Bonaire
Sports & Activities
Eco-touring
Drive or hike through the varied terrain of the island's 13,500 acre Washington Slagbaai National Park, a wildlife sanctuary where birds, lizards, goats and iguanas are found in their natural habitat.
Diving / Snorkeling
Bonaire's pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the Caribbean. Divers and snorkelers can access the reefs easily, to snorkel or dive at any of the Marine Park's 80 sites. Bonaire's waters are exceptionally clear of silt, calm, and drivable year round, with visibility often averaging over 100 feet (30m), and frequently, up to 150 feet (55m).
Mountain Biking
Aside from being the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation, biking is an ideal way to see the island' s natural beauties. There are over 300 kilometers of trails, consisting of smooth coastal drives, unpaved back roads, and even goat paths, allowing you to explore all of Bonaire's amazing natural resources.
Windsurfing
Consistent conditions make the shallow, calm waters of Lac Bay the epicenter of Bonaire's internationally-known windsurfing. On the island's leeward side, the calm offshore wind provides just the right sort of air to explore Klein Bonaire. Winds blow December through August at 15 - 25 knots, September through November at 12 - 18 knots.
Sea Kayaking
Paddle the protected waters of Lac Bay, or head for the miles of flats and mangroves in the South (the island's nursery) where baby fish and wildlife can be viewed.
Birdwatching
Bonaire is home to over 170 species of birds, 80 of which are indigenous to the Island. Spotting each species depends to some extent on migration patterns and the weather (in the dry season, for example, normally shy birds approach towns in search of water)
Fishing
Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado, Blue Marlin, Amber Jack, Grouper, Sailfish and Snapper can be found off the coast of Bonaire. This abundance and variety of sport fish make the island home to some of the best deep-sea fishing. Bonaire is also one of the best kept secrets of bone-fishing enthusiasts.
Sailing
Steady wind and calm seas make Bonaire ideal for sailing and yachting so try a day out on the water on one of Bonaire's charter yachts. Enjoy the luxurious combination of gliding swiftly and silently over the water while Bonaire's professional crews take care of your every wish from serving up delicious tropical drinks to identifying colorful fish, sea birds, or coral species on Bonaire's pristine coral reefs. Chase the elusive the "green flash" on a sunset sail, or visit the deserted offshore island of Klein Bonaire for some spectacular snorkeling. If getting wet is not your thing, take a glass bottom boat trip and view the incredible underwater world from topside.
Horseback Riding
Spend part or all of the day at one of Bonaire's fine horse ranches, or "kunukus," where group tours, private lessons and trail rides are available. Some of the kunukus offer accommodations and meals, and they are wonderful places to meet locals or just let the time pass by.
