Snorkeling

Bonaire is one of the best snorkeling destinations in the world, offering countless spots to explore the island’s vibrant marine life. Snorkeling here requires minimal equipment—a well-fitted mask, a snorkel, and a pair of fins are all you need to comfortably enjoy the experience. In Kralendijk, you’ll find plenty of dive and snorkel shops where both beginners and experienced snorkelers can rent high-quality gear. If you’re staying at Windhoek Luxury Resort Bonaire, our team will be happy to help you select the perfect equipment for your adventure.

Just a few minutes by car or a 30-minute walk from Windhoek Boutique Resort Bonaire, you’ll find Te Amo Beach, one of the island’s most popular snorkeling spots. This beach is ideal for snorkeling because of its gentle entry into the water—no sharp rocks or stones to worry about. The shallow, crystal-clear waters reveal coral formations close to the shore, so you won’t have to swim far to immerse yourself in a whole new world beneath the surface. At Te Amo Beach, you’ll spot colorful fish, fascinating corals, and, if you’re lucky, even sea turtles. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen regularly, as the sun is intense, and it’s easy to get burned while floating on the water.

A trip to Bonaire in 2025 wouldn’t be complete without an excursion to Klein Bonaire. This small island off the coast is accessible by water taxi, which departs from Kralendijk every hour. Klein Bonaire is a six-square-kilometer nature reserve with pristine white sand beaches, the most famous being No Name Beach. Here, you’ll find stunning coral reefs teeming with a wide variety of colorful fish. The island is also a sea turtle nesting ground, which is why it remains undeveloped. Be sure to bring your own food and drinks, and always clean up after yourself to help preserve this special place. You can also combine your snorkeling adventure with a scenic walk around the island. For more details on excursions to Klein Bonaire, ask at the Windhoek Boutique Resort Bonaire reception.
