Creator's Key Takeaways

Shore excursions are big money maker for the cruise lines that visit every port.

But sometimes you can find a better experience by going out on your own.

Actually having the freedom to drive around the entire island in a golf cart, not have to follow anybody's routine or pathway or possibly boring tour was very, very relaxing and quite fun.

So, just having that freedom was amazing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Rent a golf cart for $100 a day to explore Bonaire independently.
Plan your time to avoid anxiety about missing the ship.
Avoid American Express for payments at the golf cart rental.
