Bonaire has a lot of tourist activities to do on the island. In addition to all the tourist activities, the island also has many secrets. Below we have listed some tips that you will not easily encounter on websites.

Have you not yet booked your trip 🧳 and are you still looking for a location to stay? Then visit our website or the website of our other beach houses. ➡️ www.villaganshibonaire.com / www.villakikibonaire.com / www.pelicanreefbonaire.com

1️⃣ Bolivia Caves of Bonaire

Bonaire has a very beautiful cave system which has beautiful wall paintings from the past and stalagmites and stalactites. The cave is located in a secret place to ensure that not everyone enters it without a guide, given the animals that live there such as bats 🦇.

Visit Bonaire Cave Tours for a guided tour and discover the beautiful caves where snorkeling is even possible.

2️⃣ Indian inscriptions Bonaire 🇧🇶

The Arawak Indians have left drawings on rock walls and in caves all over the Caribbean. These paintings have been well preserved and can be viewed in approximately ten places on Bonaire.

Locations:
🔘Boca Onima - east side of Bonaire (north) (sign indicated from the road)
🔘Caranja Grandi - west side of Bonaire (mid) (behind the airport)
🔘Cueba di Roshikiri - East side of Bonaire (mid)
🔘 Ceru Pungic
🔘 Ceru Crita-Cabai
🔘 Fountain - East Side of Bonaire (North)
🔘 Cavern - east side of Bonaire (mid) (near the lighthouse)

3️⃣ Mangrove Kanoën 🛶

Mangroves are one of Bonaire’s most important ecosystems. Discover them with an experienced nature guide on this clear-bottom kayak 🛶 tour of Lac Bay’s mangroves, with snorkeling 🤿 gear so you can see even more. Learn about four different species of mangroves and the complex relationship between plants 🌱 , animals and fish 🐠 as you paddle.

Go to Mangrove Center, located at Kaminda Lac 140 Kralendijk or visit their website www.mangrovecenter.com

4️⃣ Seru Largu - Lookout Point ⛰

View Bonaire from height by going to Seru Largu. On this mountain there is a monument which has been placed by the Council of Churches on Bonaire.
The location can be reached by car 🚗.

5️⃣ Cliff Jumping

For the adventurers / daredevils, the last tip is my own favorite. In the STINAPA national park you can rock jump at Boca Slagbaai. A beautiful height in a beautiful location. In addition to rock jumping, you can also enjoy the view and BBQ 🍗

Nice review from guests who stayed for the 5th time at Villa Ganshi. thanks Tamara

Zen time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely love Villa Ganshi. This was my fifth stay there (previously stayed at adjacent Pelican Reef which is also fabulous). It is quiet, private, great snorkeling/diving right there. Mark the caretaker is wonderful. I hope to return next year. I understand there will be a new owner and hope she keeps things the same.

28/01/2020

Nice review from last weeks guests, thanks Megan 🌞🌞

What a dream! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an amazing stay at Villa Ganshi. The location was perfect for us, just a short walk to the dive shop. Plus there is great diving and snorkeling right in front of the house! We saw turtles, multiple types of eels, and of course fish just snorkeling near the house. The property itself is clean and comfortable. The AC provided in the bedrooms was perfect for us northerners. The kitchen has everything you could need to make meals. When we were at the house, we spent most of our time sitting on the loungers on the patio. There’s only one hammock, so naturally we had to compete to get to it first everyday. Lastly, a big thank you to Mark for picking us up at the airport and showing us where everything is. Normally prior to a vacation I research everything and am fully prepared. I put that off and then was too swamped to get it done. When we arrived in Bonaire and Mark met us at the airport, all of my worry went away. The whole trip I felt like I never really had to worry because I could just text him. I didn’t have to do that but it felt comforting to have someone like him when you’re traveling to a new location. When you first arrive on vacation you want the vacation part to start as soon as possible. You don’t want to fiddle with checking in or worrying about where you’re supposed to be. Mark took all of that away and allowed our vacation to begin as soon as we left the airport. Thank you Mark!

01/12/2019

Nice words from guests some weeks ago. Thanks Tacey.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great quiet, secluded get away. We had friends join us for part of our stay and the lay out of the house afforded us room to enjoy privacy as well as the beautiful Caribbean sea. The house was clean and the kitchen nicely appointed. Mark picked us up at the airport and was very helpful and attentive! We have visited Bonaire over 20 times since 2006 and found this house dive truly beautiful, living up to its name "Something Special"! Thanks for sharing your home with us and we definitely highly recommend.

Nice words from guests staying last week. Thanks Judy & Bob

"Love this place" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Third stay at Villa Ganshi and, once again, we loved staying here! The location is perfect....being able to walk right into the water to swim, snorkel or dive can’t be beat! Loved the tile renovation in the Master suite bedroom and bath. This place is our go to vacation spot! Judy and Bob

10/04/2019

Nice words from guests 3 weeks ago, thanks Aarnout & Talitha.

A well equipped house. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just back from villa Ganshi. It was our third time in this wonderful house. The master bedroom has a renovated bathroom. The house is very well equipped , good sun beds with cushions, and enough towels .The kitchen is small but has a large fridge and outside a good barbecue. We lived outside and stayed at home to enjoy the view. Contrary to many houses on the sea which do not have a pier, acces to the sea is easy. We have already booked for next year.

09/03/2019

Nice makeover of Villa Ganshi, renovation Bed and bathroom and a nice new color on the house. :-)

Nice words from last week guests!! Thanks Lauren.

Beautiful house, perfect for a family! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Everything about our stay at Villa Ganshi was great, from the ideal location and layout of the house, to the well-stocked kitchen and amenities like laundry, snorkeling gear, and kayaks. The caretaker Mark was super responsive and helpful (including helping us find a place to buy fresh-caught fish!), and the ladies who did a mid-stay housekeeping visit did an awesome job. The house was particularly well-suited for our almost-2 year old, who had lots of different and safe places to play and run around. We have many happy memories of family dinners on the porch watching the sunset, and look forward to a return visit!
