Frequently Asked Questions
Right in the town centre, steps from the main street. No shuttle, no maze of a terminal: you walk down the gangway and everything is there. Lean over the quay and you can already pick out parrotfish among the corals.
Yes. The entire island is ringed by a marine park protected since 1979, one of the oldest on the planet. Numbered yellow stones along the coastal roads mark dozens of sites reachable straight from the shore, without a boat.
Yes, very easily. Mask and snorkel are enough to float over coral gardens a few strokes from the shore. Klein Bonaire, ten minutes by water taxi from the pier, offers the simplest conditions for a first taste of the island's reefs.
An uninhabited scrap of coral fringed by a white beach and clear water where visibility often exceeds thirty metres. Shuttles leave from shore several times a day with regular afternoon returns. Note: the islet has no shade at all — bring water and a hat.
Kaya Grandi, the main shopping street, with its ochre and lemon façades in tropical Dutch style, duty-free shops and cafés. On the waterfront, the small orange fort and its lighthouse watch over the fishing boats. The capital takes about an hour to walk at an easy pace.
Yes, at the Pekelmeer sanctuary in the south of the island, home to one of the few breeding colonies of Caribbean flamingos. The birds keep their distance: do not expect to get close, but their fuchsia shapes ripple above the pans.
Tiny white and ochre structures lined up facing the sea, where enslaved salt workers slept four or five to a hut before the long walk back to Rincon. The stop is plain and silent, and it stays with you. The road there runs past salt pans that turn pink under the sun.
Yes, the donkey sanctuary, home to several hundred descendants of the pack animals abandoned after the colonial era. You drive through with the windows down and curious muzzles guaranteed. It is the stop children agree on.
Papiamento, born from a mix of Spanish, Dutch and African speech, is the everyday language. Dutch is official, and English and Spanish circulate freely. Making yourself understood is not a problem.
An arid landscape of columnar cactus and dry-stone walls that recalls the American West more than the tropics. Rincon, the island's oldest village, sits in a valley twenty-five minutes from the port; a small distillery there draws a liqueur from the local cactus.
