Destinations
Bonaire
The island of Bonaire, located in the beautiful southern Caribbean, is part of the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles along with Aruba and Curaçao. It is known worldwide as a top destination for its sustainable tourism and diving. The island boasts mild weather, a fascinating Dutch colonial history and West Indian heritage, as well as excellent diving and snorkelling in crystal clear waters. It is known for its natural beauty with a collection of pristine beaches lapped by calm, turquoise waters and surrounded by swaying palms. Visitors can explore the beautiful offshore reefs, enjoy horse riding along the white sandy beaches and spot a variety of native and imported flora species. Other popular activities include: kitesurfing, windsurfing and snorkelling.
Kralendijk
Kralendijk is Bonaire's capital and main port, beautifully decorated with attractive multi-coloured buildings and fringed by snow-white beaches. Stroll the main streets and go shopping, dine at the excellent restaurants, visit the Terramar and Bonaire Museums and, in summer, browse for unique souvenirs at the market in Plaza Wilhelmina while admiring the low-rise Caribbean architecture. Watch cruise ships dock and set sail in the harbour while unwinding with refreshments on the quaint promenade full of charming restaurants and cafés. For a more adventurous stay, explore the small, uninhabited island of Klein Bonaire, located off the coast of Kralendijk, known for its diving and snorkelling opportunities. The small beaches are the nesting grounds of Hawksbill, Loggerhead, Green and Leatherback turtles.
