Steer a Blokart Across Bonaire's Windiest Flats

You'll get a 10-minute lesson, then 45 minutes sailing a three-wheel blokart on Bonaire's windiest flats, with the speed entirely in your control. Safety gear, water bottle, and instructions are included. The track is 15 minutes from town, and the full experience takes about two hours door-to-door.

The Experience

You're steering into the wind on three wheels, the sail catching the trade breeze that sweeps across Bonaire's wild side. The track sits about 15 minutes from Kralendijk, on the island's exposed eastern shore where the conditions are exactly what landsailing needs. The blokart responds to your weight and your grip on the tiller — lean, and it leans with you. No sailing background required. The 10-minute lesson covers the basics: how to angle the sail, how to brake, how to feel the wind shift beneath you. After that, you're loose on the track for about 45 minutes, and the speed is entirely yours. Want to cruise and soak in the view? The blokart lets you do that. Want to push it and find out what the sail can do? It'll do that too.

The track is built for everyone. Children from age 8 can sail solo, depending on wind. Younger kids (ages 3–8) ride in a shadow blokart — a double rig where they sit alongside an adult and feel the motion without handling the controls. The operator recently had a 91-year-old out there, so the age range is real. You'll wear a helmet, gloves, and glasses if you need them. The sails are sized to match the wind, your weight, and how much you've done this before. It's not a guessing game; the crew adjusts the setup so you're not fighting the equipment.

After you come back to the pit stop, there's a debrief — a casual rundown of who was fastest and what you felt out there. Cold water comes in your own eco-friendly bottle, included in the price, and there are souvenirs if you want to take something home. The whole thing, including the drive from Kralendijk, runs about two hours. If you don't have a car or don't want to drive, you can add a transfer when you book.

What’s included

Your landsailing experience includes a 10-minute safety and technique lesson, a fitted blokart with sail sized to the wind and your weight, helmet and gloves, protective glasses if needed, about 45 minutes of sailing time on the track, cold water in an eco-friendly bottle you take home, and a debrief back at the reception area. If you need transport from Kralendijk, that can be added when you book.
