The owner is very knowledgeable and very friendly.<\/p>\n<p>We rode all over the south end of the island in a comfortable air-conditioned truck. We learned about the history and economy of the island while seeing all the natural beauty that exists on this island. Such a beautiful island! We visited all the advertised sites, but also places that only the locals know about. We were provided a wonderful snack and took a break on a beautiful beach and had a local beer. We ended the tour at the salt lakes and even got a bag of food grade salt to take home.<\/p>\n<p>I 100% recommend this company to you if you are interested in quality and quantity for your money.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Laura, Charlotte, Barb and Nicki&#8221; job_title=&#8221;Customized Tour&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/JRagi28rGqKwukND7&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/hopibonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Laura-Charlotte-Barb-and-Nicki.webp&#8221; quote_icon_color=&#8221;#10576A&#8221; quote_icon_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#10576A&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; author_text_color=&#8221;#10576A&#8221; author_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; position_text_color=&#8221;#10576A&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(93,192,201,0.1)&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We had an amazing morning with Jessica on New Years Eve.

We saw so many sites and Jessica gave wonderful background information on each site and how the island is preserving its wildlife and natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>We had a multigenerational group with several who already visited the island with everyone raving about Jessica showing us parts of the island we had never seen. This tour was a last minute find after one participant broke their foot and could not do the other tour planned. Jessica accommodated our group last minute and it was one of the highlights of our vacation to the ABC islands.

If you enjoy walking around with a crowd of people following some guy holding up a paddle sign, this is not for you.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"427\">I sent a message and even though it was less than a week away and the schedule was full they still managed to make time for me. They asked me what I would like to see and do, put together a personalized private tour and were very accommodating throughout.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"427\">If you are interested in seeing the island I would highly recommend HopiBonaire.

Her love and passion for the island, and all it has to offer, shone through!<\/p>\n<p>Her fluency in English and her ability to describe the wildlife and the history are truly impressive, not only that, her driving off road was skilful and I felt completely safe throughout the whole day.<\/p>\n<p>I also felt truly pampered and very much enjoyed the coffee and fruit at one stop and a very delicious lunch at another. The tapenade and goats cheese was scrumptious and I really would like the recipe!!<\/p>\n<p>Our day ended with a wonderful snorkelling trip and, as I had broken a bone in my sacrum earlier in the year, Jessica was very mindful of this and helped me navigate entry and getting out of the water. Relaxing with a beer on the beach at the end of this day, was very special.<\/p>\n<p>Another added bonus is that Jessica is an amazing photographer and so I felt I didn\u2019t need to capture all the shots and she had brought her very good camera for taking pictures of wildlife and shots more in the distance. There were two unusual happenings that Jessica captured beautifully with her camera. She all so brought binoculars so that I could get close-up views of the wildlife. Within a day she kindly sent photos to me, further wonderful memories of this trip.<\/p>\n<p>The whole day was a magical experience and Jessica\u2019s company was a joy indeed.

We were traveling with two children: one aged 8 and one aged 20, and both of them enjoyed it as much as we did!<\/p>\n<p>Sebastian picked us up at 7:30 am. Thanks to the jet lag, this was no issue at all, and it was still relatively cool outside. Sebastian had a comfortable car with excellent air conditioning. On our way through Kralendijk, we immediately spotted some special birds and donkeys, which we took a moment to admire. We did a \u201cnorth loop,\u201d and having a guide with us was highly recommended due to the (very) bad roads and poorly marked special locations. Without Sebastian, we would never have found the Indian drawings, the \u201cgoat cave,\u201d or Devil\u2019s Rock. We visited the beach at 1000 Steps, and at the end of a short walk, Sebastian had drinks and snacks ready for us to cool down a bit. Along the way, we spotted several unique birds like the Lora and Caracara. The fun part was that Sebastian had his own camera with a huge lens and took stunning photos for us\u2014a wonderful keepsake! He also had binoculars for everyone. Sebastian shared a lot of interesting facts along the way, giving places like Landhuis Karpata much more context and color.<\/p>\n<p>We drove a long stretch offroad\u2014definitely not a pleasant route to tackle yourself in a rental car\u2014but it led to some beautiful spots, like Playa and Sali\u00f1a Frans. It\u2019s a fantastic place for both bird watchers and snorkelers. We were lucky and even spotted a turtle in the water near us. Once again, Sebastian had drinks and snacks prepared, and he even brought a \u201cfreshwater shower\u201d to rinse off the saltwater. What service!<\/p>\n<p>We ended the tour with (many) flamingos, and we even rescued a night heron. We brought it to the bird rescue center, which was a special experience.<\/p>\n<p>It was an incredibly diverse adventure, perfectly organized down to the last detail.

We had a message the evening before with a photo of the meeting point, which was extremely helpful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Over the next 7 hours, we visited plantation ruins and learned of the tragic history of slavery on Bonaire. We saw wildlife in places of natural beauty which we\u2019d have not found on our own. We saw ancient indigenous drawings, remarkable in their original locations. We had a delicious homemade picnic lunch on a secluded beach, after spending an hour or more on a guided reef snorkel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The day was well planned, down to the intermittent restroom breaks and the binoculars available for each of us.

What are we going to do, Bas asked during our first conversation, an existing tour or something customized. It became a tailor-made day.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at Playa Frans and then the big loop in Washington-Slagbaai, all in all a day trip of about 9 hours. Bas knows the area like the back of his hand and shows you the most beautiful spots while telling a lot about the history of the island. The tour included lunch and drinks, Bas said and that was the case, coffee, fresh fruit, soft drinks and a delicious lunch (homemade salads).

Just ask them, and they will drive and guide you wherever you want to go. The unknown becomes familiar, and the amazement and wonder only grow. Bonaire has so much to offer!!! <\/span>By going on a tour with them, &#8220;doors&#8221; of Bonaire open that my mother and I would never have discovered on our own.<\/p>\n<p>We are enthusiastic, and actually, that is an understatement because we are not doing justice to what they have shown us and what they have to tell.
