Bonaire windsurfing holidays, with the Dutch Antilles experts.

Windsurf Holidays To Bonaire

Bonaire, and its small sister island Klien Bonaire, is one of three islands in the Caribbean making up the Dutch Antilles or ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) and is one of the least tourist-developed and visited of the islands, yet both on land and under the sea, one of the Caribbean's most striking. It is located just north of Venezuela, south of the hurricane belt offering a year-round stable climate. Apart from being a fantastic windsurf and wingfoiing location Bonaire also offers world-class diving so makes for an ideal windsurf / dive combination holiday.

The island of Bonaire offers a friendly environment for all visitors. Couples can enjoy each other's company, even if one likes to sail and the other likes to enjoy the beach. And it is the ideal place for a family holiday. Children can also begin the lessons when they are four years old! Bonaire is one of the best flat water and easiest windsurf destinations in the world! There is a stunningly beautiful flat water lagoon, wind for 8 months of the year and a newly renovated hotel directly on the windsurfing beach (Sorobon Beach Resort). For UK travellers, there is no direct flight, but the slightly longer flight route via Amsterdam or Paris is a small price to pay for such a great destination. Also, Bonaire is not as expensive as many other Caribbean Islands, with the general cost of living being more in line with the UK.

The Wind Season In Bonaire

Bonaire has a long wind season, stretching from November to June when the NE trade wind blows, with perhaps the optimum months being from late December to May. The wind during this period is super reliable and consistent, normally between 15-25+ knots.

Things To Do In Bonaire

Approximately 50% of the annual visitors to Bonaire are drawn by scuba diving, but there are also many attractions for the non-divers. A number of activities are available, from hiking and sightseeing in the enormous Washington-Slagbaai National Park at the north-western end of the island to shopping, snorkelling and bird watching.

Bonaire is generally a very laid-back resort, so there is no major nightlife. There are some excellent restaurants and a couple of good bars but no nightclubs. Evenings are best spent over a good meal and a few drinks.

The Accommodation In Bonaire

As with all of our destinations we have spent considerable time and effort inspecting the available hotels and other accommodations in Bonaire so that we are able to recommend the best options.

In Bonaire, we can offer anything from a 5* beach (The Harbour Village) to the more laid-back, small, informal style like Bamboo Bali. If you want to be by Lac Bay for Windsurfing or Wing Foiling, the newly renovated Sorobion Beach Resort is excellent. Having a car in Bonaire is very popular, especially if you want to explore the many snorkelling and scuba diving spots around the island.
