A great trip to the Donkey Sanctuary - This was a return trip to the sanctuary and was very enjoyable. Our guide was great! We recommend a trip to the donkey sanctuary for families with children. The animals are good with people of all ages.

A Unique and Heartwarming Experience - The donkey sanctuary was a really fun and different experience. Being able to drive through and interact with the donkeys was something we won’t forget—they’re all so friendly and full of character. You can tell the people running it truly care about the animals, which makes it even more enjoyable knowing you’re supporting a good cause. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Bonaire!

Awesome cave tour in a small group - The Cave Tour with Shekhinah Tours we booked through my shore excursions was one of the absolute highlights of our stay on Bonaire. The tour was superbly organised, varied and impressive from start to finish. Our guide Mar did an outstanding job. His local knowledge, peace and enthusiasm for the caves can be felt at all times. He explains understandably, takes time to answer questions and manages to create a relaxed, safe and at the same time fascinating atmosphere. You immediately notice that he is not simply unwinding a program, but doing his work with real passion. And after I had left my phone in his car and it was delivered to me within 20 minutes after contacting me directly to the Aida, you realize that a lot of importance is still placed on the people here. The selected caves were impressive, partly surprising and far from mass tourism (there were four of us on this tour). Just the right mix of adventure, nature experience and background knowledge. If you want to experience more on Bonaire than just the famous spots, you should definitely do this cave tour. Shekhinah Tours and Mar in particular stand for quality, authenticity and a real experience. Anytime again.

Fun and a must do. - I really recommend this tour. We had Arturo and he was great. Very understanding. I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it. It's very physical but Arturo made it doable and fun.

Only if you really love donkeys and other animals - My wife had heard about this and does love donkeys. I like donkeys and other animals as well, but have to state this is a fairly typical Caribbean tourist trap. The two young men who were our tour guides were wonderful and we enjoyed talking with them. But this is a sanctuary with 800 donkeys - which is a lot of donkey poop. It’s hot, dusty, and the smell is intense. The donkeys are cute but be forewarned.
