Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary - Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean
Learn more about the Flamingo Sanctuary on:
Video by Flow Synergy:
The Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary is located on the southern tip of Bonaire and is home to the beautiful pink flamingo as well as scores of other birds. Salt pans are a natural draw for birds and Bonaire has been extracting salt from its natural salt ponds for centuries. The salt flats are filled with brine shrimp which are an important part of the flamingo's diet. Eating a large quantity of the shrimp give the flamingos their brilliant pink color.

South Bonaire Island Scooter Tour UNBELIEVABLE Pink Salt Lake & Flamingos
Come explore the south side of Bonaire Island as we take our scooter to visit the unbelievable pink salt lake! Let's find out why they are pink, which may give us an indication of why #flamingos are ALSO pink!
The Pink Salt Flats is part of the Cargill Salt Works company who uses about 13% of the island's surface area to manufacture sea salt. Water from the Caribbean Sea is pumped into the salt flats and is set to evaporate over several months. The result is salt that's used in commercial applications, medications, water softeners, and for cooking. After production, the salt is then transported by large ships to various locations in the Caribbean, North America, Europe, and Africa.
The water in the Pink Salt Flats is pink because of a microorganism called halophilic bacteria. This bacteria thrives in highly salty environments. The cell membranes all contain carotenoid pigments, which produces the pink color. This just so happens to be something that is ingested by flamings as they eat crustaceans and rosy brine shrimp from these ponds.
On the trek around the south end of #BonaireIsland, we also stopped to visit the Willemstoren #Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1837 to protect the ships passing by the shallow reefs, aiding in protecting them from becoming shipwrecked!

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.

Anthem of Bonaire
The Island Territory of Bonaire (Dutch: Eilandgebied Bonaire, Papiamento: Teritorio Insular di Boneiru) is one of five island territories (Eilandgebieden) of the Netherlands Antilles. It is located in the Carribeans.
'Tera di Solo y suave biento' is the national anthem of Bonaire. The lyrics are in the Papiamento language.
Lyrics
Tera di Solo i suave bientu
Patria orguyoso Sali foi laman
Pueblo humilde i sèmper kontentu
Di un kondukta tur parti gaba
Pues lage nos trata tur dia
Pa sèmper nos Boneiru ta menta
Pa nos kanta den bon armonia
Dushi Boneiru nos tera stima
Laga nos tur como Boneiriano
Uni nos kanto i alsa nos bos
Nos ku ta yiu di un pueblo sano
Sèmper contentu sperando den Dios
Ningun poder no por kita e afekto
Ku nos ta sinti pa e isla di nos
Maske chikitu ku su defekto
Nos ta stimele ariba tur kos
Translation
Country of sun and gentle breeze,
Proud country arose from the sea
Humble people, always satisfied
Itself always bravely keeping out
Let us try each day,
Bonaire confessed make
And we sing in good harmony:
Delicious Bonaire, our beloved fatherland
Laar our only as Bonaireanen,
All sing and our votes raise
We, as children of a healthy race,
Always happy, believing in God
No strength can us decrease this love,
Such as we that feel for our island
In spite of that it is small and not perfect
We keep of it above everything.

Salt Pans - Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean
Learn more about the Salt Pans on:
Video by Flow Synergy:
The salt pans or salt flats of Bonaire have been used for the extraction and exportation of salt for centuries. These natural ponds were first worked by African slaves who were brought to Bonaire to work the salt pans and plantations.
Slave huts were built on the southern coast of the island, near the salt pans to house the slaves. Unbearably tiny and intolerably hot, it's hard to believe that the slaves could actually stand upright inside the huts much less live in there for any period of time. They are built right on the shore and overlook the ocean. Colored obelisk markers still dot the shore; their different colors indicating to offshore ships where to drop anchor for salt pickup.

Suikerdiefje op Bonaire is een bijzonder vogeltje
BONAIRE – Het vogeltje heeft zijn naam te danken aan het stelen van suiker. Het suikerdiefje met zijn gele borst en zwarte vleugeltjes is in grote getale te zien op Bonaire. De officiële naam van het suikerdiefje is Coereba flaveola. Dat het vogeltje veel bij de hotels op het eiland is te bewonderen is geen verrassing want daar is veel suiker te vinden.
DE ZOUTPANNEN VAN BONAIRE
Al sinds de 17e eeuw wordt er op Bonaire zout gewonnen. Destijds dienden slaven het zout uit de zoutpannen te scheppen en naar de schepen te brengen. Op twee plaatsen langs het Pekelmeer zijn een aantal slavenhuisjes te zien. Doordeweeks sliepen de slaven in deze huisjes en in het weekend gingen ze lopend naar hun familie in Rincón, een tocht van 7 uur.
The Economic Value of a Seahorse on Bonaire
Bonaire, known for its outstanding nature and marine protection gets suppressed by the evolution of economical growth, supported by the government and people with possessive behavior. Scuba Divers are a group of people who hare well aware of how the evolution impacts the environment but often they lose responsibility when they themselves are put on the stand.
If nobody sees me it will be OK
Bonaire must still increase its awareness of protection and needs to monitor more closely tourism and their behavior. The diving freedom what give Bonaire its name Divers Paradise has an will continue to have a negative impact on the reef. In this short film Maria Uyarra a marine biologist, explains how sensitive the subject balances between protecting the reef or
the survival on an Island with an economic unstable situation.
