The natural beauty of Bonaire makes this island perfect for hiking. With lots of well-hidden vistas there is more than enough to explore. For example in Washington-Slagbaai National Park you will get the best views after doing some hiking and climbing. But also outside of the park there is lots to discover. A couple of hiking trails are to be found by the pink rocks which will lead your way into the stunning nature of Bonaire.
The hilly landscape in the north of the island is every mountain bikers dream. Miles and miles of trails have been mapped on Bonaire for mountain bikers. Literally around every hilltop there are different vistas to enjoy. With such a wide variety of routes, we’re sure to be able to put together a tour that best suits your interest and fitness level. Although there is not much traffic on Bonaire to begin with, this sport really allows you to get away from it all.
The tranquil island of Bonaire is a perfect spot for birdwatchers. The yellow-shouldered parrots and flamingos are well-known, but Bonaire has many more species of birds. This island’s nature is as beautiful above the water as below. Almost two hundred species of birds live on the island, and bird watching is gaining popularity. During a bird watching tour, you are not only discovering the diversity of Bonaire’s bird population, but at the same time, you’ll visit sites and locations you would otherwise never get to explore.
Bonaire has many cave systems on the western part of the island; some are dry and others have lakes and tunnels. A few caves are open for guided tours and give you the unique opportunity to explore these ancient wonders with their majestic stalactites and stalagmites. Out of over one hundred caves on Bonaire, a mere three of them are accessible for tourists and they may only be entered under the supervision of a certified guide. Explore this unknown and mystical side of Bonaire!
Flamingo’s are probably Bonaire’s best known trademark. One spot where you almost always have a ‘flamingo guarantee’ is the Goto Lake or the salt pans in the south. From a distance the salt pans look like snowy mountains, a truly amazing and surprising scenery in the tropics. Most eye-catching and impressive are the slave huts on the southern tip of the island. A vacation to Bonaire is not complete without a half or full-day trip to the green and hilly Washington-Slagbaai National Park.
Are you ready for a fun ride? Explore the island on the back of a horse, for both beginners and experienced riders. You can either join a lesson at one of the horse ranches or go on a gorgeous horseback trail ride. Ride thru the outback of Bonaire, while enjoying the cactuses, donkeys, goats and flamingo sightings to the lagoon where you can take the horses for a swim, an experience to remember for a lifetime!
