At HopiBonaire, you are in the right place. Your bird photography tour is fully tailored to what you are looking for, because you design it yourself. Whatever your photography style, your adventure on Bonaire will be unforgettable.

Every photographer has their own preferences, and Bonaire offers opportunities for them all. Whether you focus on birds in flight, detailed portraits, atmospheric silhouettes, or birds in stunning landscapes, whatever your style, Bonaire provides a unique setting for every type of photography.

You travel in a clean, modern pick-up truck, the ideal vehicle for exploring Bonaire’s unpaved roads. The truck also serves as a mobile base: a hide for photographing birds, a raised platform for a better viewpoint, and a safe place for your equipment. In bird-rich areas, we step out to search for the perfect shots.

As both a bird expert and a professional photographer, your guide knows exactly what you need. During the tour, Bas assists you with practical matters such as spotting birds, predicting and interpreting their behavior, finding the best line of sight, and carrying your gear. You can also use him as a sounding board. He is happy to share tips that help you achieve the best settings, angles, and perspectives, leading to images you can truly be proud of.

Along the way, you set the pace. We also make sure you take short breaks to enjoy fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks of your choice. After all, a private tour can certainly include a touch of luxury.

You will be accompanied by an all-round guide who is not only knowledgeable about photography but also about Bonaire’s nature, culture, history, and geology. This is helpful if you want to learn more about your subjects while photographing, but also ideal if you are traveling with someone who is not necessarily interested in photography.

You can easily combine your passion for photography with other photographic interests or activities, such as hiking or snorkeling. This way, your tour becomes a personal adventure that perfectly matches what you enjoy most.
