Washington Slagbaai National Park Offers Guided Journey Through Bonaire’s Wild Heritage


A guided tour through Washington Slagbaai National Park is showcasing the untouched beauty of northern Bonaire, where rugged landscapes, secluded beaches, and salt lakes create one of the island’s most dramatic natural environments. Led by local experts, the experience highlights both the ecological and historical significance of this protected region.


The park, originally inhabited by the Caiquetio Indians, was later established as the first nature sanctuary in the former Netherlands Antilles in 1969. Covering nearly one-fifth of Bonaire, it also once served as the site of Slagbaai, the island’s largest colonial plantation, adding deep historical layers to its natural appeal.


Today, Washington Slagbaai is recognized as a protected haven for native birds, reptiles, and marine life. It includes two internationally designated Ramsar wetlands and serves as an important nesting ground for sea turtles and numerous bird species, making it a key site for conservation efforts in the Caribbean.


Visitors on the guided tour follow a flexible itinerary that allows for photography and exploration of diverse habitats, from off-road trails to coastal coves. With expert interpretation, guests gain insight into Bonaire’s flora, fauna, and geology while experiencing the raw, unspoiled character of the island’s northern wilderness.

If you love hiking, being out in nature, or bird watching then you must visit Washington-Slagbaai National Park while in Bonaire. You will see more if you do a guided hike than just driving through. I highly recommend doing a guided hike as opposed to exploring on your own. This park is HUGE. There are some great snorkeling spots only accessible through the park. Be sure to check with the park rangers for the current conditions when you enter. This park has beautiful trails, lots of birds (goats and donkeys are still hiding in here), and scenic bays and coastlines. Flamingos too! The terrain is part volcanic, part limestone so wear good shoes and watch out for the cacti growing everywhere. Check out the small museum in the visitor center as well.

The roads are rough but its worth it. A great place to drive around with plenty of hiking options. Be prepared to spend 4 to 5 hours. The roads are slow going and there are a lot of places to stop and get out. Lots of great birds to see and some neat history.
