For your safety and convenience, please keep your vehicle's doors unlocked and the windows partially down to signal that the car is open. Avoid leaving any valuables in the vehicle; take everything with you or be prepared for the possibility of loss. It's best not to lock your glovebox. Most rental cars are manual transmissions, so be sure to use the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Note that there are no traffic lights on the island, and you'll encounter many pedestrians, cyclists, and scooter riders. Beeping is a common way for locals to greet each other, so don’t be surprised if you hear it often.

Su prefers a thick-sole short dive boot for shore entries, offering comfort and protection on rocky or uneven surfaces.

We recommend bringing your snorkel mask, booties, fins, and, of course, your bathing suit! We recommend wearing a rash guard, skin suit, or wetsuit for sun protection, as this eliminates the need for sunscreen, which can be harmful to the coral reefs. The rocky shores make booties a safer and more comfortable choice for getting in and out of the water. These garments will keep you protected from the sun and stings while also helping to preserve the marine environment. If you don’t have snorkel gear, don’t worry! There are plenty of dive shops on the island where you can easily rent or buy everything you need. If you would like to order your gear ahead of time so you have time to try get the sizes & colors of the item of your choice, then I suggest checking out our Amazon list of our favorite items.

Whether you’re looking to take a course, rent tanks, or explore Klein Bonaire on a boat ride, they’ve got everything you need.

Sorobon (fun to watch windsurfers),  Lac Cai (the weekend bar is open on Sundays),  Pink Beach (tumbled coral beach),  Atlantis (fun to watch kitesurfers),  No Name beach at Klein,  Slagbaai in Washington Slagbaai Park Donkey Beach (very busy on Sundays with local people)

Echo Parrot Sanctuary tour Donkey Sanctuary – buy a few bags of carrots & cut them into quarter size pieces so you will have plenty to feed the donkeys.  Don’t give them all out in the beginning or you won’t have enough to give by the end of the drive. Snorkel – You need thick sole dive boots & open heeled fins. Bari’s Reef at the broken down pier – it’s like swimming in an aquarium. In front of our property - you will see turtles, pufferfish, filefish, parrotfish, trunkfish, eels, sea urchins, tarpons, sergeant majors, bonefish, goatfish, angelfish, blennies, and if you can spot them you’ll see octopus, lobsters, spotted eagle rays, ocean triggerfish and lots of juveniles. Lac Bay – walk out through the shallow bay to the reef and check out the beautiful reef, swim to the left to see the elk corals & on the way in you will see large conch. La Dania’s Leap – take a jump into the pristine corals & drift to Karpata. Wayaka – spend that day snorkeling at Wayaka I, II & III in Washington Slagbaai Park. Klein – we suggest going to Klein with SeaCow (if you are more independent) or Woodwind (if you like more guidance) or do both – but then do Woodwind first then SeaCow. Mangrove kayak & snorkel – we think the snorkel is the best part of this tour, but you want to go with a small tour company & be the first to go on the snorkel.  Otherwise, everyone will kick up the sand and you can’t see anything – especially when there are a lot of people.  ​ Sit at the boulevard with a cold drink & watch the sunset. Enjoy ice cream at Luciano’s or Gio's in town. Yhanni makes authentic Venezuelan arepas behind Budget Marine. Hike up Brandaris – you have to take the short route in Washington Slagbaai Park because you can’t get there from the long route & you can’t backtrack. Bird watching – see flamingos, parrots, parakeets, herons, egrets, pelicans, laughing gulls, ducks, etc.   Weekend Bar has live music on Sundays at Lac Cai. There is so much more!  Just ask!

It’s a great idea to make a dinner reservation, especially during the high season when restaurants can be busy. You can easily check availability by visiting their website, sending a WhatsApp message, or stopping by the restaurant. Securing your spot in advance ensures you’ll enjoy a fantastic dining experience without the wait! For a full list of recommended restaurants, please visit our website under Food & Drink. You'll find a variety of options to suit every taste and occasion.

Tipping at restaurants is entirely at your discretion. Typically, tips are shared among the entire staff, including waiters, bartenders, hosts, and kitchen staff. While most restaurants accept credit cards for the bill, they often request that tips be given in cash. This helps ensure that the staff receives your gratuity directly.

In many restaurants, especially in Bonaire, once you're seated, the table is yours for the entire evening. There's no rush to finish your meal, unlike in some other countries like the USA. That's why your waiter or waitress won’t automatically bring you the check. When you're ready to leave, simply request the bill from your server, and they'll be happy to bring it to you. This allows for a more relaxed and leisurely dining experience.

The dress code is casual to casual nice. Feel free to dress comfortably for a relaxed dining experience!
