For numerous years, Bonaire has led the Caribbean in conserving its marine resources. Since 1979, all the waters off the island’s coast have been declared a marine park, which has led us to the enviable position of being ranked as one of the finest scuba diving and snorkeling destinations in the world.
Visitors to Bonaire will soon find that not all the activities are confined to just under or in the sea. We have many more water-related activities that are being discovered by today’s active travelers. As a windsurfing location, the island is well known for our steady tradewinds and protected areas with onshore winds. Our other water sports include kayaking, kiteboarding, sailing, and fishing.
