Along with its neighboring Dutch islands of and , it forms the , though it is much quieter. It is a mostly flat, riverless coral island renowned for diving, windsurfing, and bird watching (particularly flamingos). Lacking many sandy beaches – it instead has lush coral reefs – it is less visited by cruise ships. Bonaire has world-class shore diving, much of it easy, and is thus well-suited for beginners, or for experienced divers who want relaxing independent diving. ## Understand Geographically, Bonaire is part of the , which is comprised of the ABC Islands of , Bonaire, and . These islands in turn are part of the , which also contains numerous islands that are part of Venezuela. Politically however, Bonaire is part of the , with and , and is a "special municipality" fully integrated in the proper but does not have the same laws. Bonaire uses the US dollar as its currency. Climate The climate is tropical marine with little seasonal temperature variation. Temperature is moderated by constant trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean, with averages of 28°C (82°F). Bonaire sits outside the Caribbean hurricane belt. "Rainy" season lasts from the last week of October to the end of January, but it is still relatively dry. During rainy season, late night and early morning rains are common, usually clearing shortly after sunrise. Water temperatures average 26°C (80°F). Terrain The total land area of the island is 285 km². The southern portion of the island is flat with few hills, sparse vegetation and negligible natural resources other than white coral beaches and salt. The northern part of the island is a rugged and arid national park. The southern tip of the island is a series of giant water-filled salt pans for sea salt production and an off-limits flamingo sanctuary.

The 34 km of roads in the park are rough: you will need an offroad vehicle or mountain bike (challenging ride). There are also 3 hikes, ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours; trying to walk the entire park is not recommended, and not very pleasant.There is also swimming, snorkeling, and shore diving; the dive sites are generally quiet, due to remoteness. The park gets hot and dry, so go early, don't go alone, protect yourself from the sun, and bring plenty of water. AddressNear Rincon Directionsa car tour takes about 2 hours PriceAs of 2023, the admission fee is $40, good for one year. However, this "nature fee" covers both the land (terrestrial) park and the marine park, so if you've already paid the diving fee, admission to the park is free; both parks are administered by the same agency, STINAPA. To get this benefit, you must bring both the admission ticket (given to you when you pay the diving fee) and picture id. Since the ticket is good for one year, the park doesn't want you using someone else's ticket (not for resale and non-transferable). This policy is generally enforced, so remember your picture id!

The reef along the western side of the island has been protected for years and is in excellent condition, offering visitors the opportunity to literally wade in from the beach in front of their hotel and experience an amazing underwater world. The eastern side of the island is exposed to the Atlantic Ocean and is significantly rougher, so diving opportunities are limited to guided dives on all but the calmest days. Dive sites are located along the entire western coast, generally marked by a painted yellow rock and/or a mooring in the water. Dive shops are everywhere and will rent gear, and most have drive-thru tank rentals where you can pick up tanks for the day and return used tanks. The reef is fairly shallow, with depths from 10 meters to 40 meters (30 feet - 130 feet). Before diving all divers must review the national marine park rules and pay a $40 per person fee (as of 2023), good for one year. This fee also applies to snorkelers, kite surfers, and anyone that uses the national marine park. The fee can be paid in cash at any dive shop, and you will be issued a dive tag that you must carry with you while diving. It can also be paid online at https://stinapa.bonairenaturefee.org/. Equipment Beyond usual scuba diving gear, the following rules and recommendations apply. Marine park rules include no gloves, no chemical glow sticks, and no spear fishing (except special lionfish courses; see below). On the other hand (or foot, rather), booties are strongly recommended, due to walking on rough terrain during shore entry, and dive knives are allowed. For most people, a 3 mm wetsuit (full) is suitable year-round; a 2 mm wetsuit or shorty is ok for more warm-blooded divers. A dive skin is recommended for snorkelers, and may also be worn under a wetsuit. A waterproof bag or box is useful if shore diving, to keep keys and billfold (and phone, if you want to risk it), as these should not be left in the car. A few cheap zipper plastic bags should be sufficient for keys and money/cards, though not phones. A thin billfold helps to carry cash and cards, though a rubber band or binder clip is fine, and they can also be stored loose. Activities The main attraction is shore diving: rent a truck, fill your tanks, load up your gear, drive to a site, and start diving! Obviously this requires experience and a buddy to be done safely; you can hire a Dive Master to come along if inexperienced or for more challenging dives. There are a number of special activities available, including: Coral Restoration with the [Coral Restoration Foundation Bonaire](http://crfbonaire.org/) (at [Buddy Dive](https://buddydive.com/diving/shore-diving/), [Harbour Village Resort](http://www.harbourvillage.com/coral-preservation-research-bonaire), and [Wannadive](https://wannadive.com/)): [Coral Restoration Adventure Dive](http://crfbonaire.org/product/padi-coral-restoration-adventure-dive/) [PADI Coral Restoration Diver Distinctive Specialty](http://crfbonaire.org/product/padi-coral-restoration-diver-distinctive-specialty/) Lionfish Hunting, which is only allowed with a special gun, under supervision. Lionfish are an invasive species, and it is ecologically responsible to kill them (and tasty to eat them!). Resorts notably include [VIP Diving](https://vipdiving.com/courses/specialty-courses/lionfish-hunting-course/). Stay safe Always dive with a buddy and stay within your ability and training. Do not leave any valuables in your car while diving as break-ins are common. Preferably leave valuables in the hotel safe, especially wallets and phones, and bring a minimum with you: just keys and a bit of cash, and take in a waterproof bag.

It is divided into 100 cents. Read more about money and payments on the [official website of Bonaire](https://bonaire.com/en/blog/money-payments-bonaire-guide/) ## Eat Bonaire has many restaurants and quite varied cuisine given the overall island population. "Aki ta Bende Kuminda Krioyo" will inform a visitor that local-style food is available, generally heavy on soups, stews, fried foods and fish. Traditional foods that may be found on the menu include conch, cacti, wahoo and rock lobster. Much of the fish is caught locally by line fishermen in season. Though traditionally eaten, iguana is not generally served in restaurants. Bonaire has little in fast food, though there is the "smallest KFC franchise outlet in the world" in a shopping plaza by Kralendijk and a Subway sub shop. Check out "Swiss Chalet", a local favorite serving Fondu. Bobbejan's is an extremely popular weekend-only barbeque joint. Other cuisines common on the islands are Argentine, Italian, Indonesian, Suriname, and lots and lots of Chinese. Island-made ice cream is available in many places, with Lovers Ice Cream being a local favorite. Arrive before noon, as they often sell out. Almost all eateries are open for limited hours during the day, and many close briefly during siesta time between 2-3PM. Call or check ahead to determine if a restaurant is open for lunch, dinner, both, or only open on weekends. Some are closed certain days of the week, such as Sunday.

Along the coast you have multiple places that combine a dive school with cabañas where you can sleep for a moderate price. Most of the accommodations on the island are relatively small, averaging 15 rooms or less. Several mid-size apartment complex devoted to tourists exist. These tend to be a bit more upscale than the smaller accommodations. There are several larger, more resort like places as well. These are still somewhat small, with only the Plaza Resort Bonaire and Captain Don's Habitat having over 100 rooms. Due to flights from the US often being scheduled on Saturdays, some resorts have a weekly schedule, with an end-of-week party Friday night, such as the BBQ at Buddy Dive Resort.
