Take the road less traveled on a 4WD road expedition, a fun and fast paced way to explore Bonaire's remote and rugged southern and eastern coastline and interior. Your three hour tour begins when you board a 4WD vehicle and leave Kralendijk, Bonaire's capital, traveling through the residential area of Belnem to the salt mountains, impressive, "snowy," white drifts of salt. You'll see the stone huts that slaves crawled into as they worked the salt pans, and perhaps you'll spot flamingos in the distance. Pass Willemstoren Lighthouse, Bonaire's oldest lighthouse and head to Sorobon Beach at Lac Bay. Watch as windsurfers brave the constant trade winds. Here, you can buy soft drinks or enjoy a complimentary bottle of water. Continue on dirt roads, bumpy at times, for approximately 80 minutes, heading along the wild east coast to explore the area of Washikemba with its colossal cacti, wild donkeys, iguanas and birds. Return to the pier with wonderful photos and memories.

Special Notes:

Tour sequence may vary. The 4WD vehicle is equipped with a sunroof - the sides are open and there is no air-conditioning. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Bring adequate sun protection. Tour is not recommended for pregnant women or those with neck/back conditions. Depending on rainfall, the dirt roads can be dusty or muddy. There is a rest room stop at Sorobon Beach. Soft drinks are available for purchase at this stop. Wildlife sightings, while common, are not guaranteed.
