As a local guide and professional photographer, your guide knows exactly which places are worth your time. On location, Bas assists you with practical matters such as clearing away distracting litter, removing salt residue from your lens, or carrying your gear. You can also use him as a sounding board. He is happy to provide tips to help you get the best settings, angles, and perspectives, resulting in images you can be proud of.

You travel in a clean, modern pick-up truck, the perfect vehicle for exploring Bonaire’s unpaved roads. The truck also serves as a mobile tool: a hide for photographing wildlife, a raised platform for a better viewpoint, and a safe place for your equipment. Along the way, you set the pace. We also make sure you take time for short breaks with fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks of your choice. After all, a private tour can have a touch of luxury.
