The island of Bonaire is home to majestic pelicans. These birds, with their large beaks and stunning wings, are an iconic sight along the coastline. Pelicans hunt for fish by soaring high above the water and then plunging with a graceful dive. With their social nature, they often form groups on rocky cliffs or quiet beaches. There they enjoy the sun and sea breeze together. On Bonaire, pelicans are cherished as symbols of the beautiful natural environment. They are often seen as a sign of happiness and freedom. Their presence adds a touch of beauty to the already idyllic island and reminds visitors of the wonders of the natural world. See below a beautiful photo of a flying pelican.

“Bon dia tur hende i bon bini na dushi Boneiru!”
My name is Casper Douma and I am a photographer. Since 2014 I’ve been living on this beautiful island, surrounded by a fringing reef. At first glance, you may see mostly cacti and drought, but Bonaire is a little gem if you get to know it better. I would like to take you on one of my photography tours to show you all the special places of Bonaire. In small groups of maximum 4 people I give you a unique look at the beauty of Bonaire. Became curious? Take a look at my website! I wish you a lot of fun on beautiful Bonaire.
