If you came across this article you are probably researching for your next Caribbean holidays. We would like to introduce you to a relatively unspoilt Caribbean destination. Bonaire known as a diver's paradise is a small island that lies just north of Venezuela and is a perfect all-year family holiday destination.
Expanding from mid-January all the way until September, the extensive dry season is Bonaire's most favourable period as hundreds of tourists flock the island year after year. Precipitation levels over the nine month dry season average at a tiny 200mm. This provides endless hours of sunshine and daily temperatures above 30C. Sea temperatures remain very similar to air temperatures; however they are still a very soothing way to freshen up after a long day in the sun.
The quiet capital of Kralendijk has only one main street, and as you stroll along you'll see colourful buildings constructed in the Dutch-colonial style. Along the water is a promenade and many of the streets are lined with shops and restaurants. The town pier is worth a visit, during the early mornings fishmongers and fruit vendors set up shop at the alfresco market.
It's recommended that if you want to dine at a particular restaurant on a given day, especially for dinner, that you make reservations. During normal periods, it may suffice to place your reservation the same day as your intended meal, but for waterside dining, it may be a good idea to call a day in advance. The front desk at the hotel you're staying in can help you with this.
Most of the beaches on Bonaire are public with the exception of Harbour Village Resort where access is rectricted to guests and to those who have paid an entrance fee. Public nudity of any kind is illegal and insulting to the local people, except on Sorobon Beach (a privately owned nudist resort). Topless sunbathing and swimming is tolerated on non-locally used beaches.
Travelers usually arrive via air, through Bonaire's Flamingo International Airport. Direct flights from North American are usually not available, so many travelers from the U.S. and Canada connect through Hato International Airport in Curaao. Connecting flights are also available from Caribbean regional air carriers through the airports at San Juan, Santo Domingo, and Montego Bay, among others. Air Jamaica, American Eagle, Dutch Caribbean, and KLM often offer such connecting flights.
