    Coming to Bonaire we always rent at smiley rentals knowing that good scooters will be delivered (on time) at our doorstep. Thanks Raquel & Johnny for an excellent experience again. Both the scooters and customer service were outstanding during our stay from Jan 21-Jan 29. You are real ambassadors for Bonaire. Corné, Paula and Bas

    Friendly service, reliable scooters and most importantly, easy transactions from rent to return. Also, they offer pickup and drop-off at the beginning and the end of your vacation.

    Amazing service and super friendly staff! When I had to return my scooter one day earlier due to sickness the company even proactively offered me to refund the rental cost.

    WOW!! We cannot say enough great things about the folks at 4Wheel Diving!! After 20 years of marriage to my diver husband and as someone who thought I could never learn to scuba dive in a million years, they not only got me PADI certified but we did another 18 dives over the next 2 weeks!! Yago was my instructor and my hero! He encouraged me every step of the way and helped me accomplish a lifelong goal at age 62! Not only did he turn me into a diver, by the end of the trip we were already scheduling our next trip! After receiving my certification we spent the next two weeks diving with Jack! He is an incredible guide and showed us things we never would have seen on our own. Jack’s knowledge and love of the ocean made our trip so much more enjoyable than it would have been if we had been diving by ourselves. Our last dive was a boat dive with Vanessa and Ron to Klein Bonaire and was the perfect way to end our vacation. We felt like VIP’s every day and truly appreciate the professionalism and attitude of every single member of the crew. Rubin greeted us every morning with his giant smile and it always started our day off in the best possible way. Thank you 4 Wheel Diving from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable experience!! We will be back again and again and again!!

    Absolutely fantastic experience! Elona was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. The whole snorkeling event was excellent and the sea scooter was great! Highly recommend this place!

    Small family-run dive shop that offers absolutely top-flight service. While they can certainly take care of your needs regardless of skill level or interest (whether you are a casual diver, snorkeler, etc.), a lot of the more serious divers on Bonaire seem to gravitate to Xpro and remain loyal customers.

    There are plenty of dive outfits on Bonaire, many of them good (and a few not so great), and many of them bigger and flashier. But if you need your equipment serviced, or want honest, expert advice from a guy who has been building and repairing dive equipment for 20 years, do yourself a favor — go here and tak to Hens.

    They also sell Hollis gear. I just bought a Hollis backplate BCD from Xpro and am a complete convert.

    We hired Maria to help us navigate the more southern dives on Bonaire. She was absolutely stellar. From the beginning, she communicated well via email. We were very comfortable with the planning. On the first day, we met her exactly as planned. Our dives were amazing - saw how to enter (at sites we would not have attempted on our own) and she was able to point out many things we would have missed (a highlight was the three-stage cleaning station!). In the water, there was steady, regular communication - which we appreciated. She also continued to point out cool things we would have otherwise missed. Between dives, we enjoyed apples and raisin cookies and lots of water. Our second dive that day was just as wonderful. At the end of the day, we planned for day two. On day two, we really appreciated her guidance at another site we were unfamiliar with, and her support when I nixed the second dive site and she immediately came up with several other options to choose from. Her knowledge of the sites on Bonaire is wonderful, she made us very comfortable, and we completely enjoyed our time with her. Yes, diving privately is more expensive than group or boat diving, but we feel that we have definitely benefitted from her expertise and the 2:1 ratio that allowed us to meet all our diving "want tos" for our four dives - well worth it! Unfortunately, my husband's tablet was damaged this trip, so we couldn't upload our amazing photos (turtles, blue parrotfish, spotted eagle rays, juveniles, cubera snapper, squid and more). I'll try to add them in May when we get home.

    The owners are so friendly. The boat is amazing! They give you a cooler full of ice to put drinks and snacks for the day. We went snorkeling in 4 different places. This is the place to rent your boat!

    Great way to discover Bonaire from the water without destroying earth!! 🌿

    Cool to see the villa’s in the harbour section and fun to bike board at the ocean! A nice to do for every age, good family activity, and the guide tells some interesting facts about the island.

    Definitely would book again! The bikes are not too hard to master (whereas I always fail with a sup board, I felt a pro here!)

    Lastly, there was even time to relax and snorkel to watch the marine life of Bonaire.

    100% recommend!

    Sailing the waters around the beautiful island of Bonaire is another way of enjoying what this unique part of the world has to offer.
    The island exerts an irresistible attraction to all watersport enthusiasts due to its ever present cool winds and its clear warm blue waters.
    Eco sailing in Bonaire's waters is an unforgettable experience, not only because of its natural beauty and superb sailing conditions but also because of the real chance to encounter dolphins and other marine mammals.
    The wonderful climate with its temperature usually around 30° C, the beautiful azure blue sea, with an average temperature of 27 ° C and the almost constant northeastern trade winds, make perfect sailing conditions for everyone.
    All year round, we offer you the possibility to rent a sailboat so you can enjoy the waters around Bonaire. All that is needed is some sailing experience.
    If you have no sailing experience though, you can still enjoy being on the water. We have several instructors who will welcome you aboard one of our boats. Several packages are available.
    Sailboats can be rented for just a morning of afternoon as well as for an entire day. Please feel free to contact us for your Bonaire sailing experience.

    It was one of our best Scooter experience we have ever had. First of all the scooters are quite new and well motorized. The service was perfect. They picked us up from our hotel and erverything was fast and uncomplicated. I had a flat tire because of a pothole on the street and It took just 5 minutes that someone came to change the weel. Thanks a lot.

    We rented 3 scooters from here on our cruise stop in Bonaire. It didn't start out great as it was much more than a 10 minute walk from the port like we were told. No matter which way you take. When we got there it was a very small and somewhat unkept little shop. The scooters we were given were very old one one had a starter problem. We had virtually no confidence as we took off on the scooters for the day. However, the scenery was beautiful and the scooters held up for the whole trip around the northern part of the island. They were friendly and I did believe it when they said they would pick us up quickly if one broke down. But we never had to call them.
    It turned out to be our favourite excursion of the trip. Lots of fun.
    I give it a 3 out of 5 because they exceeded my expectations after a rough start.

    We had an amazing time when in Bonaire and would highly recommend using Bonaire off-road Cruisers. We did the guided off-road trip and were lucky to have Steve as our guide. We were able to see the entire Island, places we would probably never see on a normal excursion, all while enjoying the excitement, speed and a little dust that comes with an off-road adventure. We stopped at two beach sites; one a nice beach bar and the other a snorkel stop for lunch. Lunch was included and the sandwiches were great. Steve shared his knowledge of Island history and it was fun to talk to him about his life adventures. We would highly recommend this excursion and note to self, do not wear anything white!

    I wanted to rent a Harley to take her out for a ride by myself, because I've been on this island before (so I know my way around).
    Unfortunately I was not able to make a reservation ahead of arrival: neither via e-mail nor phone-call.
    So I had to drop-by, when arrived on this island by cruise-ship. Well: it's not far from the quay; but all the Harley's were gone for a tour, when I arrived (except for a Sportster (which I refused to rent out, because it's too small for a big guy like me)).

    But I was lucky!!
    They had a Can Am in the garage: a bit dusty, but good for riding on the bad roads of Bonaire, because it's a three-wheeler.

    It's $ 88 for a 4 hour rental: and I had a truckload of fun, riding by myself on the island.
    I've been given a map: so it's easy to circle around the whole island (clockwise: because there is a one-way-road) within these 4 hours.

    I could highly recommend this company!!
    Hopefully you might be luckier making a reservation ahead; because otherwise every ride might have gone...
