Sport & Activities

Watersports: Kayaking, scuba diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and water-skiing are all available with facilities and tuition as necessary. The waters around the island are clear, safe and teeming with fish of every size and hue. Fishing and sailing charters are popular; half- or full-day cruises can be arranged round the bay or to Klein Bonaire, the island’s tiny uninhabited sister isle. Every October there is a sailing regatta during which there is a carnival atmosphere on the island. The focus of the regatta is the new marina, just a few minutes out of Kralendijk: berthing facilities for various types of vessel, a shipyard, and a drydock make Bonaire a pleasure boater’s retreat.

Other: The main hotels and sporting centres on the island have tennis facilities and mountain bikes are available for hire. Birdwatching trips and horseriding are also popular. There are two day spas on the island offering sea salt baths.
