Sights & Excursions

Bonaire is a small island with no public transport. For activities outside the resort, it is necessary to hire a car – they are available through reception at daily and discounted weekly rates.

Diving
The main attractions lie under water: spectacular coral reefs and colourful tropical fish. That’s why Bonaire has been voted one of the world’s top three diving areas. Numerous establishments provide all the necessary facilities on and off shore.

Touring - The Northern Route
This route takes in a rocky coastline, battered by a wild sea, and rugged hilly countryside, giant cacti and millions of lizards. The Washington/Slagbaai National Park covers 13,500 acres, full of wonderful plants, over 150 species of beautiful birds and exotic animals. Goto Lake is a magnificent landlocked salt water lake, favoured by flamingos. Rincon, the oldest settlement on the island dates back to 16C.

Touring - The Southern Route
This route reveals scenery contrasting with the north. A flat landscape with Lake Pekel Meer and extensive salt flats surround a huge ‘off-limits’ flamingo sanctuary. Colour contrasts are spectacular – turquoise sea, pink salt pans, snow-white hills of sparkling salt and clear blue skies. Tiny stone huts served as shelters for slaves who used to work in the salt pans.

Kralendijk
The island’s small capital, Kralendijk with its quaint architecture shows a strong Dutch-colonial influence and there’s a pleasant waterfront with restaurants and bars, a boating marina and a fish market.

Nude Cruise
A three hour afternoon cruise to neighbouring islets. The Captain’s wife is highly knowledgeable about the reef-life. Drinks, snacks and free use of snorkelling equipment is provided.
