January 8, 2022 Flossie Demartino

Are there more flamingos than people on Bonaire? It's possible, and it's part of this unspoiled island's appeal. Bring your binoculars and your scuba gear to make the most of Bonaire's natural charms: more than 200 different species of birds live here, and the island itself draws divers from around the world to its reef-lined coast, a National Maritime Park.

The best way to experience Bonaire Washington Park Tour is with a guide who knows the most beautiful spots! Beautiful and unspoiled are understatements when describing Bonaire Washington Slagbaai National Park. Discover its treasures on this specially guided tour through hidden coves, secluded beaches, salt lakes & magical watering holes.

With a flexible itinerary, you will have plenty of opportunities to admire and photograph the flora & fauna in their natural habitats.

Great adventure in a 4wd vehicle up in the national park. We visited nature formations, flamingos, blow holes, snorkel spot, and had lunch. The guide was very informative about the landscape and wildlife. This tour is exactly as it is described. I enjoyed it very much.

Thank you Naomi for our Kayak Mangrove Lac Bay booking. It was a beautiful sunny day on the water of Lac Bay. Our guide provided much interesting information about plants and animals and the best part of this trip was definitely snorkeling. Very pleased with the tour and the arrangements made for this last minute trip.
