Cave Exploring Tour with Local Guide.

(usd) $129

Description:

Bonaire is estimated to be home to over 400 hidden caves, yet many locals and tourists have never experienced them! With a tremendous underground ecosystem of stalactites and stalagmites that formed over thousands of years, our Cave Tour allows you to explore these magnificent structures with an experienced local cave guide.

With a small group, you will explore three various caves, including two dry caves and a wet/dry cave, where you can snorkel in freshwater and explore multiple caverns. During this active tour, you will climb down into multiple caves and explore and maneuver around beautiful formations, fossilized corals, imprints, and limestone with your guide’s help. It truly is one of the best-kept secrets on the Island and an experience unique to Bonaire. Whether you’ve lived on our Island for ages or only have a few hours here, you won’t want to miss it!

ATTENTION!!!!!

The Cave Tour is a physical tour that requires good mobility & health. Guests must be able to duck, bend, crouch, and step up easily.

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 constantly be aware. Caves are naturally hot and humid, and the air in sections can be dense. People with breathing restrictions should not attempt this tour. One cave entrance has a ladder, and another has a rocky descent where your guide will assist if needed.

Age Requirement: 8+

The guide has complete discretion during the tour to alter the experience for their group based on physical ability or cave conditions. Your safety is our top priority. Please wear closed-toe shoes and NOT flip-flops.
