Bonaire Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Bonaire, an autonomous part of the Netherland Antilles 50 miles north of Venezuela, has notoriety as a diver's and snorkeler's paradise. The island boasts superb reefs and relatively unspoiled surroundings. Neither lush with vegetation nor lined with beaches, Bonaire features an arid desert-like landscape and a dearth of sandy spots. Since 1970, the reefs surrounding the island have been part of the Bonaire Marine Park preserve. Ships can't drag their anchors and divers must respect the coral. As a result, Bonaire delivers a spectacular underwater fantasy for scuba and snorkeling devotees.
