Travel to Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba
Because Bonaire is a barren island, you can explore its desert scenery and visit protected wildlife areas to see iguanas and pink flamingos in the Flamingo Sanctuary – one of the biggest flamingo breeding grounds – visited by vast flocks of pink each year. Mountain bike, trek or join a nature trip for bird watching through Washington Slagbaai Park. The kayak and snorkeling tours of the local mangroves are especially riveting. In addition, there is a seemingly unending supply of powdery beaches to saunter down. Don’t miss the immense salt flats and surprisingly large salt piles, which look like tremendous piles of snow, far from home.
Diving in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba
Famed as one of the best Caribbean dive destinations, Bonaire hosts amazing coral reefs and long forgotten shipwrecks. As the island’s dive sites are protected from any currents, this is one of the top places in the earth to gain a new certification. Visitors to Bonaire can pick between boat and shore diving. Most resorts have stunning reefs just offshore, but those visiting the more reaches of Bonaire National Marine Park will crave to book a few dives from the region’s dive boats. In addition, underwater photography is a favorite activity because of Bonaire’s extremely clear water and pure ecosystem. The majority of the diving around Bonaire takes place on its western shores. Advanced divers may wish to explore the dive sites off the north and south points.
