Above and Beyond!! - This company is truly professional. They had to cancel my tour for some reason and asked if I could reschedule for the following day. Unfortunately I was just passing Bonaire and the day I had scheduled was the only day I could do it. Rather than just saying “sorry” and refunding my money, they went above and beyond to ensure I was able to see the island’s highlights — from the salt flats and slave huts to spectacular Sorobon Beach. I felt like I saw everything that would have been on the original tour, if not more, as I learned of many amazing dive sites and saw plenty of wild flamingos and donkeys on the route. Oliver was a knowledgeable and fun guide who left no questions unanswered regarding Bonaire’s rich history, culture, and geography. This tour only made me want to return to Bonaire with much more time to enjoy it. Thank you leaving a very favorable impression of your beautiful island and people.

Interesting learning about history of island & seeing the salt areas. - We booked this trip independent of the cruise tours, as it fit our needs. It was very easy to book on-line, the staff at the port were very helpful and the excursion was excellent! I would recommend this tour.

Beautiful island-good tour! - Tour was very good in some aspects but not so in others. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and great audio communication. Bus transport was not -the seats were so close to each other, one could not feel comfortable. We travelled over most of the island: saw the salt flats( very interesting), slave huts, museum; but we never stopped anywhere near the flamingos!
