Overview

That 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 you will personally interact with your guide throughout.

You will see all the major sites and highlights.

Because of this tour's minor group nature, you can ask questions and make custom requests if there's something you want to see. Time allows, and we'll do all we can to make this trip memorable for you and your group!

Kralendijk (Pass by)
At the start of the tour, we will tell you a little bit about the city centre area of Kralendijk. City centre Kralendijk consists of a few streets and is easily walkable. Kaya Grandi is the Main Street, where you will find most shops, restaurants, and cafes. After the tour, we can drop you off in the centre if you want to do some shopping and walk around. If you're on a cruise, the ship port is less than a 5-minute walk from the central city centre district, and you can easily see and walk back to your ship before departure.
Harbour Village Marina (Pass by)
Harbour Village Marina is one of two marina facilities on the island where both local and visiting yachts can book moorings and stay on the island. It's also a safe-haven for surrounding boats during storms to seek shelter and calmer water.
Trans World Radio Bonaire (TWR) (Pass by)
Trans World Radio plays a vital role in global radio and features a beautiful mural that you won't be able to miss. We'll tell you more about it on tour and give you a chance to take a photo.
Hato (Pass by)
Many of the island's hotels are located in a neighbourhood called Hato. We'll be passing through parts of this neighbourhood and sharing information as we head north.
Sabadeco (Pass by)
Here you will see some of the largest homes on Bonaire. Your guide will share with you why people from all over the globe are moving to this area and, in particular, why this area is valued so highly.
1000 Steps
  • 10m
At 1000 Steps, we will make a stop where you can get out, walk around and take pictures of the beautiful scenery and clear blue ocean. Whether you descend the steps to the sea or stay on top, you will still have a nice view of the area and coast.
Queen's Highway (Pass by)
Tolo Dive Site is one of the best dive sites on the island due to the large reef and schools of fish that inhabit this area of coral cliffs. From a distance, you will see interesting boulder patterns and your guide will point out lines on the cliffs that show you where the water level was thousands of years ago.
landhuis Karpata
  • 5m
From the 17th century until 1863, Bonaire, like many islands in the Caribbean, relied on slave labour to work plantations and the salt pans. Throughout the island, you will see remnants of this time that serve as reminders of the hard work and hands that built the island's economy during this period. Here at Karpata, you will see a building where the women and the children would stay during the week.
6JC8+GQ2 (Pass by)
Like all places, oil and resources play an essential role in daily life on Bonaire. But unlike many sites, islands do not allow for a natural supply found locally. Here at BOPEC, your tour guide will be showing you some of the island's oil tanks and the reason for their placement here on the island.
Goto Lake
  • 10m
Goto (Pronounced Go - To) Meer is a beautiful protected reserve area where you will often see flamingos and native birds in their natural habitat. You also will see the sparkle of salt deposits and the dense greenery in this Northern part of the island. As this is a protected area, we will not be exiting the vehicle, but you will have the chance to take photos and spot the flamingos. In the distance, you'll see Brandaris, the tallest point on Bonaire, located in the Washington Nature Preserve Park.
Rincon
  • 10m
Rincon was the first official town established in the 16th century. Here you will see some of the oldest buildings on the island, typical local architecture, and learn why this location was chosen many years ago to be the first official settlement when the Spanish discovered Bonaire.
The Cadushy Distillery
  • 10m
You will visit a locally made liquor and spirits of Bonaire. Please remember the distillery is open from 10 am to 5 pm, from Monday to Saturday.
Bonaire Landsailing Adventures (Pass by)
After Rincon, we will embark on the windy and breath-taking east coast of Bonaire, where you can feel the crashing waves and often see roaming wild donkeys. We'll also pass Bonaire's Land Sailing Adventure track, where you can see people zipping around in their sail karts. That is the last stop, and from here, we will drive you back to the ship. It is a great time to ask questions and chat with your tour guide.
