Bonaire

Bonaire is part of the Dutch Caribbean, situated just North of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea. It is a beautiful island where nature is still unspoiled. A relaxed, laid back atmosphere complements the Bonairean lifestyle, which is full of culinary, musical and cultural surprises. The Caribbean climate is very pleasant with a year-round temperature of around 28°C/85°F. Bonaire is famous for its scuba diving, snorkeling and many other (water)sports, but many other activities are offered on the island. The constant easterly trade winds make Bonaire a true sailing- and windsurfing paradise! Many restaurants and bars provide a cosy nightlife that mainly takes place outside, under the stars. Bonaire plays a leading role in nature protection - both above and under water and it has been used as an example many times for other islands and countries.

The name "Bonaire" is thought to be derived from an Indian word meaning "low country" and indeed both the main island of Bonaire and the small, uninhabited satellite island of Klein (small) Bonaire are startlingly flat. Most of the southern end of the island is less than 2m (6') above sea level. The highest elevation on Bonaire - Brandaris in the Washington Slagbaai National Park - is a mere 238m (785').

Bonaireans are among the friendliest and most linguistically able of all Caribbean islanders, able to switch seamlessly between their native Papiamento and English, Dutch and Spanish.

Did you know that Bonaire is better known as 'Diver's Paradise' and that it has once again received many awards in the Scuba Diving magazine’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2013? The seventeen (!) awards include five # 1 rankings for Best Macro Diving, Best Advanced Diving, Best Beginner Diving, Best Shore Diving (for the 20th consecutive year!)and Best Underwater Photography. The # 2 rankings include Best Overall Diving, Best Value of Diving Dollar and Best Marine Environment.
