That is a Unique Small-Group Tour guided by a knowledgeable, Local Bonaire resident who loves the Island with 28 points of interest.
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! 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. You will experience local neighbourhoods to sample snacks and drinks native to this region.
Because of the minor group nature of this tour, you will be able to ask questions and make custom requests if there’s something, in particular you want to see. Time allows, and we’ll do all we can to make this trip memorable for you and your group!

At the start of the tour, we will tell you about the downtown area of Kralendijk. Downtown Kralendijk consists of a few streets and is easily walkable. Kaya Grandi is the Main Street, where you will find most shops, restaurants, and cafes. After the tour, we can drop you off in the centre if you want to do some shopping and walk around. If you're on a cruise, the ship port is about a 5-minute walk from the downtown district, and you can easily see and walk back to your ship before departure.
Harbour Village Marina is one of two marina facilities on the island where both local and visiting yachts can book moorings and stay on the island. It's also a haven for surrounding boats to seek shelter and calmer water during storms. We will share more about the role of the Marina on our tour.
