• 1000 Steps - 1000 Steps is a renowned spot for its breathtaking scenery and vibrant turquoise waters. Turtles can be seen swimming in the shallow waters, feeding on the lush algae.

At this stunning location, a short 10-minute walk along a beachside pathway leads to a small balcony, popular for sunset wedding photos.

• Landhuis Karpata - The next stop is Plantation Karpata, located on the coastal road of Kralendijk, heading north before Gotomeer. Originally named Borneo, it was later renamed after a plant that still grows here, known for its laxative wonder oil. The buildings of Karpata, dating back to after 1868, once served as an important trading center. The plantation produced goats for hides and meat, as well as aloe, charcoal, and dye wood. It is also marked as one of Bonaire’s top dive sites. From here, the tour will continue towards Goto Lake.

• Bonaire National Marine Park - The tour will stop at Gotomeer, a saltwater lagoon on Bonaire’s northern side, where flamingos often gather. From here, enjoy a beautiful view of Seru Brandaris, Bonaire’s highest peak, located within the national park. Bonaire is one of the few places in the world where these pink flamingos choose to nest. For photography enthusiasts, and if time permits, the operator has access to some private, lesser-known locations for a closer look at the flamingos. Fantastic hikes can also be recommended for your next tour or another day of your vacation.

• Rincon - Subi Rincon is a viewpoint above the oldest village in the Dutch Antilles, set to celebrate its 500th anniversary in 2027. The name “Subi,” meaning “above,” reflects its elevated position. This village embodies the authentic spirit of Bonaire, distinct from Dutch influence, showcasing a vibrant, welcoming community filled with color and friendliness. Goats and donkeys roam freely, offering opportunities to enjoy local food and beverages. Just a five-minute drive from the village, Subi Rincon sits about 60 meters above the village, providing a stunning observation point. Visitors will enjoy tranquility here, as guides prefer to keep the area peaceful and avoid crowds. The story of how the Arawak Indians arrived peacefully on the island and built their lives until the Spaniards arrived, bringing slavery and upheaval, will also be shared.

• Boka Onima - At the Onima Indian Inscriptions, visitors will be taken to the very spot where the Spaniards first landed on Bonaire. The ocean’s immense power and how the elders, known as “the Imakan,” guided their people using ancestral wisdom, along with their knowledge of the stars, plants, and animals, will be discussed. Experience the profound energy of this sacred place, a link to ancestors. The Arawak Indians, the original inhabitants of Bonaire, were known for their peaceful culture and craftsmanship. Evidence of their presence, including an ancient inscription carved over 3,000 years ago, highlights their deep connection to the island and its rich history.

• Seru Largu - The final stop is Seru Largu, meaning “high mountain,” a scenic lookout offering breathtaking views of Bonaire’s south side.

Nearby, there’s a local farm called Knuknu, meaning “farmhouse,” where a few donkeys and horses might be spotted. If time permits, this charming spot can be visited.
