Me and my boyfriend took a really nice tour to the northen parts of the island. Our guide Bas showed us a lot of hidden gems along the way which was great for our furteher trip when we would have our own car.
Bas noticed my love for birds and photographing so he offered to customice our tour, and of course we said yes! We visited some of the nicest bird locations outside the national park and we were very lucky to see hundereds of yellow-houldered amazons. Bas is also a photographer and knows the importance of time and patience when photographing wilflife.
I would take the tour again any day =)
We did the North tour. Sebastian was full of knowledge about the history of the island and very informative about nature, birds, trees, and plants. We took a hike for a great view of the island, then we headed to the other side of the island, very beautiful. We had a wonderful day. We highly recommend this trip.
Today, my husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing the unique private tour “The Magical North” on Bonaire. It was an unforgettable journey filled with hidden gems and treasures that gave us a new perspective on the island.
Sebastian, our guide, enchanted us with his extensive knowledge of the magical and wide vistas, the diverse flora and fauna, and the rich history of Bonaire. We captured unique photo moments, from a nightjar and the blooming kibrahacha tree to a young, still white, flamingo.
Each stop offered a new view of Bonaire, and Sebastian shared fascinating stories and facts at every location. What made this tour extra special were the beautiful photos Sebastian took during our adventure. These photos serve as lasting memories of a day full of adventure and discoveries.
We are grateful for this exceptional experience and highly recommend the “The Magic of the North” tour with Sebastian to anyone who wants to discover Bonaire in a unique way.
Let me start by saying my son and I were thoroughly pleased with our tour with HopiBonaire (Bas).
I am a 28 years old female and this is my first time in a new country with my 6 year old son and we’re staying on a resort (Chogogo Dive & Beach Resort).
I contacted many different tour companies and HopiBonaire was the first and only company to communicate back to me and in a timely manner. Not only did I receive a welcome email I also received a call from Bas who sounded just as excited as I was for this adventure. Of course I was still a bit weary but I did do my research on all social media platforms, the country’s website, as well as with my front desk staff at my resort and everything checked out.
From start to finish beginning with efficient communication Bas and his wife were so kind, accommodating, very knowledgeable, and very patient. Most of all I felt safe! My son felt comfortable with Bas to walk with him and ask him many questions!! He kindly took our pictures when we asked and sometimes even used his own professional camera. This tour was from 7am to just about noontime by the time he dropped us off to our resort. The best day so far here on Bonaire full of adventure, definitely worth every cent! The viewpoints were all STUNNING 😍!
When I get good service I make sure I take the time to write a review that’s the least I can do to help the next person/family who visits this historically rich country and wants to explore the island beyond the resort. If I ever visit Bonaire in the future I know who to contact for sure and I’d recommend HopiBonaire to everyone!!
DEFINITELY DO IT!! We did 2 tours with HopiBonaire.
On Tuesdays, Washington Slagbaai National Park, and on Thursdays, a “customized” tour, The Magical North. Again, Sebastian showed us the most beautiful spots. The rugged coast, rock drawings, Devil’s Mouth, The 1000 Steps, beautiful views with lots of information about the (formation of) Bonaire. To top it off, a sunset while enjoying a drink.
Bas, they were 2 beautiful days with great service. Thank you for the photos you sent in the evening and the pleasant way of contacting us about booking, etc.
Best of luck with HopiBonaire.
The 2 ladies who didn’t want to walk 😊
Through friends, we heard about the tours of Bas and Jessica. These friends were very enthusiastic, so we booked “The Magical North” tour. This resulted in a beautiful, educational, and amazing excursion. The word “Magic” did its job.
With Bas as our guide, we had a fantastic tour. He knows a lot about the ins and outs of the island and showed us the most beautiful spots with stunning views. Furthermore, we spotted many special birds, including theOsprey, Caracara, Parakeet, Parrot, hummingbird and various thrushers.
The service was also excellent: we started with coffee/tea and some treats. Later in the morning, we enjoyed delicious fresh fruit, sultanas, and homemade iced tea. In short, it was a wonderful morning with a very pleasant guide (Bas) who shared fascinating stories.
If you are still hesitating, don’t do it, just book. It is definitely more than worth it.
If you want to see a different side of Bonaire instead of the regular tours, then Hopi Bonaire is the right choice. We had a great time!
Early in the morning, Bas and Jessica were ready to take us on a journey of discovery. After a beautiful climb to the top with a breathtaking view, we enjoyed a coffee break, followed by a tour along the north and east side of Bonaire.
Bas and Jessica have extensive knowledge of Bonaire and its nature. Since we started early, we spotted many birds that you wouldn’t easily see during the hotter hours.
We even had the chance to be “reborn” in the Bonairian way. It was a lot of fun.
The whole morning was perfectly organized, very enjoyable, and definitely worth repeating. So, you’ll see us again next time!
We had a fantastic private tour with HopiBonaire! We had chosen “The Magical North” tour. Bas had a lot to share about the island, the history of Bonaire, and the animals we encountered along the way.”
