Snorkeling
Whether you come from Sand Dollar to Bari Reef, or explore further afield, there are plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with colorful corals, tropical reef fish, turtles, eagle rays and more!
Some dive sites offer shallower reefs than others, and our neighbor, Dive Friends, is always on hand with helpful advice. Bring your own snorkeling equipment, rent it at the dive center or buy it at one of the well-stocked stores. Snorkeling while visiting Bonaire is a must!
Windsurfing
Bonaire's east coast has a huge bay protected by a reef wall. The calm, shallow waters and clean, strong winds have made this area a world-renowned windsurfing mecca. Not just for visitors, our Bonarians have put this small island on the world map with their many award-winning championships, especially in freestyle competitions.
Enjoy a drink or meal at one of the casual beach bars and be inspired by their joy and dedication as they practice jumps and turns high in the air. For both beginning and advanced windsurfers, there is equipment for rent, instruction available and plenty of space in this beautiful bay to join in the action.
Kitesurfing
Atlantis Beach, located south along the west coast road, is home to kitesurfers. Here you'll find a passionate community that uses kites to harness the wind, skim along the water and leap into the air.
Equipment rentals, instruction and safety boats gather on this one beach, keeping other locations safe for divers. Whether you stop for a short time or make it the focus of your vacation, Atlantis Beach brings together a tight-knit group of enthusiastic kitesurfers amid a backdrop of bright, vibrant colors and exciting stunts.
