Bonaire Island Tour | Royal Caribbean Bonaire | What to do in Bonaire
We did the Best of Bonaire shore excursion with Royal Caribbean and Freedom of the Seas that took us on an island tour.
Highlights include:
- scenic drive to the south side of the island
- Salt Flats
- Historic Homes of the Salt Flat workers (Slave Huts as locally referred to)
- Lac Bay
Our tour guide was very informative and commentated the entire drive. We began the tour with a scenic drive from the cruise terminal and heard about the history of the island including the salt industry. We stopped to see some of the salt flats where the salt continues to be produced to this day. Our next stop was at the historic homes of the salt workers - and a view into slavery on the island to support this industry. We ended our tour at Lac Bay, a spot popular with windsurfers and swimmers for the calm waters, but strong breeze.
Following the tour we were dropped off at the cruise port and then went exploring Kralendijk, Bonaire.

From:
Think pink on this leisurely, commentated drive on the lookout for Bonaire's famous flamingos. Travel through the countryside to the southeast's lush mangrove forests, stopping for a refreshment break at the spectacular bay where you can dip your feet in the turquoise waters. At the salt flats of Pekelmeer (Pink Lake), shrimp-filled pools attract flocks of flamingos. Touch history inside the crude huts that sheltered the 19th century slaves who worked and harvested salt here.

------------
Kralendijk is the capital of Bonaire, a Dutch island in the Caribbean Sea. there are lots of interesting shops in Kralendijk . Shop along Klein Bonaire, Kralendijk’s main street for souvenirs like locally made jewelry, paintings, ceramics, wood and leather products . While strolling along the streets, you'll notice well-preserved architecture, waterfront eateries.
You’ll find Creole dishes such as grilled spicy fish, goat stew and cactus soup and local versions of Dutch products, such as smoked meat and excellent cheese. The locally brewed beer is also worth trying, as is the creamy hot chocolate.

BONAIRE - Travel Guide | Around The World
Bonaire is a Caribbean island east of Central America and north of Venezuela. The island is part of the ABC Islands together with Aruba and Curaçao. It is a flat, riverless island renowned for its dive spots. Its tropical climate is moderated by constant trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean. The temperature is almost constant at about 27 degrees Celsius (81 degrees Fahrenheit).
Politically, Bonaire is a special municipality fully integrated in the Netherlands proper.
Tourism is one of the major industries of the island, and 80% of visitors to the island come to scuba dive. Bonaire is often considered the top best scuba dive destination in the Caribbean. The colorful coral reef that circles the island is lush and diverse, and its proximity to the island makes for spectacular and convenient shore diving.
The second major source of tourism on the island is cruise ship visitors whose boats dock for a single day and then depart at night. With a local population of only 18 000, the visiting passengers of 3000 or 4000 person cruise liner have a significant influence on the island, particularly in downtown Kralendijk where the ships dock.
Bonaire has its own passport control stations to monitor visa requirements and entry and exit regulations. (Bonaire is politically and administratively a part of the Netherlands, but it is not part of the the Schengen Area, and therefore has different entry laws than the Netherlands.)
Although Bonaire is part of the European Netherlands makeup, those living ouside the public bodies of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba have limited freedom to visit Bonaire. Dutch nationals and citizens living outside the public bodies can visit Bonaire visa-free for 6 months. The Dutch identity card is not valid in Bonaire, instead the Identity card BES is required to enter Bonaire.
Visitors from dozens of countries can enter Bonaire visa free as a tourist. Cruise ship passengers also do not need visas.
Direct flights onto the island are available from the Netherlands (with KLM, departing from Amsterdam), several US hubs, and Canada (with Sunwing, departing from Toronto). Smaller Caribbean airlines connect Bonaire to nearby islands. European and North American flights may offer tickets to Bonaire through code sharing with local airlines out of Curacao. (Note that Caribbean airlines tend to be less reliable than larger commercial operations, so be prepared for unforeseen delays, changes, or cancellations.)
Passengers arriving by plane will need to clear passport control before entering the airport. This may require waiting in line in the sun, so plan accordingly. The airport itself is open air (not air conditioned) and does not have any restaurant or shopping facilities.
Bonaire is not publicly accessible by passenger ferries. It is possible to arrive via a chartered or private boat. Some Caribbean cruise lines stop for a day in Kralendijk.

Scuba Diving
If you came to Bonaire, you probably came to dive. Numerous packages and facilities cater to the least and most experienced divers. Even the standard issue local tourist map has dive sites clearly listed. Most sites are accessible for shore diving, and a few can only be reached by boat. Designated dive sites are marked by a (painted) yellow rock with the name of the dive site.
Snorkeling
If you didn't come as a diver, or if you're visiting on a cruise ship, snorkelling is a fun, easy way to experience the underwater world of a coral reef. You'll need a snorkel mask, a snorkel tube, and a pair of fins. You can bring your own or buy some from a local shop, but if you just want to try it out, guided tours are available that include basic instructions and equipment rentals. Experienced snorkellers will find plenty of diverse sites to visit. Some have beach or ladder access, while others require entering and exiting over ironshore (so reef shoes are recommended). Snorkellers require a permit which can be purchased from any local dive shop.

Top Things To Do In Bonaire
Bonaire, is located in the Caribbean Sea about 50 miles north of the Venezuelan coast. Bonaire is best known for spectacular scuba diving and an unparalleled commitment to marine conservation, resulting in thriving coral, hundreds of species of fish and more turtles than you can count.
Up on dry land, you might be surprised to find sharp limestone topography dotted with acacia and kadushi cactus up to 30 feet tall across a mostly arid, scrubby landscape
There are miles and miles of white sandy beaches to be found on Bonaire and sister island Klein Bonaire.

This trip to Bonaire was incredible and way too short. Bonaire was by far our favorite island in the southern Caribbean. The undeveloped charm, friendly locals and crystal clear waters teaming with life are irresistible. We stopped on a Bonaire for a day during a cruise on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas and both agreed we will be back to this Caribbean paradise. The people of Bonaire were welcoming and genuinely friendly at every step and the sell at all costs attitude present in many cruise ports was not present in Bonaire. As soon as we got off the ship, we stopped by what we thought was a timeshare stand for a map but it was actually just a service provided by Bonaire to give information and maps without trying to sell us anything. Amazing! Using the information from the stand, we walked to a free beach to snorkel and swim in some of the most crystalline water we've ever seen. The sea life in Bonaire is second to none with such a wide variety of species right close to the shore, it's clear that Bonaire's aquatic conservation and preservation efforts have paid off. Don't miss this incredible little slice of heaven nestled in the southern Caribbean.
