Bonaire National Marine Park Adventures

Bonaire National Marine Park, established in 1979, protects the islands' pristine coral reef systems and the surrounding waters around Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. It extends from the high-water mark to a depth of 60 meters (200 feet) and is famous for its commitment to marine conservation. Home to approximately 340 fish species and an array of coral species, the park's marine biodiversity is staggering. The park also supports seagrass beds and mangrove forests, which provide critical breeding grounds for marine life. Historically, Bonaire has been a leader in marine protection, establishing one of the first such parks in the world. Visitors can enjoy activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, and kayaking. Bonaire’s calm waters and consistently warm climate make it a perfect year-round destination for water enthusiasts.
