BONAIRE WINDSURFING HOLIDAYS

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 an amazing windsurf location Bonaire also offer world-class diving and 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 from four years old! Bonaire is one of the most perfect and easiest windsurf destinations in the world! There is a stunningly beautiful huge flat water lagoon, wind almost all year and a very nice hotel directly on the windsurf beach. For UK travellers there is no direct flight but the longer flight time is a small price to pay for such a great destination. Also, Bonaire is not as expensive as many of the other Caribbean Islands with the general cost of living more in line with the UK.

The wind in Bonaire is fairly good all year but the highest wind period historically has been from January to May; the lowest wind season is October / November.

Approximately 50% of the annual visitors to Bonaire are drawn by the 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 and so there is no major nightlife. There are some nice restaurants, a couple of good bars but no nightclubs. Evenings are best spent over a good meal and a few drinks.

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 5* beach resorts like the Bonaire Harbour Village through the more laid back informal style like Bamboo Bali. All the hotels are between 10 and 25 minutes drive to the kitesurf and windsurf beach so we will include a car in your holiday quote.
