Luc was very personable and passionate about Bonaire. We learned a lot, while driving around in his cool open aired van. We enjoyed all the sites, saw so many flamingos and donkeys and loved the beach stop. The salt flats were amazing. The bonus was meeting his daughter who he spoke so highly of, and helped paint his van. Highly recommend this tour especially with a group of friends. Would definitely book Luc again when back in Bonaire.
Good tour, great guide very pleasant and knowledgeable.On time very helpful with everyone getting on and off the bus. Would recommend.
If you are in Bonaire and would like to see the island in a fun and informative way book Luc’s homemade open Air private bus tour! Luc was exceptional, fun, and knowledgeable and kept us entertained for three hours. During the tour you will learn the history of Bonaire good and bad while seeing the beauty of the entire island! Flamingo’s flying in a big flock was one of the highlights, along with the free range donkeys, kite boarding, wind surfing, shipwreck diving, salt farming, and a stop at The Good Vibes bar and cantina. Luc is one of the best tour guides we have encountered.
We had 11 of us and plenty of room in the van. It was a great tour. Really got see a lot and Luc was great!
We had a fantastic experience with Luc on our private tour of Bonaire. He accommodated our entire itinerary, spent extra time to ensure we saw everything we wanted, and never made us feel rushed. His friendly personality and passion for the island made the experience more enjoyable. Highly recommend Luc to anyone looking for a personalized and memorable tour in Bonaire!
Luc showed our family of 7 just about the whole island in half a day. Better than in a closed air-conditioning van, you have good connection to the outside world in his cozy open truck. Luc plays cheerful Caribbean music and gives fun and useful local information through the intercom. That helped us a lot the rest of the holiday. Luc’s private tour is highly recommended for anyone who loves fun and conviviality
Luv was great. I highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of my cruise. I think it was for the other 9 family and friends that took the tour with me. We all learn so much and had a fun time!!
Hello dear Vicky! I’m so happy to hear that you all enjoyed my Private Bonaire Open Bus tour so much. Thank you very much for wonderful your 5-star review. Sunny regards, Luc 🏝️☀️
Great excursion while in Bonnaire on a cruise ship. Luc took around all of the Southern areas of Bonnaire in an open air bus. Sometimes it was a little difficult to hear his narration, he would have to stop and turn to us as several of us were a little hard of hearing. All in all a wonderful morning.
Fantastic that your private group enjoyed a wonderful morning while touring southern Bonaire in my Happy Caribbean Open Bus! Thank you for your warm words and your 5-star review. Sunny greetings, Luc.
This is a fun bus that he’s made into a beach cruiser— very knowledgeable about the area very helpful with my child that had a sunburn-super fun trip. I highly recommend.!
Great to hear that your family enjoyed the open-air island tour! We saw a lot and shared plenty along the way, and I’m glad I could help your child by applying aloe vera—the best remedy for sunburn. Thank you for your recommendation! Sunny regards, Luc
This was a fabulous trip. Everyone thought is was very informative and fun. Some had been to Bonaire before but this tour surpassed other tours. I plan tours for groups and would recommend this to all.
Hello dear Nancy, thank you for your wonderful review and the high appreciation for the tour you took with your amazing private group in the cheerful and cozy Happy Open Air Bus with me. Sunny greetings, Luc.
