Build Your Own Tour Page for Your Bonaire Island Tour or Taxi Business, in One Hour
2026-10-19
Cruise passengers often plan their day in port before the ship docks. If they search for a tour, they need to find you, and your page needs to answer their questions in seconds. You don't need a big website for that. One clear page with your tours, prices, pickup point and a WhatsApp button is enough. This guide shows you what to put on that page and how to build it on your phone, even if you have never built anything online.
Why one simple page works for cruise passengers
Cruise visitors don't have much time, and they worry about getting back to the ship on time. They also know that transport at the pier can be hard to find. Bonaire.com warns visitors that there are very limited taxis available at the cruise port, and that most cruise passengers therefore choose organized excursions or rent a car to explore the island. A passenger who has already found your page and booked you on WhatsApp doesn't have to wait in line. That is why your page should answer three questions fast: What will I see? How long does it take? Where do we meet?
What to put on your tour page
1. Your name and a short welcome
One or two sentences: who you are, that you are local, which languages you speak, and how many people fit in your vehicle. Add a photo of yourself next to your car or van. People like to know who will pick them up.
2. Your tours, one block each
For each tour, write the name, what guests will see, how long it takes, and the price per person. Use your own real prices. Some ideas based on what Bonaire offers:
- Washington Slagbaai National Park. A rugged nature reserve of 4,286 hectares in the north of the island. Be honest about the time it takes. One cruise guide says the park is only recommended for passengers with an 8-hour or longer port call, and that you must bring all your own food and water, as there are no concessions inside. Put that on your page.
- South tour: salt pans and flamingos. Cargill operates the salt pans and you can see the entire process during your visit to the south coast. Don't promise guests they can walk into the flamingo reserve. At Pekelmeer, tourists are not allowed in, and the birds are watched from the public road.
- Donkey Sanctuary. Tell guests what they will see there. Bonaire.com explains that besides donkeys, the sanctuary also cares for iguanas and turtles that were found injured.
Also write what is not included, such as entrance fees. For example, Bonaire.com says that to visit the national park you need the Nature Fee of $40 plus access to the national park. Fees can change, so check the current amount before you put it on your page.
3. Pickup points at the cruise terminal
This part matters most. Bonaire offers 2 large docks for cruise ships, and ships use either the North Pier or the South Pier. One port guide says passengers assigned to the North Pier exit directly onto the pedestrian street fronting Wilhelmina Park. Describe your meeting spot in simple words for each pier, add a photo of it, and say what you will be holding (a sign with the guest's name, for example) and what color your vehicle is.
4. A "back to the ship" promise you can keep
Write when you will have guests back at the pier, for example "at least one hour before all-aboard time." Only write what you really do.
5. A WhatsApp button
This is how people book. A WhatsApp link looks like this: https://wa.me/ followed by your full phone number with the country code and no plus sign, spaces or dashes. You can add a ready-made message so guests only have to press send, like: "Hi, I'd like to book the South tour on [date], ship: [name], number of people: [ ]". Asking for the ship name and date up front saves you a lot of back and forth.
How to build it step by step with an AI teacher
You can build this page yourself by having a conversation in plain words. Here is how a session usually goes:
- Explain your business. Type it the way you would tell a friend: "I drive island tours in Bonaire for cruise passengers. I have three tours."
- Paste your photos. Your car, the salt pans, flamingos, your pickup spot. You can also paste a screenshot of an old price list.
- Add your tours one at a time. Give the name, duration and price. The AI teacher helps you turn them into short, clear blocks.
- Add the pickup section and the WhatsApp button with your own number.
- Check it on your phone. Ask for changes in normal words: "make the price bigger" or "put the WhatsApp button at the top too."
- Get your link. Ask the teacher to walk you through putting the page online, so you end up with a link you can share.
At ai-bonaire.com you get one hour with an AI teacher (Claude) for $40. You build your own project step by step, in your own language. It works on your phone, tablet or computer. You pay once, there is no subscription, and your time only counts while you are working. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can do this.
Where to share your link
- Your WhatsApp status and your WhatsApp Business profile.
- Your Facebook page and cruise groups where passengers ask for tips before their trip.
- Hotels, apartments and guesthouses. Ask if they will give the link to guests who want a tour.
- A small card with a QR code in your vehicle, so happy guests can pass it on.
Quick checklist before you share
- Is every price correct and per person?
- Is the duration of each tour clear?
- Can a stranger find your pickup spot at both piers?
- Does the WhatsApp button open a chat with your number?
- Are entrance fees and what's included clear?
Even if you build the page some other way, follow this structure: tours, duration, price, pickup point, WhatsApp. Want help building it in an hour? Start your session here.
