Things to do in Bonaire, Bonaire: The Best Walking Tours

September 28, 2021 Terina Blouin

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.

The best way to experience Bonaire Washington Park Tour is with a guide who knows the most beautiful spots! Beautiful and unspoiled are understatements when describing Bonaire Washington Slagbaai National Park. Discover its treasures on this specially guided tour through hidden coves, secluded beaches, salt lakes & magical watering holes. Originally inhabited by the Caiquetio Indians, Bonaire Washington Park is the first nature sanctuary of the former Netherland Antilles. Established in 1969 and located in the Northwest part of the island, it covers an area roughly one fifth of Bonaire, and it had Slagbaai, the largest most productive plantations during the colonial period. Today Bonaire Washington Slagbaai National Park and its pristine beaches are an important nesting ground for the sea turtles that visit the waters of our island, Bonaire. With a flexible itinerary, you will have plenty of opportunities to admire and photograph the flora & fauna in their natural habitats.

We used this company to do a private island tour as well as a stop for land sailing. The land sailing was a favorite of everyone in our group. Ages 4 -74. The tour guild was very nice, knowledgeable and we got to see all the highlights of the island and had a wonderful lunch. I would recommend them again.

3. Walking Tours & Private Tours on Bonaire

6 Kaya Grandi, Kralendijk, Caribbean Netherlands Go Lokal Walking Tours Bonaire

Don’t worry, “walking tour” doesn’t mean you’ll trek or hoof it from place to place. It’s only that you’ll spend part of the morning and/or afternoon with your feet on the ground getting up close to our local history. This usually takes about two hours at a leisurely pace. On our all walking tours, an expert local guide will describe the walk and we can take our time and blend in to the”Dushi” city around us. Traveling Solo? Walk this way! Nearly a third of our guests are solo travelers who want the thrill of exploration minus the what-ifs of going it all alone. You’ll enjoy the camaraderie of your fulltime guide and like-minded travelers, and to make your solo sojourn practical, we offer the lowest single supplements you’re likely to find. Are you feeling more adventurous and you have your own transportation. We can custom tailor a special nature or private tour for you.

Thank you Naomi for our Kayak Mangrove Lac Bay booking. It was a beautiful sunny day on the water of Lac Bay. Our guide provided much interesting information about plants and animals and the best part of this trip was definitely snorkeling.

Gian Carlo was very well versed on the island’s highlights and provided an exceptional tour discussing each point along with knowledge of the people and history of Bonaire. He was able to answer all of our questions. The bus was very comfortable and with excellent air conditioning. The driver allowed plenty time at each stop. I highly recommend this tour and as a cruise plus tip, we saved almost $200 on a family of four from what the on board cruise excursion was charging. The tour operator is just outside the port gate so no need to walk far at all.
