Overview

It is a Unique Small Group Tour guided by a knowledgeable, Local Bonaire resident who Loves the Island!

Why Shekhinah Tours is Different: Unlike other tours, this is not a big bus experience with long wait times and impersonal guides. We want you to feel welcome to the island the moment you step off the ship, and we're excited to share our knowledge of the history, culture, economy and food on Bonaire!

You will be greeted personally and shown to your vehicle. There is a maximum of 7 guests per vehicle so that you will personally interact with your guide.

You will see all the major sites and highlights in Bonaire's North and South regions. Because of the minor group nature of this tour, you will be able to ask questions and make custom requests if there's something in particular you want to see. Time allows, and we'll do all we can to make this trip memorable for you and your group!

We Guarantee we'll have you back at your ship 1 hour before departure.
