Great Opportunity to visit the middle of the island! - We had a blast exploring Rincon and the middle half of the island with GiGi! She was informative, and took us all over the middle of the island. It included 1000 Steps, flamingoes just near the park, the Cross overlooking Kralejndik, the Cadushy Distillery, and an incredible place for a bite to eat during our visit. You could tell how much she loved the island and loved sharing it with others. We are really glad we got an opportunity to do this tour (the day after getting engaged) as it was a fun, relaxing way to see beyond the beaches.

Guided tour review - We had the pleasure of being the only two on a guided tour of Bonaire/Rincon with Ephraim. What a delightful day we had! Ephraim' s knowledge of the island was very helpful. We went to the Rincon Museum to learn about the history of the area. We got to see a lot of the countryside as well. We made a stop at the Cadushi distillery and learned about the process of making liqueurs and spirits that are named after the other five islands in this chain. The distillery is actually very small, but made over 28,000 bottles of liqueur/spirits this past year. Our visit also included tasting. We also had an orientation of the small shopping street. Our trip concluded with lunch at Konfur restaurant. The trip to the museum and lunch were an additional charge ($5 p/p at museum; less that $20 total for 2 at lunch). Would definitively work with Shekinah Tours again!
