Day 01
Cove, Indian Inscriptions, and Boca Onima
- Get picked up from the port or hotel.
- On this tour, an experienced guide will lead you to the wildly beautiful east side of Bonaire. Often missed by tourists, the island's east side has breathtaking views of crashing waves hitting the rocky coast, cliff-like cave corals, "bocas," or mouths of the sea, and unobstructed views. Numerous boats were shipwrecked on this side of the island before a lighthouse was put in place, and there is proof that native Indians once inhabited some of the cliff coves.
- Your guide will take you to one such cove and show you Indian inscriptions believed to be markings of the Arawak Indians. They have been dated back to at least the 15th century.
- Your next stop will be Boca Onima, where you can feel the power of the waves surging against Bonaire's shore and view the wind turbines that play a crucial role in supplying energy to the land. Just be sure to hold on to your hat!
- Throughout this journey, your guide will point out nature and history and tell you about Bonaire culture. You will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore.
- Get dropped off at your ship or hotel.
