Washington Park Tour with Local Guide.

The best way to experience Washington Slagbaai National Park is with a knowledgeable local guide who can lead you to its most beautiful and hidden spots. Described as both beautiful and unspoiled, this park offers a truly special adventure through secluded beaches, salt lakes, magical watering holes, and scenic coves. Originally inhabited by the Caiquetio Indians, Washington Slagbaai became the first nature sanctuary in the former Netherlands Antilles and was officially established in 1969. Located in the northwest of Bonaire, it spans roughly one-fifth of the island and was once home to Slagbaai, the island’s largest and most productive colonial plantation. Today, the park is a protected haven for native birds and reptiles and includes two internationally recognized Ramsar wetlands. Its pristine beaches serve as vital nesting grounds for sea turtles and a variety of bird species. With a flexible itinerary, this guided tour allows you to explore and photograph the unique flora and fauna of Bonaire in their natural habitat while enjoying the adventure of navigating the park’s off-road trails and rugged dirt roads.
