jimmymed3 Posted February 8, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hey everyone, Just wanted to give a quick review of our experience renting a golf cart from Bonaire Cruisers. We had such a great time! The rental place is about a 6-7 minute walk from the pier. They say to head to the tent at the pier first, but im not sure if you really need to do that. Check in was quick and easy. It was $95USD for the day and $100 refundable deposit. We were surprised that all of the carts were literally brand new. We went December 2019 aboard the Crown Princess. The biggest tip that we can give is one that the company tells you in the confirmation email...download Maps.me (it is an app). I dont know how it works, but it does. You basically download the map of the ABC islands and it works just like a GPS, even without cell service. We were able to find landmarks and places to eat, just like you would on Google Maps. The paper map that they give you is pretty easy to follow as there is literally only one road out of town. The carts dont go all that fast, but its a nice leisurely stroll. One more tip-The guard shack at the salt flats had a wooden box that had chunks of salt you can bring home for free. We didnt know this until we got back to the ship(we bought some in town). Feel free to check out our video below to see what all we did in Bonaire! Its was our favorite island on the cruise, and now the Caribbean! 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted March 20, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We did this back in November and loved it as well. Had the opportunity to capture some of the most beautiful pictures of any trip we've taken. It was hot, though...and it was November. Plenty of sun too so take your sun screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccturner26 Posted March 25, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This remind me so much of Grand Turk, where we got a cart. I will definitely check into it for Bonaire! Thanks for the great video and tips! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14Terry Posted June 5, 2020 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I’ve rented the carts in the past and will be again in April. You can go where you want, at your own pace. Bonaire Cruisers is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgreg Posted July 20, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hi, they list South Side tours and North Side Tours, we are going to be there 8AM-9PM, I presume there is time to do them both, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCruiseCruise13 Posted August 24, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Does anyone know if they offer half day rentals? We’re in port 10a - 11p and plan to do a snorkel excursion in the morning until 2pm. We’d also like to see the salt flats and hopefully some flamingos. Would a GC rental be best, or a would a taxi or afternoon tour be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just stop by the provider and see if anything is available and wing it. Don't want to pay for a full day unnecessarily - can't wait to be there in just over 3 weeks!!

My wife and I have been there twice and we did North and South tours and still had plenty of time to see all parts including a bar stop for refreshments on each leg of the respective tours. And stopping to see various picture stops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoRoy218 Posted October 16, 2022 #18 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Appreciate and enjoyed your review. Convinced us to make a reservation, which I did. We’ll be there in late December. Did you just randomly stop at certain places or did you have a list? Suggestions for stops? Thanks! Edited October 16, 2022 by JoRoy218 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
