Diving, the main reason to visit Bonaire? |
Diving is the main reason for visiting Bonaire, no doubt about it. Bonaire is supposed to be one of the best diving destinations in the Caribbean, and every aspect on tourism reflect this fact. I travelled to Bonaire mainly to relax after visiting the Galápagos, spending a large week on the island. Although I snorkeled a lot and also managed to do some diving, Bonaire is also a good birding destination, especially in the Washington/Slagbaai National Park. |
