            There are numerous companies that offer guided sight seeing tours of the island by means car, van, truck or boat.  For more information, visit Exploring the Island.

            The main options for private transportation on Bonaire include car rentals and motorbike/moped rentals.

            Car rentals are a great way to travel around Bonaire, but there are certain rules that apply.  The driver must have a valid license from Europe, the US or Canada, and they must be 21 years of age.  Driving is done on the right hand side of the road.  The same rules apply to renting a motor bike.  Check out the many Rental Agencies on the island for more information.
