The Magical North Tour combines the highlights of Bonaire’s famous northern loop with hidden gems of this diverse region.

The West Coast
You begin along the Queen’s Highway, the coastal road heading north. The route is known for its breathtaking ocean views, but you also discover hidden trails along cliffs, rock formations, and an intriguing cave where you see traces from the time when Bonaire rose from the sea. Further on, an abandoned plantation house awaits. Your guide’s stories bring these places to life. With some luck, you may spot the lora, Bonaire’s parrot, or the crested caracara, a striking bird of prey. Binoculars are always at hand.

The Inland
In the north, the journey turns inland. After enjoying the impressive view over Lake Goto, you descend to the shore to admire flamingos up close and learn all about these iconic birds. Passing the wells of Dos Pos, you arrive in Rincon, a colorful Caribbean village with a rich and turbulent history, where you can visit the church. On the edge of the village, you drive past Mangasina di Rei, the second-oldest building on Bonaire, tied to a poignant past.

The East Coast
After Rincon, the route leads into the rugged landscape of the east coast. You visit Plantation Onima with its wild sea, deeply eroded bays, silent moonlike plains, and vast cactus forests. The ancient rock art introduces you to the Caiquetio, Bonaire’s first inhabitants. At Piedra Boneiru, you hear the myth of Bojnaj, the island’s legendary first man.

Customize
Finish your exploration with a beautiful view over either Rincon or Kralendijk. The choice is yours!
