December 22, 2021 Karren Gelb

Are there more flamingos than people on Bonaire? It's possible, and it's part of this unspoiled island's appeal. Bring your binoculars and your scuba gear to make the most of Bonaire's natural charms: more than 200 different species of birds live here, and the island itself draws divers from around the world to its reef-lined coast, a National Maritime Park.

My wife and I, and 2 dear friends, traded our time shares in Aruba to check out the diving on Bonaire. We stayed at the Divi resort, and did many shore dives. Our afternoon with Captain Norman, though, was our favorite dive of the week. So relaxing to be on his 43' sailboat - no engine noise or diesel fumes to deal with. Cost much less than you might imagine, also. We sailed to a dive sight off Klein Bonaire, and the coral formations there were phenomenal. We were served several courses of simple but tasty appetizers, and the beer on the sunset sail back to dock after diving was much enjoyed. Captain Norman was a good host and clearly an experienced sailor - enjoyed his company too. If we ever go back, I would book it again.

Casper was recommended to us by Harbour Village Bonaire Resort to take our wedding photographs. We met him and he is a very friendly Dutch man. We knew right away they chose the right photographer for the occasion. He had original ideas for the photos and they all came out great. He was very entertaining and made the photo session go by very quickly. I would recommend him for any type of photography session. All of his photos look great and he makes people and nature very beautiful. If you want any photos of you or your family on the island he is the guy!

Awesome place to kitesurf. Very friendly staff, creating a good vibe and selflessly helping people who ask for tips. Especially Lian, Astrid and Jarno put in some time and gave me tips when I was struggling a bit, to help me improve my skills, even though I just came to kitesurf without needing lessons.

The tuk-tuks are 3-wheeled scooters which seat 4 adults. They are the eye-catchers of our fleet and we lost count of the number of people who wanted to have their picture taken while sitting in the tuk. Please bear in mind that the tuk-tuks may be not the right choice for you if you are very tall, over 200 lbs (100 kg) or if you have knee- or hip problems, as you will be sitting with your knee above your hip. In such a case we advise to book one of our big tuks. Our tuks are electric, emission-free and quiet! You will enjoy the natural airco of Bonaire, the prevailing Northeastern tradewind, as the tuks are open-air. As a bonus, you can take beautiful pictures right from your seat without that annoying reflection of windows. Join us for the best tour you have ever had!

Inclusions: Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta, We encourage our guests to bring their own reusable bottle, which we will fill with delicious ice-cold Bonairean tap water., Beer

Our families (ranging from age 2 to 75) enjoyed a tour of the southern part of the island - our tour guide was knowledgeable, and we had plenty of stops to stretch our legs and take photos of the gorgeous scenery. I preferred a guided tour over renting our own, since we wouldn't have had any idea about what we were looking at or the history of some of the stops. As many others commented, the donkey sanctuary sounds like an odd place to stop, but it truly was the highlight of the tour - the kids loved it and we all had a good laugh about the donkeys trying to get into our tour guide's purse. It was a really cool experience.

We booked a private “North/South” driving tour with Kim and could not have been happier. Kim spent hours taking us all over the island and shared a wealth of information about its’ history. She was fun and especially attentive to our 83 year old mom, which we greatly appreciated. We enjoyed every minute and would not hesitate to recommend Eye Land tours! We are already planning to come back next year and will be booking an Eye Sea glass bottom boat tour with Kim for that trip! Highly recommend this company for all your vacation tour needs!
