Overview
The best way to experience Bonaire Washington Park Tour is with a guide who knows the most beautiful spots!
Beautiful and unspoiled are understatements when describing Bonaire Washington Slagbaai National Park.
Discover its treasures on this special guided tour through hidden coves, secluded beaches, salt lakes & magical watering holes. Initially inhabited by the Caiquetio Indians, Bonaire Washington Park is the first nature sanctuary of the former Netherland Antilles.
Established in 1969 and located in the Northwest part of the island, it covered an area of roughly one-fifth of Bonaire. It had Slagbaai, the most extensive and productive plantations during the colonial period.
Today Bonaire Washington Slagbaai National Park and its pristine beaches are an important nesting ground for the sea turtles that visit the waters of our island, Bonaire. With a flexible itinerary, you will have plenty of opportunities to admire and photograph the flora & fauna in their natural habitats.
