Washington Slagbaai National Park: Private North Island Safari

Explore Bonaire's wild, rugged northern interior — a vast national park of volcanic cliffs, flamingo lagoons, and hidden beaches — on a fully private guided safari with a local naturalist. The island's greatest natural drama, all to yourself.

What to expect

Depart the pier in a private air-conditioned vehicle heading north into the 13,500-acre Washington Slagbaai National Park. Your naturalist guide pauses at Goto Lake — a flamingo and parrot hotspot — then navigates dramatic coastal tracks to Boca Slagbaai, a turquoise cove perfect for a private snorkel. Interpretive stops explain the island's geology, flora, and Arawak heritage. The pace is leisurely and entirely yours to direct.

Good to know

The national park charges a separate entrance fee (approx. USD 45 per person; confirm on-site). Unpaved roads mean a 4WD vehicle is essential — your guide provides this. Allow at least 4 hours; confirm with your guide that the return fits your ship's all-aboard time. Bring water and sturdy closed-toe shoes.
