Amazing experience - Visiting Bonaire with Kirsten during our Caribbean cruise remains a wonderful memory for us and one of the highlights of our trip !! Kirsten is a pleasant guide, passionate about her job and her island, and you can feel it during the visit. With Kirsten, you will discover the authentic Bonaire, sometimes straying from the tourist trails to discover the island's nuggets. We highly recommend putting your trust in Kirsten to visit Bonaire 🇧🇶

Totally Awesome - A private tour is the way to go when wanting to have the best experience ever. Marco was our guide and he was awesome and we had a wonderful experience. Marco was very knowledgeable and explained the history of Bonaire perfectly. We saw all the highlights, 1000 steps, Plantaion Karpata, Gotolake, Rincon, Seru larg, Sorobon, Salt flats, and Slave huts. When we were at Gotomeer we were lucky enough to see several flamingos. We even seen a couple Flamingos flying which was a great site. I found that the Salt mines to be very interesting. The Private Tour of Bonaire was definitely worth it. I will only do private tours to get the real enjoyment and history. At the end of our tour Marco asked if we were hungry. We said of course and he recommended a restaurant called It Rains Fishes. Wow, it was so good he wasn't kidding. My daughter and I want to thank Private Island Tours and Marco for a most memorable time in Bonaire.

Five Star Island Tour - I honestly can't say enough good things about our tour of Bonaire with Kirsten! We travelled around the entire island and saw so many amazing sites and learned all about the history of Bonaire. Kirsten knows the island so well, is a very safe driver and a strong advocate for the preservation of the island. Our tour was completely private and geared towards all the things that were of interest to myself and my family - the distillery, the beaches, the flamingos, the salt flats - we saw it all and so much more! Thank you Kirsten! We will see you again next time we visit Bonaire!

Don’t hesitate to book Kirsten - Loved traveling around the island with Kirsten. It was a nice and relaxed trip around the whole island. Stopped to take pictures wherever we liked. No rush to get back in the car until we were ready. Car was air conditioned so we remained comfortable. Kirsten was very knowledgeable and friendly and even used her own phone/camera to get some photos that I couldn’t get as easily from my side of the car. Got very lucky to see flamingos very close up which was quite unexpected. Highly recommend Kirsten as a tour guide. Loved meeting her.

A beautiful island with a lot of history. And attention to the conservation of nature - Beautiful island with beautiful views. We stayed in Sorobon, quiet part. Authentic place, highly recommended. Seen a lot and an extensive explanation by our guide Kirsten. We had a great time with her, she knew a lot about the rich history of the island. A very relaxed south/north tour.

Bonaire in a nutshell - Great individual tour with lovely Kristen. Kristen showed us the spotlights of Bonaire. We‘re offered cold water. We drove in a very comfortable SUV around the island. We would definitely go on a tour with Kristen again.

Don’t miss this tour it’s great! - Our tour was fabulous and our tour guide was amazing! I know it’s easy to just write a 5/5 review but having a local with experience of the Netherlands was an added bonus. We got to see all the island highlights, we never felt rushed and were sad when it ended and hope to do another tour soon!

The Perfect private tour of Bonaire. - A fantastic day around Bonaire. This is "the tour" to take if you want to go off the beaten path, see both the north and south, a lot of hot snorkeling spots, the windsurfers beach, the Salt flats, small hamlets and more. Perfect for a couple in Bonaire off a cruise ship. And Kisten was so sweet and highly knowledgeable. It was great!! .
