Do & See

Thanks to its extensive marine park, sanctuaries, and distinctive ecosystem, Bonaire offers whole new perspectives on the natural world. And from sports to cuisine to architecture, be sure to also explore man's take on this extraordinary world.

Salt Pyramids

The salt pans on the southern part of the island are among Bonaire's most curious attractions. The 15-metre-high pyramids contain 10,000 tons of salt, which is extracted through solar dehydration from the surrounding ponds. The landscape is also dotted with slave huts: the small, 150 cm tall structures are mere reminders of a dark …

Scuba Diving

The sea surrounding Bonaire is entirely part of the Bonaire National Marine Park, whose reefs and mangroves are home to the best preserved and the most diverse marine life in the Caribbean. There are nearly 90 dive sites in Bonaire, the most well-known ones being the 1000 Steps Beach, the popular wreck of Hilma Hooker, …

Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary

Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary

Bonairean landscapes are brimming with vibrant flamingos, the island being one of the world's only four breeding grounds for the pink-hued birds — who get their iconic colour from the brine shrimp in the water. Bonaire's go-to place for birdwatching is Pekelmeer Lake, which is located near the salt pans. It's worth hiring a …

Rincón

Founded in the 16th century by the Spanish, Rincón is the oldest settlement not only of Bonaire but the entire Dutch Caribbean. Its location, in the valley, once provided shelter from pirates.

Sorobon Beach

Sorobon Beach, in the southern part of Lac Bay, is a great place to try water sports — especially windsurfing — or to improve your skills against the steady wind. And if it's relaxing you're after, there are plenty of shady spots and bars to just soak up the unspoiled …

Kayaking in Mangrove Tunnels

The island of Bonaire is blessed on all sides with the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea, making it ideal for a range of water sports. If you want to try kayaking, few places offer a better backdrop than the mangrove forest of Lac Bay, which — like 60% of the island's territory — …

Terramar Museum

A small but informative museum where you can learn a lot about the history of Bonaire and the Caribbean. Exploring the artefacts and paintings on display make for an interesting cultural tour, through which you can learn about indigenous peoples, colonisation, and other historical events that took place in the region. The museum has …

Donkey Sanctuary

Donkey Sanctuary

With hundreds of rescued animals, the sanctuary has been home to the island's donkeys since 1993, often saving their lives by adopting them straight from the street. Make friends with some long-eared residents, even from the comfort of your own car — you can even buy grass pallets to feed them — then round …

Land Sailing

Thanks to steady wind conditions, the east coast of Bonaire is ideal for land sailing (or blokarting) almost all year round. The sport has origins going back to the ancient Egyptians, and it makes for a fun and eco-friendly activity that anyone can try after a short training session. Weather is usually not an …
