gunner410 Posted October 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2020 We have a cruise booked that stops in Bonaire and we like the idea of the golf carts. We hope to do both north and south tours. Do the carts have gas to do both or do we have to fill it up along the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b7440 Posted December 9, 2020 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2020 We did this 2 years ago, you will be able to do both no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beav2 Posted May 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Where do we find the golf carts to rent? Should we try and reserve one and do you remember how much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Terry Posted May 23, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2021 You can reach them at info@bonairecruisers.com. A great way to see/tour Bonaire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMo Posted May 27, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Definitely reserve one. They sell out. Had a great time using these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lele100 Posted June 1, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hi there, do they give you a map on where to drive? and places to stop? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeal Posted June 2, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yes. If you email them they will send you a link to see the routes. They do require a reservation but do not require a deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseVA Posted January 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Their website gives some info and how to contact them by phone or email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud_Shark Posted January 14, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2022 We made a reservation for this coming fall of '22. They say they will provide a map with directions for doing both north and south loops. Looking forward to it. Still a long way off though.

Nashna Posted February 15, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2022 We used Bonaire cruisers for our January 29th cruise. We had been to Bonaire in the past and had always done water tours. On the Bonaire cruisers web site you can see videos of both the North and South trips. We took our time and did the North route which was fantastic. There were not a lot of places to stop along the way to get a drink, so I recommend bringing your own. We stopped at an overlook which offered a portable john. It was immaculate. The map they gave us was helpful. The golf cart was in excellent condition as it was brand new. Everyone working at Bonaire cruisers was friendly and helpful. This was a highlight of our cruise and a bargain at just $99.00. Be sure to reserve in advance as they do sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very few places to stop for drinks and lunch...is this true for both north/south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashna Posted February 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 18, 2022 There were plenty of places right at the beginning and the end of the trail. We opted to just do the North, but some folks did both in the one-day rental. At one point there was a large sign on the road to take the trail to a restaurant, but we opted to take the route that included the flamingos. We could have done both and backtracked. We had plenty of cold water with us that we bought from the ship and had a large breakfast that morning, so not stopping wasn't an issue. But it would have been nice to have a frosty beverage along the way. You might want to watch the video of the route as it gives you a good indication of what you will experience along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I did watch the video's and too bad there isn't more options for refreshments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmp03 Posted March 2, 2022 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Is anyone aware of any other companies that rent golf carts? They only have 2 person ones available the day we are there so I dont want to have to pay to rent 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagypsea Posted July 5, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Bonaire is a National Marine Park and very rocky. It's doesn't have "beaches" like the other Caribbean islands. Look them up online and you'll find little strips of sand here and there and lots and lots of rock. The beach at Soboron is probably the largest but you have to walk between the roped off kelp beds to get out to the open water and there you stop or you'll be run over by windsurfers.

breezy1200 Posted October 26, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thanks everyone for the great info. Can anyone provide time estimates for the north loop vs. the south loop in a golf cart? Assuming stopping here and there for photos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith6 Posted November 10, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 10, 2022 We did the south end a couple of years ago its a great time perfect way to see the sites. Without stopping anywhere that trip would be approximately 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hours and the North is slightly longer I believe to be approx 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. These times are without stopping. Naturally you would allow extra time to stop and see the sites. Enjoy we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizkeeper Posted November 15, 2022 #24 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) anyone know the name of the gps map APP for golf cart routes? UPDATE, I think I found it, "download Maps.me (it is an app). I dont know how it works, but it does. You basically download the map of the ABC islands and it works just like a GPS, even without cell service." does this work well?

Rare 1kaper Posted November 28, 2022 #25 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'm just adding here my experience. Don't be late. They do not take a deposit. They say they will hold the golf cart for 2 hours. We ended up getting up late that morning. When we got off the boat we found the stall that had a sign directing us to the next pier. We walked there and found a man sitting in the tent but he was not with the company. He was a very helpful local and knew where the business was. He walked us there. It was a few blocks away. By the time we arrive I could see two golf carts and two groups ahead of us. I suspected our golf cart was gone. We waited in line and by the time we got to the desk it was pretty much 2 hours on the dot. She told us that we did not show so they gave our golf cart away. We debated about whether or not it was 2 hours, and pointed out that we had to find them but it didn't matter anyway. The golf cart was gone. Bonaire is not a great place to show up without having a plan. By this time we couldn't get a taxi. There aren't tour operators hanging around like other ports. We ended up taking the water taxi to Klein Bonaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
