Bonaire’s highlights & Cultural Experience include a trip to the Salt hills and a flamingo refuge on the island’s south coast. We’ll also stop at the Slaves Huts and the lighthouse, where the guide will tell us about the slave huts’ history and the beginnings of the salt industry. Travel through the scenic countryside, learning about the 1000 steps dive site, bat caverns, natural life, flora and animals, and the Karpata Plantation, where processed aloe was originally cultivated and exported, while cruising to Bonaire’s first settlement community. Rincon is thought to be the Caribbean’s oldest village. Hidden away from the sight of the roving pirates along the shore in the basin of the north hills. Visit the old traditional home, which has been turned into a cultural historic museum by the original family descendants. On your route back to the ship, you’ll leave Rincon and travel through the north-eastern desert-like region, which has gigantic cacti, wild donkeys, and pounding waves.
