Explore Bonaire's iconic southern coastline: pink salt pans, slave huts, flamingos and the famous coastal road.
About this tour
Explore the colorful and iconic southern coastline of Bonaire, where turquoise waters, pink salt pans and cultural landmarks tell the story of the island. Drive along the famous coastal road south of Kralendijk, passing beaches, mangroves and Caribbean scenery as the island slowly transforms into its most photogenic landscapes.
Stop at the historic slave huts — small stone shelters built in the 19th century for enslaved workers in the salt industry, one of the most powerful cultural landmarks on Bonaire. Continue to the world-famous salt pans, where white and pink salt flats stretch across the coastline, creating one of the most unique landscapes in the Caribbean.
Along the way you may spot flamingos feeding in the shallow salt waters and pass the iconic southern lighthouse. A short stop at Sorobon lets you watch the windsurfers in their natural habitat before driving back along the mangroves. The South Tour is a blend of nature, history and Caribbean coastline beauty — colorful, cultural and full of contrast.
