Bonaire: The Dutch Caribbean

Although smaller and lesser known than the other tropical destinations, Bonaire still promises a great time to all those that venture to its shores. From sightseeing to beaches; this tiny island offers so much to those looking for a pleasurable holiday. Here you can find Tourist information Bonaire.

The Bonaire National Marine Park is a tribute to the island's marine preservation efforts. Pay the nature fee and then engage in any of the marine activities offered at the park. These include swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, Kitboarding Bonaire and even fishing to name just a few. If you go during October or November, you might actually see either of the two swimming competitions that take place. If you choose to snorkel, be mindful that you don't actually have to go out far to see the marine life that abounds.

Events and festivals are a great way to learn and experience the destination. Taste of Bonaire if the perfect event to immerse yourself like that. This actually occurs several times a year so always check to see if one will happen during your stay. It will help you eat more of the local food and to get mementos like a goat skin bag.

Kill two birds with one stone and go view the salt flats and the Flamingo Reserve. You can only see the flamingos from the road. Do not attempt to enter into their reserve as it is illegal. If you like visiting distilleries, than you can't miss the Cadushy distillery. Cadushy is a liquer that's made from cactus. There's no entrance fee but it's only open three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, as well as Friday) from 10 until 5 PM.

Bonaire has over 22 beaches if you choose to just laze around on the beach instead of sightseeing. Bachelor's Beach is small and at the base of a cliff. You would have to walk down the stairs to get to the beach. Another beach that makes you work a bit first is the one named 1000 Steps. Here you would have to go down the 67 steps of the limestone stairs. Don't forget to bring your scuba diving gear to this beach since you might be lucky enough to see the turtles in the water.

Return to your everyday life refreshed after some time in this Dutch Caribbean Island. You will leave with memories and the desire to come back again and again! Remember, those twenty two beaches aren't going to explore themselves!
