A low-slung boat slips away from Kralendijk as the island’s flat horizon opens into Caribbean blue. Spray mists the bow and the captain points toward the pale crescent of Klein Bonaire—an uninhabited islet ringed by shallow fringing reef. The first stop drops you into clear water where finger corals and brain corals rise from sand, parrotfish scrape algae from coral heads, and the current nudges you along a living, breathing reef garden.
