Great place to visit. Really incredible scenery. It was like being in another world. The driving was rather exciting since it was pouring when we started.

The shore diving in Bonaire is by far the best. We have visited Bonaire for the last 8 years and have enjoyed every diving experience. The great thing about shore diving is you can go on your own schedule, you don't have to depend on a boat to take you. You really don't appreciate how good it is until you... More

Overall remains the best shore diving and snorkeling in the caribbean. Reef protection system must be working, overall appeared healthy with lots of wild life.

Bonaire is called 'divers paradise' for a a good reason. Great and easy shore diving. Easy walk or a short swim to the reef, dive site well marked, park ranger are friendly and helpful.

There are so many dive sites to pick from. But, our favorites where the ones reached only by boat. We went to two dive sites on the north side. Shore dives where just as nice

Breath taking experience, from the views of the ocean, lakes, and under the sea. While it retains a feel of wilderness, the road was in great shape. Best to use a vehicle with clearance. Not a trip for a car. The road was dry with only a little dust kicking up. I would use a 4x4 for sure, if it... More

Unlike most reviewers I do not think Bonaire offers great diving. In best case it is avarage. all div es on Bonaire are from the shore. Dive sites are marked by yellow stones. Some entries are quite tricky in case of choppy sea because you have to walk over uneven rocks. Some resorts orhanize boat trips which make sense only... More

Amazing visibility, good coral structures and lots of fish and interesting sea creatures. The ease of shore diving makes us want to keep coming back!
