Know before you go

The cave tour is a physical tour that requires good mobility and health. Guests must be able to duck, bend, crouch, and step up with ease.
Bonaire caves are in their natural state and do not have paved paths or safety barricades. Your guide will lead and assist you as needed, but please note that you must remain aware at all times. Caves are naturally hot and humid, and the air in some sections can be dense. People with breathing restrictions should not attempt this tour. One cave entrance has a ladder, and another has a rock descent where your guide will assist if needed.
Age requirement: 8+
The guide has full discretion during the tour to alter the experience for the group based on physical ability or cave conditions. Your safety is our priority. Please wear closed shoes, not flip-flops.
