ThanksYou can certainly drive them to the donkey sanctuary. Not sure you need to drive them *through* it. From what I have seen you walk around in the donkey sanctuary.

Nashna Posted September 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Did you stop at any beaches along the way? If so, were you able to go swimming? Did you go to the Slagbeai Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesneygirl Posted September 20, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Did you stop at any beaches along the way? If so, were you able to go swimming? Did you go to the Slagbeai Park? We made many stops along the way but never swam as it just seemed to rocky. Having said that we did stop for a couple of drinks at a beach bar called The Hangout and there were people swimming and laying out in the sun. The beach area was kind of small and there were quite a few people there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiny1 Posted October 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Does anyone know if you can use a credit card for the golf cart rental or cash only?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted October 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Does anyone know if you can use a credit card for the golf cart rental or cash only?? I am not sure, as we paid cash, but keep in mind....on top of the $100 rental charge, you also have to leave a $100 deposit, which you will get back when you return the cart.

Purplsmurf Posted October 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Does anyone know if you can use a credit card for the golf cart rental or cash only?? You can use a credit card. We were just there 2 weeks ago. We actually paid the $95 with our cc and the $100 deposit with cash so we could get that back immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDivot Posted October 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Chesney Girl - wow your videos are awesome. I totally want to do Bonaire by golf cart, but I also want to maybe take the ferry to Klein Bonaire and snorkel a bunch. What a dilemma...LOL Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have decided to do Bonaire by golf cart but we will only use the golf cart for four hours. We will take a boat trip in the afternoon because we also want to snorkel. Wish we had more than one day. We will be in Bonaire in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDivot Posted November 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Springfire - we're doing the opposite in Bonaire: snorkel in the morning and golf cart in the afternoon. Not sure how that will work. I've sent an email asking do we need to pick up the cart first thing and then go snorkel or will they hold two carts knowing we're there after the snorkel. When are you going in Feb? We're on the Feb 22 Silhouette. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you going in Feb? We're on the Feb 22 Silhouette. Pam Have you heard from them regarding your plans? I ask because when we were there in September we were told that the latest we could pick up the golf cart was 9:00...the ship arrived at 7:00 am...if it wasn’t picked up by then they would rent it out to someone else. They sell out well in advance and if it isn’t picked up by 9 they would rent it out to someone on the waitlist or that didn’t have a reservation. They wouldn’t hold anything because they didn’t want to take the chance of the person not showing up and then they would be without the $$ for that golf cart for the day. We ended up taking it for the whole day, but if we wanted to snorkel we would’ve done the golf cart in the morning and snorkeled in the afternoon. That was our only option.

LadyDivot Posted November 2, 2018 #17 Share Posted November 2, 2018 PurplSmurf (you should get a very cool pic for this!), Thanks for responding and giving me a heads up. I wrote to Debbie last week and she had plenty of carts. I wrote to her today and they are sold out for our cruise! Our option is to go on the waiting list or to rent carts in the afternoon post morning snorkel - assuming folks bring them back. She said they usually get some back around 12 noon. If we do that, the cost goes down to $60! It's a risk for sure. There is an afternoon snorkel that we could take and then hope for the best for the waiting list. I think our chances are pretty good for the waiting list, but the afternoon rental would be a crap shoot. There are 4 of us so we'd need 2 carts. Another thing to consider. What do you think, my friends? Did any of you that rented carts in the morning come back by noon or noon-ish? Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends who were able to get a golf cart when they were put on a waiting list for golf carts. I think because they don't require a deposit, some people don't show up, it also depends what ships are in port and the times they are in port. Enjoy your cruise on the Silhouette, we did a transatlantic cruise from Rome and she remains one of our favorite ships. We will be on the Jewel of the Seas for this cruise leaving Feb 1.

smith6 Posted November 14, 2018 #19 Share Posted November 14, 2018 We will be in Bonaire Feb and would like to rent a golf cart. Anyone tell us if we have to reserve in advance or can we just grab one when we get off the ship. Also what is the cost and is it easy to navigate around Bonaire without getting lost. Any info would be helpful. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info would be helpful. Thanks You definitely have to book in advance. I would try immediately as they might already be sold out. It is $95 to rent the cart and they also require a $100 deposit which you will get back when you return the cart. They give you a map and go through it pretty thoroughly with you. There is a north and south route. If you don’t stop for an extended period of time both can easily be done in a day. We didn’t stop to do any snorkeling, but we did make a few stops. We were in port 7-4. We picked up the cart at 9, which was the latest they would let us get it. After both tours we were finished about 1:30 so we had plenty of time. We enjoyed the north route much more, but a lot of people that want to snorkel enjoy the south route. Hope you get the chance to go! Enjoy!

Thanks Hi yes you can drive through the donkey sanctuary on the golf carts. we did so on our Reflection cruise in April and it was the highlight of our time in Bonaire. The donkeys would chase the cart and stick their head in. It was so much fun I have pictures and more info in the review linked in my signature.
