Stop

Highlights

Suggested Time

1. Kralendijk (Start Point)

Pick up your Moke near the cruise port and cruise through Kralendijk’s colorful waterfront. Explore local shops, snap photos by Fort Oranje, and grab breakfast or a smoothie before hitting the road (recommended stop: Ocean Oasis in Belnem)

30–45 min

2. Salt Pans & Willemstoren Lighthouse

Drive south on the smooth coastal road to Bonaire’s Salt Flats and Salt Pier, where pink salt pools meet flocks of flamingos. Continue to the historic Willemstoren Lighthouse, the island’s oldest.

45 min

3. Slave Huts at White Pan & Red Pan

Along the same paved road, stop at the White Slave Huts and Red Slave Huts, historic reminders of Bonaire’s past and stunning spots for oceanfront photos.

30 min

4. Sorobon Beach (Lac Bay)

Head east toward Lac Bay, a turquoise lagoon famous for windsurfing and beachside restaurants. Enjoy a refreshing swim or lunch with your toes in the sand at Jibe City or The Hangout Bar, Sebastian's, or Sorobon.

1.5–2 hrs

5. Rincon Village

Continue north on paved inland roads to Rincon, Bonaire’s oldest settlement. Visit the Cadushy Distillery, Mangazina di Rei, or simply stroll through the charming streets. Enjoy amazing local cuisine at Posada Para Mira, with stunning views.

1 hr

6. Goto Lake Viewpoint

From Rincon, take the smooth, paved road to the Goto Lake Lookout - one of the island’s most breathtaking viewpoints, where flamingos often gather against a mountain backdrop.

30–45 min

7. Return to Kralendijk

Loop back south via the main road (using the same road you came from), enjoying coastal views and possible stops for ice cream or local snacks.

30–45 min

This route allows you to circle most of Bonaire comfortably in a day - all on paved, well-maintained roads, ensuring a safe and smooth ride.

Tips for Your Moke Adventure

  1. Book early. Cruise days sell out quickly - reserve your Moke ahead of arrival.

  2. Start right after docking. You’ll maximize your time before needing to return to port.

  3. Bring sun protection. Hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are a must for open-air driving.

  4. Pack swimwear and towels. Many stops, like Sorobon Beach, invite a quick dip.

  5. Keep it light. The Moke is compact - bring only essentials.

  6. Watch your timing. Plan to be back in Kralendijk at least one hour before your cruise departure.
