Watersport on Bonaire
Bonaire is famous for its watersport activities.
Being rated as worldclass shorediving diving destination, we are very proud of our precious marine park.
When you are not a diver, don't worry as there are also plenty of snorkling spots available, some of them even directly in front of your villa.
Are you more of a fisherman yourself? Then take a trip with Fishing Adventures Bonaire or Bonaire Big Game Fishing and catch your own meal for the BBQ.
Not a sailer, but love to enjoy a beautiful boattrip on the water, then we recomment to enjoy the tours offered by Epic Tours and Melissa Sailing Trips.
