Bonaire is an island in the Netherlands Antilles. It is part of the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles along with Aruba and CuraƧao. There are several languages spoken including Dutch, Papiamentu, Spanish, and English.

Bonaire is world renowned for its excellent scuba diving and snorkling. It is consistently rated among the top shore diving and Caribbean diving locations in the world. The island is ringed by a coral reef which is easily accessible from the shore along the Western and Southern sides. Furthermore, the entire coastline of the island has been declared a marine sanctuary, preserving local fish life.

Just off the coast on the west side of the island is Klein Bonaire. Snorkling and scuba diving there are incredible as it is very well preserved.


Bonaire is also famed for its bright pink flamingo populations and its donkey sanctuary. Flamingos are drawn to the brackish water, which harbours shrimp they feed on. Starting in the 1500s, the Dutch raised sheep, goats, pigs, horses and donkeys on Bonaire. The descendants of the goats and donkeys roam the island today and many are at the donkey sanctuary which is commited to keeping them save and healthy.

The only generally recognized towns on the island are Kralendijk and Rincon. Kralendijk is located in the middle of the island on the west coast. Ricon is on the northen part of the island close to the national park.

    ok, so we spent a pretty uneventful day or two in Antigua... I went provisioning and I think that was it.  There were a lot of really famous boats there, including the Maltese Falcon, which was neat to see in person.  We had a nice passage to Dominica, where we spent a really busy couple of days.  The first day we did the boiling lake hike.  I missed this hike when I was a shipmate on Ocean Star 9 years ago because I was sick, and then last semester I had to fly out that d...
