When travel gurus need a place to unwind underwater, they need a swim through the park…the Bonaire National Marine Park. This beautiful Caribbean island has a wonderful reef that is stringently protected to ensure its marine life will prosper for years and is the main attraction when thinking Bonaire travel. Slip on your water shoes and slide into the warm waters of Bonaire. Head out to the reef from the shores. Visibility is wonderful in the clear waters. Since the reef is healthy, there is an abundance of marine life. Places like 18 Palms offer glimpses of reef squid and sea turtles. Oil Slick Reef is a great spot to look for tube worms and eagle rays. These reefs steal the Bonaire travel show! Corals and sponges thrive in the protected areas where no touching is allowed. Staghorn and Elkhorn corals are everywhere. Coral nurseries are raising the next generation. The island charges a small fee to snorkel for the whole year. This money goes to preserve the reef and marine life. Be sure to take plenty of sunscreen and water. Bonaire is hot and dry, not rain-forested like a lot of the Caribbean islands. However, it is worth the long trip, the hot climate and the lack of abundant beaches to come and snorkel here. Parrot fish, angel fish, and spotted trunk fish are just a few of the species you will see underneath the surface. There are arrow crabs, eels and green turtles. Thousands of things to see are awaiting traveling gurus embarking on Bonaire travel. Be sure to bring an underwater camera. Lac Bay in Bonaire is a snorkeling haven. Walk out to the tiny islands and then snorkel back inward. The water is very shallow, usually not over your knees, perfect for snorkeling. There is plenty of coral and sea life despite the shallow waters. After you finish, stop at the Wind and Surf Beach Hut for a great fish sandwich. The Bari Reef is another snorkeling hot spot on the Bonaire travel checklist. Easy walk-in access to shallow waters where blue tangs, moray eels and royal angels in abundance grace the waters. You may even see octopi hiding in the rocks. Variety is the spice of life and this reef is definitely lively! For some snorkeling with truly unique scenery, try the Salt Pier. Here, a mountain of salt lines the backdrop where you can dip in and find iron pillars that protect barracuda, tarpon and French angel fish. The water, due to the salt evaporation process, can be blue, pink or green. You will want to get pictures of all of the colors of this lovely area. The iron pillars and the pier itself are protectors of the prolific coral that thrives underneath—don’t miss this stop on the Bonaire travel scene! Pass by pink flamingos as you enter the waters at Boca Slagbaai. You can choose to jump from the cliffs into the waters or just wade in at a shallow spot. Mostly rocky shores are broken up by a small sandy beach. The waters lack a lot of coral but have plenty of fish. Anyone that loves the water, will absolutely fall in love with this part of the world….And if you love to snorkel, this is your Mecca. So start planning now and get ready to be one with nature—underwater nature when you commit to Bonaire Travel!
