Farid is amazing ! Best tour we have ever taken, he listened to those on his tour and customized the tour to fit everyone’s needs and wants. The tour lasted double the time it was intended at the same rate he quoted. We were in Bonaire the entire day so it was perfect to have such a long personalized tour. Farid told us all about the island and highlights he cracked jokes and had fun. Kids on the tour he rewarded with such sincerity for their very good behavior during the entire tour. I believe we had 27 total on this tour - it was amazing 2/20/2024. Highly recommended - we will tour with Farid if we make it back to Bonaire in the future.

We grabbed this tour spontaneously when we got off the cruise ship. Farid was fun and knowledgeable about his beloved island. His rates were very reasonable and he was very straightforward about getting us back in plenty of time to get back on the ship. Excellent value and a good time making great memories.

We joined Farid's tour at our cruise port call in Bonaire. We were first attracted to his tour because his price was very reasonable as he offered a longer and a full island tour for the same price as his competitors who would only cover the North OR South part of the island. But once we started his tour, we realized that he wasn't just a tour guide who wants to make a quick buck off tourists. He actually wanted his customers to enjoy the island and learn about the local culture. He never rushed us at each attraction, he let us take as long as we wanted to witness and soak in the beauty of Bonaire (the tour took longer than the 3 hours and he even took us to see the lighthouse that wasn't in the itinerary but because someone requested it). And he provided us with refreshments at the local convenience store! He was also very knowledgeable about the island and he provided great insights into the history and culture of its people. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour (and his singing!) and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is visiting Bonaire!

While on a cruise we went on a tour with Farid, co-owner of Sunrise Tours. This tour was not associated with the cruise ship. We met Farid at a booth, a short walk from where the ship was docked.
This was, by far, the best tour we have ever been on. With this being our first visit to Bonaire, it was fabulous learning from Farid, who has lived on the island for 35 yrs. He drove us to places the other tours didn’t go by, and his explanation of things during the tour was fabulous. Farid even took us out for lunch while on the tour so we could experience local cuisine.
His personal touch during the tour was very appreciated, as was the knowledge he has of the island!
The price we paid for the tour was a real deal, and we are so glad we did not book through the ship.
If you are in Bonaire and are interested in the best tour for your money, remember Farid, from Sunrise Tours. You will be completely satisfied! We feel like we met a friend who was more than eager to show us a great time!

The Sunrise Tour was a fantastic way to see the sights of Bonaire. We were in a group of 10 and planned on a 3 hour tour of the northern loop (coastline, 1000 steps, Flamingos) and a part of the southern loop (salt fields and slave huts). Farid was an excellent guide as he provided a good history of the island, good information on the sites we were seeing, and an excellent amount of local information and perspective of how Bonaire has developed over time. He was funny and engaging and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. He is quite a character and had us laughing for a majority of the tour. He added in a trip to Lac Bay for us to stop at a beach-side bar and play on the beach for a little while. The 3 hour tour lasted 4.5 hours and we enjoyed every minute of it. We even stopped at a local restaurant in the northern loop to enjoy some local sangria. Sunrise Tours went the extra mile and provided an excellent tour for a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend for those looking for a driving tour of the island and enjoy the local flavor and perspective.

We ended up booking at the pier instead of booking a ship tour.

Farid from Sunrise Tours was among a number of other tour operators just outside the port. He was friendly and outgoing. He stands out with his checkerboard shirt.

We took the combined North & South Tour which took about 4 hours. It includes a stop at a local roadside store for a free drink and snack.

Bus air conditioning was struggling to keep up with the hot September temperatures. There was very little leg room and the seats were very close together. There were 22 people on the tour.

Overall we found the tour to be informative and we hit all the major tourist locations including the Flamingos, and salt plant. We found it weird that Farid would talk about his gambling trip to the US instead about talking more about the island. Maybe he was trying to connect with the US tourists.

The tour included a 15 minute stop at a beach. He offered to let people stay and he would return later in the day to pick them up. Most of the group opted to go back to the ship.

It was a good value for the price.

We had the distinct pleasure of touring for several hours with Farid, co-owner of Sunrise Tours Bonaire, the first week of January, 2020, when our cruise ship was docked in Kralendijk. His infectious good humor and positivity were apparent throughout his retelling of local lore. We also appreciated his encyclopedic knowledge of Bonaire history. Enhance your visit by booking a tour with Farid!

So much fun! Wife and I were almost ready to just stay on the ship. So glad we didn't. Ended up being the last two to sign us for tour. I set up front with owner, driver and acted as copilot. Farid, owner and driver, took us all over the island. Not only kept us laughing but filled us in about the different highlights of the island. We made several stops that the cruise ship exursion bus in front of us skipped (this cost less than half of the ship's tour). Tour also included a stop with one soda, water, or beer at a local store.

On the way back to the ship Farid not only told us more stories but sang to and with us (turned out he has a great voice).

Highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed.

We had a wonderful 4 hours with our driver/guide Farid, he showed us all that Bonaire has to offer. He is informative, lots of fun and very talented. He sang, played music and kept everyone very happy. Of the 3 ABC Islands we enjoyed our visit to Bonaire the most mainly due to our fantastic guide. The swimming great and lots of different colours and variety of fish to see just swimming with goggles clise to shore.
