About This Tour
An experienced guide will lead you to Bonaire's wildly beautiful East side on this tour. Often missed by tourists, the island's east side has breathtaking views of crashing waves hitting the rocky coast, cliff-like cave corals, "Bocas" or mouths of the sea, and unobstructed views. Numerous boats ship-wrecked on this side of the island before a lighthouse was put in place, and there's proof that native Indians inhabited some of the cliff coves at one point. Your guide will take you to one such cove and show you Indian inscriptions that are believed to be markings of the Arawak Indians. They have been dated back to at least the 15th century. Our next stop will be Boca Onima, where you can feel the power of the waves surging against Bonaire's shore and view the wind turbines crucial in supplying energy to the land. Just be sure to hold on to your hat! Throughout this journey, your guide will point out nature and history and tell you about Bonaire culture.
