Bonaire! Bon Bini! Mi Stima Bonaire!

Bonaire is a small island located in the southern Caribbean region, within the ABC islands of the Dutch Caribbean.

The island’s marine park is home to over 400 species of fish and is a protected area. Bonaire also has a rich history and culture with influences from Spanish, Dutch, and indigenous peoples.

The island’s capital, Kralendijk, features brightly colored buildings and a vibrant market. Bonaire is also known for its salt flats, which have been in operation since the 17th century and are a major source of income for the island. The island is also home to a national park that offers hiking and bird-watching opportunities. Bonaire has a laid-back atmosphere, friendly locals, and a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets.

Cruise ships dock in Kralendijk which is the capital of Bonaire. Kralendijk is semi-modern with paved streets and they are in good shape. Once you get further into the island, the streets are very narrow but maintained fairly decent. You drive on the right hand side of the road on Bonaire. Once you exit the cruise port, there’s a very small shopping area but no Dufry store to walk through. Kralendijk is a short walk to the left of the cruise terminal if you wish to walk into town.
