You'll stop to take photos by these iconic 19th-century huts and then head to the salt flats, and Bonaire's solar salt facility Cargill, which produces over 400,000 tons of industrial-grade salt annually. Here, you'll get a chance to take more stunning photos of the bright pink salt ponds.

Continue your island sightseeing and cultural tour with a 45-minute scenic drive that takes you past downtown Kralendijk and the Karpata Plantation, a historic 19th-century plantation named after Karpata trees used to produce castor oil.
