was very nice. Has limited stops where you can get out and explore. If you are in the back you will not get to see what she is referring to.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Great little tour of the island. KiKi was a great tour guide and we really enjoyed the small group tour.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and the small group experience. It’s great to hear you had a good time exploring the island. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Bonaire!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the small group experience, the comfort of the van, and the variety of sights across the island. It’s great that even as returning visitors, you were able to discover new places and enjoy Bonaire’s wildlife—those encounters with goats, donkeys, flamingos, and birds are always special! A special thank you as well for your kind words about Daniel. We’re very proud to have him on our team, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable island experience

    Great tour

    Adam_P, Apr 2026
    On my previous visits to Bonaire I’ve only seen the south part of the island, so this was a great way to see more of the island. It was easy to meet our guide near the cruise port. There were only four of us in our group so that was great, but it might have become uncomfortable with a full minivan. I especially enjoyed visiting 1000 steps, the old capital of Rincon, and a lookout point over the island.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad this tour gave you the chance to explore more of the island beyond the south side and discover new highlights of Bonaire. It’s great to hear that the meeting point near the cruise port was convenient and that you enjoyed a smaller group setting. We understand your comment about space in the minivan and will definitely keep that in mind as we continue to improve guest comfort. We’re happy you enjoyed stops like 1000 Steps, Rincon, and the scenic lookout—those are some of our favorite spots too! Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future

    Nice little tour

    roopali_p, Apr 2026
    Nice tour to see around the island. Tour apparently does not necessarily include everything listed on the description of the tour. Started a bit late even though we were early.

    Wonderful tour. We felt we saw the whole island

    Paul_V, Apr 2026
    Wonderful tour. We felt we saw the whole island. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Her native insights made the tour all that much more educational. We saw all kinds of wildlife. We got amazing pictures. I would highly recommend this tour

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you felt you experienced the whole island and enjoyed the variety of wildlife and scenic spots.

    Greg_W, Mar 2026
    This tour covered everything we needed to know about Bonaire. Janise our tour guide took the time to explain everything and there was plenty of time at each stop. We would highly recommend it.

    The tour guide was 30...

    Kimberly_W, Mar 2026
    The tour guide was 30 minutes late arriving for the tour but he was fantastic and knew alot about the island. As we were traveling in the tour van we ran out of gas on the side of the road. Thankfully we were walking distance to restaurant where we went and waited for over an hour until gas could be delivered. We were unable to complete the tour as we had to get back to our cruise ship in time.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Good afternoon, Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the guide knowledgeable about the island. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during the tour. It should not have happened that the fuel level was not properly checked in advance, and we understand how frustrating it must have been, especially with your cruise schedule. Your feedback has been taken seriously, and we will make sure this is addressed internally to prevent this from happening again in the future. Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience next time. Kind regards, Bonaire Tours Center

    Great Guide, great tour

    michelle_h, Mar 2026

    Beautiful Bonaire

    Nick_M, Feb 2026
    We toured with Nicoline who was brilliant, friendly and accommodating throughout. She gave a great personal insight to life on Bonaire and was interesting to listen too. She gave great facts along with great humour. We stopped at all the main sights and had great photo opportunities and even made an impromptu stop to get some great shots of the Flamingos. There were 6 people on the tour so it was better than being on a coach load of people where time is always limited and wasted.

    You see so much, it's well worth the money

    EllieDeBeer, Feb 2026
    We were picked up at our apartment in a very nice SUV. There were a total of 4 on the entire tour, which was great. Be sure you know when & where you will be picked up, Viator lets you contact the tour provider so it's very clear, and we had no problem. We saw the whole island, except for the National Park, which is a day I itself. But we did stop near it, & I got some great pictures. Our guide, Rinny was very good, especially great at spotting wildlife, even a Cara Cara bird! At first, I worried I couldn't understand him well, but once the other couple got on, & the tour actually started, he became the guide. He told us a lot about the things we were seeing & I wish I could remember everything. I really liked the 1000 steps, & the area near the National Park. The only things I'd change were, I'd have liked to stop for a moment to get better pics of the kite surfers & windsurfers. All in all, a great day! He went above & beyond, well past the 3 hours the tour was scheduled for.

    Great tour!

    richard_m, Feb 2026
    Enjoyed this experience with salt flats, flamingos, donkeys and crystal blue waters all included! Bag of salt was a bonus!!😁

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the salt flats, wildlife, and crystal blue waters. Hope to welcome you back again soon!

    Boring

    Angela_B, Feb 2026
    This tour was boring! The tour guide Daniel was very nice but the island is mostly dry with cactus and not much else to see.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found Daniel to be kind and welcoming. The island’s dry, cactus-filled landscape is part of its natural environment and unique character. While this may not be everyone’s preference, it’s the natural beauty and untouched landscape that many visitors come to experience.

    The tour itself was...

    Alison_C, Feb 2026
    The tour itself was great. Daniel was friendly and knowledgeable and it was great exploring the island. However, I had to pay double for being a solo traveller and yet still my tour was delayed until a later time in order for me to join a larger cruise group. That is not right or fair.

    The vans were quite small...

    Nancy_D, Feb 2026
    The vans were quite small especially for our group of 11. Our guide was fine but needed to use a microphone as those seated in back could not hear anything she was saying.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’d like to clarify that our vans are equipped with standard seats suitable for small group tours, and we do use a microphone so guests in the back can hear the guide. We’re sorry if this wasn’t perceived that way during your trip, but everything was operating as intended. We appreciate your feedback and wish you safe travels.

    Highly recommend

    Karen_M, Jan 2026
    Daniel was an absolutely excellent tour guide. He was patient, had a wireless mike that worked, his English is very good and he made it a fun afternoon. Brought water for us too. Excellent tour. Highly recommend

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Daniel made your afternoon fun and memorable with his patience, clear communication, and great energy. We’re glad you appreciated the wireless mic and the water — it’s the little details that help make the experience special. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Bonaire again soon!

    Great way to orient yourself to Bonaire!

    Laura_H, Jan 2026
    This was a great tour to get acclimated with the island. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island and was ready for any questions we had. Feels like a must-do for anyone who wants to familiarize yourself with this beautiful island.

    A great tour

    Tiffany_P, Jan 2026
    This was a great tour - a relaxed way to see some sights of Bonaire. You pass by some slowly, but you also stop at many that are worth stopping for. The duration was perfect and thought the tour was a good value for the money. I learned a lot about Bonaire from our tour guide Mar. I was picked up at my hotel which made it convenient, van was comfortable and had AC.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that the relaxed pace gave you the perfect way to see Bonaire — with time to both drive by highlights and stop at the places worth exploring. 😊 We’re also thrilled you found it good value and learned a lot from our guide Mar — we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words! Thank you for mentioning the convenient hotel pickup and the comfort of our air-conditioned van as well. We hope to welcome you again on Bonaire soon!

    Great tour with a great guide!

    A great way to see Bonaire

    William_B, Jan 2026
    Miguel was an exceptional tour guide; friendly, knowledge, professional. Lots of nice things to see and do. Great tour.

    No Show, No Explanation

    Jane_S, Jan 2026
    Driver was a no show: tried contacting operator twice by email. No respinse. Viator tried the operator and me it went to voicemail. Viator confirmed the tour to me without confirming with the operator. The Viator customer service rep told me to callback for a refund. I was not satisfied.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    We sincerely apologize for this experience and understand your frustration. Unfortunately, this occurred on a Sunday, and at that time our manager was off duty and unavailable, which led to the delayed response. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

    Great island and tour - ended up being private

    Tarra_C, Dec 2025
    Wonderful tour with Racine - she was helpful and paid particular to my dad as he’s hard of hearing. She told about the history and we stopped at all of the hit spots

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful day exploring Bonaire.

We’re glad you appreciated the history, the flexibility of the tour, and getting to see all the highlights. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Bonaire again in the future!

    Highlights of the island

    Gayle_F, Dec 2025
    This tour offers a great alternative to the beach. It hits many of the major areas of the island and gives the flavor of Bonaire. We saw the salt mounds, wild donkeys, slave huts, flamingos, 1,000 steps and beautiful countryside. Mar was a great tour guide.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026
