Here are our favorite activities on Bonaire

Explore Washington Slagbaai National Park

Bonaire's National Park offers a great day out to watch birds such as parrots, flamingos, parakeets, iguanas and other reptile species. The beaches inside the park are an important nesting ground for all four species of sea turtles found in the Caribbean. The last stop Boca Slagbaai offers an excellent snorkling & picnic stop.
Important: you must have a 4WD car to drive around the park

Visit Klein Bonaire

Klein Bonaire is a small uninhabited island just off the coast of Bonaire. You can do some excellent snorkling from the white sandy "No Name" beach into the crystal blue waters. Either take a watertaxi to get there or rent your own little boat and relax at one of the few moorings.

Do some hikes

Explore Bonaire from the many different hiking trails that are set via the pink marks. The south of the island is very flat and the north a little more challenging with a few hills. You will be rewarded with some breathtaking views. Just start on time and bring enough water!

Rent a boat

Nothing more relaxing that renting your own boat with friends, fill up some coolers with drinks & snacks and explore the day at your own pace on the water. There are several boat companies from speed boats to smaller ones, with or without captain (selfdrive conditions may apply)

Visit the Donkey Sanctuary

If you're in for a good laugh as well as support the great work of the volunteers, then pay a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary of Bonaire. They save, treat, feed and protect more than 800 donkeys on their park, where you can freely drive around and enjoy these funny animals when they follow your car.
