The Cadushy Distillery

The Cadushy Distillery is a fun and educational activity on Bonaire where you can see how the island’s famous cactus liqueur is made. This liqueur is called Cadushy and is produced from the kadushi cactus, a plant that is common on Bonaire. The distillery is located in Rincon, the oldest village on the island, which also gives the visit a cultural touch. A tour is completely free and gives you a good idea of the traditional production process.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed warmly and offered a glass of Cadushy liqueur to taste. During the tour, they explain how the cactus is harvested, processed, and ultimately transformed into liqueur. You will not only learn about how the drink is made, but also about its history and importance to the local culture.

Afterwards, there is often time to ask questions or taste more, and you can of course buy a bottle as a souvenir. It is an accessible activity, ideal if you want to experience something typical of Bonaire without spending a lot of time or money.
