• 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.

From here, there is 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 allows, access to some private, lesser-known locations is available for a closer look at the flamingos. Recommendations for fantastic hikes for the next tour or suggestions for another day of vacation are also available.

• 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.

The story of how the Arawak Indians arrived peacefully on the island and built their lives until the Spaniards arrived, bringing slavery and upheaval, is also shared.

• Boka Onima - At the Onima Indian Inscriptions, visitors are taken to the very spot where the Spaniards first landed on Bonaire.
