Beautiful island-Bonaire Our tour guide Renny was phenomenal with a sense of humor and a historian. I enjoyed my tour of Bonaire.

Wonderful Tour

Excellent overview of the island

Francesca_M, Aug 2026
This ended up being a private tour because no one else had booked which was a very nice experience. Our tour guide was an island native and was extremely knowledgeable about the island, wildlife, politics, and history of each site we visited. He was professional and accommodating and gave us some great insight into life on Bonaire. He also gave us recommendations for things to do on the island and places to eat. The van was clean and cool and very comfortable. Our only regret is that we did not do this tour earlier in our trip as we learned about so much! We ended up revisiting the 1000 steps after we stopped there on this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed learning about the island's history and that your guide could show you everything it has to offer. It was a pleasure answering your questions, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future!

Think twice before booking.

Gina_S, Jun 2026
The vehicle was wayyy too small for all the ppl she shoved in the van When booked I was told it was a guided tour for 4 people.plus the driver. When we were picked up it was a Mini Van with 8 other people. My husband is 6'2" 250lbs and broken leg.& he was smooshed in the back seat with his knees up into his chest. For the price we paid and what happened I wouldnt do it again.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that this tour is clearly described as a shared tour, not a private tour. Depending on the group size, guests may share a vehicle or van with other guests. The van used for this tour has 10 guest seats plus 1 driver seat, and with 8 guests on board, the vehicle was within normal capacity. We always encourage guests to carefully read the full tour description before booking, as each tour and service includes important details about what is included and what to expect. If a guest prefers to travel only with their own group, we recommend booking a private tour instead of a shared group tour. We are sorry that you felt uncomfortable during the tour, especially considering your husband’s height and leg injury. However, these personal comfort needs were not communicated to us before the tour. Had we known in advance, we would have done our best to advise you on a more suitable option. Tip: Gina, for future bookings, please make sure to read the full tour description carefully before booking, so you know exactly what is included and what to expect. Thank you again!

Fun and Interesting Tour

Saja_C, May 2026
I had a really good experience on this tour. Pickup was right on time and everything felt smooth and well organized from the beginning. I visited during Bonaire’s slow season and ended up being the only guest on the tour, so I really appreciated that they still honored the booking instead of canceling like another excursion company did to me earlier in the trip. My guide, Mark, was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a lot of interesting information about the island’s history, culture, and landmarks throughout the day. The salt flats were absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite parts of the tour. I also loved that they gave me lovely salt crystals as a souvenir. The only thing I would have liked was a little more beach time and an opportunity to swim at some of the stops, especially compared to other island tours I’ve done. Also some tours let you in town and let you explore and go shopping. That would be a good thing to add to the tour as well. Overall it was a great way to see Bonaire and learn more about the island. I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you want a scenic and informative tour experience.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you very much for your detailed review! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Mark and appreciated the information shared about Bonaire’s history, culture, and highlights. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the salt flats and the souvenir. Thank you as well for your feedback about having more beach time and free time to explore. We truly value suggestions like this and will take them into consideration as we continue improving our tours. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Bonaire!

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

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

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

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations.

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

Great Guide!

BARBARA_S, Apr 2026
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.

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

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

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.
