Bonaire-Oct-2026

The island is located in the southern Caribbean, outside the hurricane belt close to Aruba and Curaçao, which are only respectively 86 and 30 miles away. Bonaire is just a 3-hour flight from Miami.

Consistently rated as the top dive destination in the world and as a pioneer in preserving nature, Bonaire is a dream for every diver. Over 80 dive sites, many of which are easily accessible by shore, truly make Bonaire the shore diving capital of the world. However, this boomerang-shaped island, 24 miles long by 3-5 miles wide, also offers a variety of activities for those who do not dive..

The clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and sunbathing. Diving, kayaking, caving, snorkeling, mountain biking, wind- or kitesurfing, bird watching, hiking, or just relaxing and re-energizing from the real world’s stress: you name it and you will find it on Bonaire.

Bonaire’s waters offer something special for every diver. Novice divers will appreciate the calm waters while diving in Bonaire, reefs that run parallel to shore, and minimal currents.
