The caves are located on the North side of the Island. One at the entrance of Santa Barbara and one just down the road at Hill Top; we will stop at the second Cave. This area is rich in caves.
The first Cave we will be visiting has a ladder you must climb to get into Cave. When you are in the Cave, there will be bats and many unique rocks.
When you are in the Cave, you will see a lot of types of limestones, as you can see in the pictures, and some of the rocks look like they have gliders on them because when you shine your light or flashlight on them, they start glowing.
If you like cliff jumping, we will be visiting a small and low cliff jumping after the cave tour. It is enjoyable!!!! :) The ridge is not high at all, and everyone can jump from it.

Unforgettable Cave Tour with Arturo! - Arturo was amazing! From the moment he picked us up at the cruise port, he made the experience unforgettable. Along the drive, he shared fascinating stories and insights about the history of Bonaire and pointed out notable landmarks, setting the tone for a fun and informative day.
We explored three unique caves, each one offering its own adventure. Arturo made sure we had plenty of time at each spot and took incredible photos for us along the way. He was attentive to everyone’s safety, guiding us carefully into each cave and making sure we were comfortable. The highlight of the day was the final cave, where we had the chance to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear water—truly magical!
Beyond just being a fantastic guide, Arturo was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and downright hilarious. His energy and humor made the tour even more enjoyable. I would 1000% recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Bonaire. It was a perfect mix of adventure, education, and fun. Don’t miss it!

Fantastic tour for the adventurous at heart! - We were blessed with Arturo and his team, Ali and Tom. We booked this tour as a group tour and lucked out as it was only us. Arturo picked us up from a spot two minutes from the cruise ship and helped us experience the hikes of three beautiful caves. Ali and Tom were assisting/in training that day which made it even easier to navigate, climb, and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
As balance is not exactly my forte, Arturo was super-supportive and friendly and sometimes literally held my hand while he made the hikes both fun and safe. None of the hikes were too long (all below an hour including breaks and pauses). Arturo was also exceptional in offering to take the best pics during the hike. Apparently, there are over 300 caves in Bonaire, which we never knew.
The last one ends at a cool pool where we had plenty of time to snorkel and explore the caves on our own. Though we were given flashlights (and you will DEFINITELY NEED them), it was thrilling to try the closest thing to a night snorkel.
In the end, we were each awarded with a Bonaire gift to take home.
We would rate this as a moderate physical activity. And you should definitely wear grippy shoes (sneakers or hiking shoes), not sandals.
If we could rate this excursion more than 5 stars, we would as it was the best excursion we did on our 10-day cruise! Thanks so much, Arturo, Ali, and Tom!!!

Cave tour Bonaire! - We had a great time exploring two dry caves and one wet cave! Our guide Antuno was the most excited, funny and best person for an activity like this! We learnt a lot about caves and the history about them.

Best excursion Bonaire has to offer - We had the best day with Arturo and Aliele. Those two made our day in Bonaire absolutely amazing. They have a fun sense of humor, very knowledgeable about the area and the caves. We would book with this company again and again.
Thank you for the best memories and the laughs!

Amazing experience! - This was an experience of a lifetime! We booked through Viator for one of our cruise excursions. The company was very accommodating with our ships later arrival time and adjusted our tour start time. Messaging through the aviator app was so easy and convenient for this!
Our guides Arturo and Salix were so fantastic! My children ages 14, 12 and 8 loved the entire experience! When my mother-in-law got nervous and didn’t feel comfortable with the 2nd and 3rd caves, one of the guides took her and my Father-in-law on a little guided tour of the area and they so appreciated that! Super accommodating! That being said, if you struggle with bifocals and depth perception, this may not be the excursion for you. You should also be steady/confident on your feet and have decent upper arm/hand strength, especially for the 3rd cave. I recommend wearing a water shoe or waterproof hiking shoe. Wear a swim suit for the last cave. You’re able to leave belongings in the guides van during each cave. Vans were very nice, A/C and trustworthy! 10/10 recommend and hope to do again!

Great Adventure and Tour Guide - Tour was fun, amazing and challenging at times. Our party consisted of a 16, 24 and 64 year olds(me). So ended up being a private family tour. Arturo and his newer trainee Alieke were our guides. I was very impressed with Arturo’s scientific, historical and cultural knowledge of the caves and island.
From reading about other tours, we brought our own head lamps. While not necessary with this tour operator’s excellent diving torches, still frees up a hand when climbing inside.
We did three caves. One climbs down an aluminum ladder to enter and exit first cave. It is bolted and cemented to rock so no movement of ladder at all. Very safe. Beautiful rock formations and colors. Saw two bats.
Second cave was simply climbing over the pointy limestone. Do wear closed toe footwear.
Third and best cave including swimming in refreshing cool water. Yes, as described, the caves are hot and humid. You will sweat.
This cave entry and exit required the use of a rope to assist with footing. Arturo was right there ready to assist each of us. He tells you exactly where to place your foot for best climbing.
Other than scuba diving, this was best part of our adventure vacation.
Also great customer service. When booking tour, our hotel was not on drop down menu. I hit the contact operator option in Trip Advisor and Arturo responded quickly and picked us up at our hotel exactly on time.

Awesome Cave experience - Arturo was a fantastic guide! The cave tour was amazing. Very intimate with only our party of 4. Arturo stressed safety first and took his time helping everyone through the difficult spots. It was a really enjoyable afternoon seeing a less traveled part of the island.
