Bonaire Island is located in the southern Caribbean and is one of the few remaining ecological treasures in the world. Also, the Caribbean islands boast of having one of the most natural marine resources. That is why it has ranked high as one of the finest scuba diving and snorkeling destinations for the last two decades. This has happened because the waters around the island have been legally protected since 1979. It is reported that over 180 000 tourists arrive in Bonaire each year (source: tourismanalytics.com).

In addition to scuba diving and snorkeling, unusual trade winds off the island create an ideal environment for windsurfing, sea kayaking and sailing. These are some of the other water games that visitors can engage in while at the island.
