Overview

That is a Unique Small Group Tour guided by a knowledgeable, Local Bonaire resident who Loves the Island!

Why Shekhinah Tours is Different: Unlike other tours, this is not a big bus experience with long wait times and impersonal guides. We want you to feel welcome to the island the moment you step off the ship, and we're excited to share our knowledge of the history, culture, economy and food on Bonaire!

You will be greeted personally and shown to your vehicle.

There is a maximum of 7 guests per vehicle, so you will personally interact with your guide throughout.

You will see all the major sites and highlights.

Because of this tour's minor group nature, you can ask questions and make custom requests if there's something you want to see. Time allows, and we'll do all we can to make this trip memorable for you and your group!
