Highlights of Bonaire & Cultural Experience (Bonaire)

Let our guide fill you with history and tell us about the history of the slave huts and the origins of the salt industry. Travel through the scenic rural area and learn about the dive site of the 1000 steps, bat caves, the natural flora and fauna, and the Karpata Plantation, where processed aloe was originally grown and exported, as you sail to Bonaire’s first settlement. Rincon is considered the oldest village in the Caribbean, hidden out of sight of the wandering pirates along the coast in the basin of the north hills. Visit the old traditional house, which has been transformed into a cultural history museum by the descendants of the original family. On your return journey to the ship, you’ll leave Rincon and travel through the northeastern desert-like area, which is home to giant cacti, wild donkeys, and crashing waves.
