ilandgrl Posted December 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I have heard many good things about it. Word of advice- book early! I just tried to reserve yesterday for mid February and the tour is already full :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reenwad Posted February 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I just got back from Bonaire and we had a group of 10 do the Twizzy Tour. All 10 of us LOVED it! And nowhere else in the Caribbean can you do this! They are small, two-seater, electric cars. They go up to 60 mph and are SO FUN to drive!!! We paid $55 per person and all think this tour was the best money spent throughout the cruise! Hans, the owner/operator, was an awesome tour guide. Very informative! He's straight from Germany, so his English isn't perfect, but he's totally understandable. We had plenty of stops for pictures, we stopped at a local distillery for some cactus liquor tasting, we stopped at the flamingo sanctuary in the National Park, and we stopped at the Eden/Spice Beach Club at the end for some AWESOME snorkeling and swimming. Delicious food and a full bar were available for lunch too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this picture on his facebook page and was hoping someone who had been on would come and comment here. Glad to hear it was fun and worth the money. For what he described and the length of time compared to ship excursions it does seem like you get more for your money- and a small group! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so can the person in back see very much? I didn't find any helpful pictures on the website. Thanks, Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reenwad Posted February 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Yes, the seats are one in front of the other. Tall people are OK. Overweight may be a problem, depending on HOW overweight. You can see in the photo we're all pretty much "overweight" but we all did fine in the Twizzy's. Here is a photo of my husband in the back seat. He's about 5' 10" and 200 lbs: And my brother and his wife. She is about 5' 10" as well: Back seat can also see well, and gets a much better breeze! Front has less breeze blowing and gets a little warmer. Edited February 13, 2015 by Reenwad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reenwad Posted February 13, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Doesn't look like the pictures are coming up. If you go to his Facebook page, scroll down to the reviews, and see my review. I added the pics there. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roadrunner-Bonaire/184113931763369 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftymarie Posted February 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2015 this tour sounds cool. website states that you need a valid licence, would an international licence do as I have an Irish licence. also if you book do you pay in advance or on the day. thanks Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, We are on the Journeys cruise on Glory and there are so many ports, trying to pick the best excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were able to book the 4-5 hour tour for $110 per couple they have advertised on their website? We have emailed them twice but they said they do not offer the 4-5 hour tour to cruise ship passengers unless it is within a month or two of sailing. They are only offering an 8 hour combo van/Twizy tour for $90pp that is not even listed on their website. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent an e-mail just now and will let you know what I get as a response. As of now we are the only ship in port that day so I hope we can reserve one of the 10 cars.

We have sent them several emails over the last month or so but they keep telling us they are only offering the 8 hour tour for cruise ship passengers & I don't think we are interested in that. I think there are 8 of us in our group interested in the 4-5 hour tour if they offer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are 8 of us in our group interested in the 4-5 hour tour if they offer it. Well, even though we are in port long enough for the 8-hour tour, that's more time than I want to spend on just that. Maybe if he sees the response to the shorter tour he will offer that to Glory pax. Here's hoping!:D Are you on the CC roll call or the other one? I usually do CC, but so far I've just lurked. I joined the other one and though it is not real active(yet) there are about 76 members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachLoverstoo Posted March 14, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Cool Breeze Cruiser, Got an e-mail from Hans and he only mentioned the longer tour. :mad: I think he should take down the shorter one if he isn't offering it. I wrote back that we weren't interested in snorkeling or a long stay at the beach and that we wanted the four hour trip that toured the island. If it was offered, I said, we'd consider it. Now I'm looking at bonaire vista tours dot com. No cute little cars, but it's a three-hour tour for $35 per person. I think it's limited to 15 pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you've been in one of the vehicles, in your opinion do you think someone who is overweight (approximately 240 lb man) will be able to do this tour? Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp being concerned with getting back to ship ontime etc. I booked back in December for my April cruise -I will have to confirm to make sure that did not change from what he sent back.

I mentioned that my husband would be the driver and I would be the second adult.( Our ship is in port from 8 am until 11 pm.). he emailed back that he had reserved our spot and we should email him back in December for specific details about time, ect. Now I am a little worried after hearing what your email said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkjmt Posted July 22, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm emailing him and he answers quickly but with his broken English it's tough to know what you'll actually be doing on which tour. I want to do salt mines, slave huts, flamingos, shopping, beach and Twizy. I think I'd need to do the van and Twizy Tour to get to everything.

Also is there a lot of walking on this tour? What kind of shoes are best? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am second guessing whether they wait to see if they have spots available. I am thinking of booking something else. I do not want to be scrambling to find something at the last minute.
