Enjoyable Tour southern Bonaire! - On Thursday, March 28, 2024, Kirsten picked us up for a tour of the southern part of Bonaire. We first went to Sorobon, where it was very quiet because of the reversal (no wind) and not a surfer in sight. Normally very colored by all the sails of the surfers! They were setting up tents all along the beaches. Easter weekend there is always free camping and partying. Along the way we encountered Wara Wara (birds of prey), pelicans, donkeys, herons, agave, aloe Vera, cactus wall, salt pans, goats and slave houses. We also learned a bit of history about Bonaire. Thank you Kirsten for the fun tour! Jenny&Tecla.

Wonderful Tour - Marco gave us the best tour of Bonaire. He was on time, so knowledgeable. He truly loves Bonaire and shared so much of the history and traditions on the island with us. He was able to show us the flamingoes, donkeys and goats that roam free on the island. Marco answered all of our questions. We would highly recommend Marco for any tour

Great ecology tour of Bonaire one of a kind island - Marco excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide/driver in comfortable SUV. Was really an ecology emphasized tour because of Bonaire’s topography Marco knew his stuff. Definitely recommend. Just don’t be like some people we saw invading the off limits flamingo sanctuary but I guess there are always some rude and selfish people who travel. Good tour with most pleasant guide. Ask for Marco

SPECTACULAR TOUR GUIDE - Kirsten is a big reason that Bonaire has now become our favorite new island destination! Both her knowledge and SUNNY PERSONALITY have hugely enriched our two recent trips to the island .
With her, we have done South Island, North Island plus several snorkeling tours and all have been extremely memorable. We have gone from the dramatic Atlantic coast, to inland lakes and Indian petroglyphs to the pink salt flats and flocks of flamingos in the south . In Rincon, at a distillery, we were so thrilled to see three bright green parrots and other tropical birds in the courtyard trees while we were sipping local rum!
One of the most dazzling sights I have seen in my life was at SOROBON, where rainbow-hued wind surfers raced across the many shades of pale blue water. Kirsten showed us the historic slave huts on our way to a terrific snorkel at Pink Beach.
A tremendous perk is the fantastic photos that Kirsten will take of your experiences together, on land and undersea. At Pink Beach, only Kirsten spotted a Spotted Moray Eel
and now we have photos of that magical moment !
Kirsten simply loves meeting people and sharing with them the Bonaire she loves. She will put a personal spin on your travel experience and it will utterly transform your vacation ! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!!

Excellent private guise - For my holiday in Bonaire I booked several trips with Kirsten and they wereld all excellent. The snorkel tour was so great I booked a second one. She takes the time to get you comfortable in the water and shows you everything there is to see in the beautiful underwater world.
I also had the pleasure to go on two eiland tours with Kirsten. One tour to the south side of the island with the salt lakes and slavery houses. The other tour was to the north side which is completely different and more beautiful than the south side. Kristen takes the time to show you everything you want to see and stops at the most beautiful places. She makes the trips very personal, fitting it to your wishes. I highly recommend trips with Kirsten, whether it is a snorkel tour or a tour of the island itself. Well worth the money!
