About us: We, Luc and Nataliya, the enthusiastic owners of BonairePhotoShoot-Island Tours, immigrated 8 years ago to Bonaire. Since the moment we arrived we have enjoyed living on this beautiful island. The first impression when visiting Bonaire is feeling the quiet and laid- back atmosphere. The unspoiled island has a fantastic climate and very hospitable inhabitants. These 19.000 inhabitants live in and around the small capital of Kralendijk, where the cruise ships also dock. Right outside Kralendijk is a haven of peace where 2/3 of the island is a nature reserve. The beautiful landscape shows many unexpected highlights.
Joining us on our island tour is the perfect way to see Bonaire. In our 2 spectacular open-air buses the trade winds give natural air conditioning and beautiful unblocked views. On the cruise ship market Nataliya is the friendly hostess who welcomes our guests. Luc drives this season in the new open bus and our good friend Anita drives our second open bus. Luc and Anita are both enthusiastic and experianced tour guides. To enjoy an unforgettable experience we'd like to invite you for our wonderful sightseeing tour with BonairePhotoShoot-Island Tours.

An overview of our South Tour:
Te Amo Beach / Viewing point: 5 minutes after departing from Kralendijk we’ll make our first stop at Te Amo Beach to introduce you to the Marine Park. This short stop allows you to enjoy the tranquil environment and the spectacular colors of the reef of Bonaire. The uninhabited nature island of Klein Bonaire is located in front of us and with the cruise ship in the background, the first unforgettable pictures can be taken here!
The salt Flats and salt mountains: Driving along the Caribbean Sea we’ll pass Donkey Beach and the neighborhood of Belnem until we get to the protected nature of the south. Here we’ll first visit the huge salt company with a salt production of over 400,000 tons of sea salt per year. In this fairytale surrounding you’ll see 20 m2 miles of pink- until light green salt pools- again the great colors are impressive. Close to the pink pools and the salt mountains we will have our second stop.
Slave huts and salt plantations: Continuing our round trip we’ll pass mangrove trees, sea turtle nesting beaches and the blue-, white-, red- and orange obelisks of the salt plantations. Here we’ll take time to explain the history and culture with a break at the orange slave houses- and plantation.
Caribbean flamingos: The salt flats in the south are an excellent location to admire the Caribbean flamingos on Bonaire. The protected flamingo sanctuary is located in the heart of the south. You can find these beautiful shy birds in the shallow waters of the salt flats and lakes, where they’re continually on the move, searching for food.
The wild coast: Driving in the direction of North/North-East we’ll arrive on a totally different coastline. For the biggest part of the year regular trade winds bring in turbulent waves that splash high up on the rocks of the spectacular wild coast of the island. At the most southern point we’ll pass the lighthouse from the south, the “Willemstoren”. The first European explorers appeared here on the horizon. Nowadays, on a quiet day, divers can search for cannons and anchors from that period in front of the coastline.
Sorobon Beach and Lac Bay: Unexpectedly the road along the south ends with the colors from Sorobon beach and Lac Bay; the largest shallow bay in the Caribbean and with that a wonderful beach. During this last break guests can take a cool drink at the Caribbean beach bar, and take a swim or a walk to the nearby local fishing harbor. The tour ends with a drive of about 15 minutes through the center of the island back to Kralendijk and the cruise ship market.
For guests who want to spend more time at this beautiful place there is a great option: well organized taxi’s can bring guests back to the cruise ship market for only $ 5.00 per person any time they’d like. During this short break our guests have this half hour to decide how to plan the rest of their day on Bonaire. A longer stay at Sorobon and Lac Bay or take more time to discover Bonaire futher more?
