And then? Boom — Danza De La Selva and the Dreamgirls Dance Group hit the stage. As if that weren’t enough, the Ace Club Dance Talent Show wraps up the night with a jaw-dropping finale. You’ll feel the music in your bones.

Culinary culture in every bite

Let’s talk about the real reason you’re coming: the food.

From sizzling local dishes to globally inspired street snacks, this event is every foodie’s dream. Craving flavors that scream Caribbean soul? You’re in luck. Vendors serve up a variety of dishes that reflect Bonaire’s cultural roots — and its wild creativity.

Quick recap

See you at the Taste of Bonaire!

Looking for a short, accessible hike with spectacular views as a reward? Then Seru Largu is a perfect choice. Not an arduous hike, but a short climb (on foot or by car) to one of Bonaire’s most beautiful viewpoints. The route is paved, well trodden and suitable for just about anyone – even with children or with less hiking experience. And the view? It’s one you won’t soon forget.

Seru Largu trail Bonaire

Seru Largu Hiking Trail

What makes Seru Largu so special?

At about 123 meters above sea level, from Seru Largu’s plateau you look out over almost the entire island. Kralendijk at your feet, Klein Bonaire in the distance, and on a clear day even a glimpse of Curaçao on the horizon.

The name “Seru Largu” literally means “high hill” in Papiamentu – and that’s exactly what it is: a high place with a grand sense of tranquility and space.

How do you reach the hike?

Seru Largu is easily accessible. From Kralendijk follow Kaminda Gurubu in the direction of Rincon. About halfway, you will see the turnoff to Seru Largu clearly marked. You can drive all the way up by car, but those who prefer to go on foot can park at the bottom and walk the last part.

The road up is wide and paved – not an adventurous trail, but just fine for a relaxing morning or evening walk.

When you think of Bonaire, do you think only of beach and diving? Think again. Wasao – a hidden gem in the hilly north of the island – will show you that Bonaire is a spectacle even above water. Not a busy tourist attraction, but a place where silence, nature and views reward you with every step.

Wasao trail Bonaire

Why hiking to Wasao is a must

Imagine: a narrow path, the occasional cactus, around you nothing but nature. You hear the wind, you feel the sun. And there, at the end of the path: Wasao, overlooking Lake Goto, Slagbaai and, on a clear day, even Curaçao. Wow!

This route is not just a walk. It is an adventure. A climb. An experience.

Hiking or biking?

The route is known as the Spruit Trail, named after the Spruit family who opened up the trail and even put a picnic table on top of the hill. The route is marked with blue stones, indicating it is an official bike trail. But honestly? It’s also perfect for hiking. So yes, you can bike there. But hiking? That’s how you take in every detail.

Halfway along the Wasao Trail

How to reach Wasao without getting lost

Drive towards Bopec – a place you are sure to recognize. Following the Tourist Road, you will pass such well-known spots as 1000 Steps and Karpata country house. Just after Karpata, turn left and keep following the sea. At the end, at a sharp bend, go straight towards Bopec. Just before the barrier turn right and park near the wildlife grid.

From there? Walk up. Look for the blue stone in the bend – that’s your starting point. Ready for the climb?

The climb to Wasao: every step is worth it

The path winds uphill. Narrow, with rocks under your feet, cactus all around you and the occasional jump over a loose boulder. But that’s what makes it fun. And then those moments when you look back: Kralendijk sparkles in the distance.

At the three-way intersection just before the summit go straight ahead. Don’t hesitate. A few steps further and there she is: the picnic table with a view.

Your eyes are looking out. Over Washington Slagbaai National Park, over Lake Goto, on clear days even as far as Curaçao. It is pure enjoyment.

On the way back? Choose your own adventure

You can take the same path back. Or… you follow the narrow path further towards the transmitter mast. There the path becomes wider and easier. After the barrier, turn left and walk along a dirt road back to your car. Simple!

Wasao return

Welcome to Angel City, where sand channels, coral gardens, and a second reef just a few fin kicks away create magic below the surface. Tucked close to the southern stretch of Bonaire’s coastline, this is more than just a beautiful dive—it’s an experience.

Where is Angel City located?

Angel City is just south of Kralendijk, near the Salt Pier. You’ll find it between Alice in Wonderland and the ever-popular Hilma Hooker wreck. It’s easy to spot: a yellow mooring buoy and yellow stone marks the site. Pull up, gear up, and walk right in. The beach entry makes it great for shore diving and snorkeling alike.

How to reach the dive site?

Drive along the southern coast of Bonaire, and when you see the bright yellow buoy and stone, you’ve found Angel City. There’s ample space to park your car nearby. Suit up right at the car, take a few steps across the rocky shoreline, and you’re in. No boats, no hassle—just you and the Caribbean Sea.

The first reef begins just a short swim from shore. Cross the sandy patch—often patrolled by southern stingrays—and the second reef will rise before your eyes. It’s like diving into a hidden world.

What makes Angel City special?

This dive site is named after the angel fish that frequent the area, and yes—you’ll see plenty. But the real gem? That double reef structure. It’s rare, it’s striking, and it’s full of life. Between the reefs, the sand channel acts like a superhighway for marine creatures: garden eels, eagle rays, and the occasional turtle.

The layout is perfect for underwater photography. Macro lovers can find shrimp and nudibranchs, while wide-angle shooters will love the coral bridges and large schools of fish. With a max depth of around 40 meters, but loads to see at just 10-15 meters, you don’t have to go deep to get wowed.

Sunwise’s diving experience at Angel City

We love recommending Angel City to our guests. It’s easy to reach, the current is usually mild, and visibility often reaches between 15-30 meters. We’ve spotted everything from moray eels and parrotfish to elusive frogfish hiding in sponges.

It’s a fantastic first dive of your trip or a chilled farewell splash before flying out. The reef always seems to show us something new.

Great marine life!

Expect to meet trumpetfish, angelfish, filefish, and maybe even a scorpionfish lurking under a ledge. Don’t forget to check the sand for jawfish and flounders. Oh—and those eagle rays? Jaw-dropping. Night dives turn things up a notch: octopuses, hunting jacks, and tarpons cruise the reef like it’s theirs (and, well, it kinda is).

Water conditions at Angel City

You’ll typically enjoy warm waters—between 27 and 29°C—with a visibility average of 20 meters. The reef is fairly sheltered, which makes it a smart pick for beginners, snorkelers, and casual divers looking for a relaxed outing.

Diving conditions

The depth starts at around 4.5 meters and goes to about 40 meters. Most of the action, though, happens in that sweet spot between 8 and 20 meters. Bring a dive light—even during the day—and peek into coral nooks. That’s where the real stars hide.

Sunwise’s snorkeling experience

Snorkelers, listen up! You don’t need to go deep to be dazzled at Angel City. Just float along the shallow reef and look down—fish, coral, and the occasional seahorse will make you feel like you’re flying. The entry is gentle enough to wade in without fins.

You’re never far from the reef here, and the colors pop even in just a few feet of water.

Morning dives are magical. The sunlight hits the coral just right, especially between the twin reefs. Midday dives give you full brightness, ideal for spotting colors and fish. If you’re feeling brave, go at sunset or night for the nocturnal critter show.

What is nearby?

You’re minutes from other dive sites, like Alice in Wonderland and Hilma Hooker. When you’re done, swing by the Kite City food truck at Te Amo Beach for fish tacos. Or head into Kralendijk for shopping and sunset cocktails.

Bonaire’s 2024 nesting season was a great success! A total of 132 nests were recorded, from which 10,504 baby turtles crawled. Of these little ones, 1,182 needed just a little more help to find their way safely to the sea. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers and conservation organizations, these young turtles were able to get a chance to survive in the ocean. This makes it a successful year for sea turtles on Bonaire!

Important role of nest adopters

Protecting the nests and successfully escorting the turtles out to sea would not be possible without the support of nest adopters. Their involvement and contributions enabled additional monitoring and care to be provided. Sunwise is also a proud nest adopter, actively supporting this important conservation effort. This contributes to the protection of Bonaire’s sea turtle population and helps ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy these special animals.

Volunteers help sea turtles on Bonaire

Ongoing research on turtle population

With the nesting season behind us, current research is focusing on in-water surveys. Along the west coast of Bonaire, turtles are being captured to collect biometric data. This research provides valuable insights on the population size, growth rates and overall health of Bonaire’s sea turtles. This information is essential for developing effective conservation measures.

Volunteering: help out during nesting season Bonaire

Are you interested in beach patrols and nest monitoring? You can work with Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire for getting started. Volunteering offers a unique opportunity to get involved in the conservation of these beautiful animals. You can help guard nests and monitor the turtles. Book your stay here and come enjoy nesting season.

What makes nesting season Bonaire so special?

The Bonaire nesting season is not just any period of time. It is a time when nature and humans work together for a common goal. Protecting the sea turtles~on Bonaire and their nests is essential to the preservation of the species. This success story is a testament to the effective cooperation between Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire and the volunteers.

Why choose Bonaire?

Bonaire is not only a haven for sea turtles, but also a popular tourist destination. People come here to enjoy the beautiful beaches, clear waters and diverse underwater world. Bonaire’s nesting season offers an additional reason to visit the island. By participating in conservation activities, you contribute to the preservation of this natural beauty.

Nesting Season 2025 has begun!

Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire (STCB) kicked off the 2025 nesting season on May 2nd with their first patrol on Klein Bonaire. They already confirmed 14 nests and counted 118 hatchlings. STCB now actively patrols all three key nesting areas: Klein Bonaire, the southern beaches, and, since June 1st, Playa Chikitu in Washington Slagbaai Park. Their new ‘beachkeeper’ volunteers joined the efforts and play a crucial role in spotting nesting activity. Nest adopters—like Sunwise—help make this conservation work possible with their continued support. STCB even spotted the first hatching of the season during that very first patrol!

Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire

Welcome to one of the most inviting dive sites on Bonaire: Something Special. Despite its simple name, it offers rich reef life, calm conditions, and a great location just steps from Kralendijk. For divers and snorkelers alike, this site really is… something special.

Where is Something Special located?

Something Special sits just north of downtown Kralendijk, near Playa Pabou and the marina. It’s easy to miss if you’re not looking, but once you know where to park, you’re only a few fin-kicks from a beautiful reef system. This location is especially popular with underwater photographers and snorkelers thanks to its calm water and rich biodiversity.

How to reach the dive site?

Drive towards the beginning of the boulevard of Kralendijk and look for parking near the water’s edge—close to the Yellow Submarine dive center. The site is directly at the start of the boulevard, and local divers know the spot. Gear up at your vehicle, walk a short distance, and enter the water via a coral sand, sandy shoreline.

The reef starts close to shore, so you’ll be surrounded by marine life almost immediately. No cliffs, no ladders—just a simple, smooth entry into clear, warm Caribbean waters.

What makes Something Special so special?

“Something Special” might sound vague, but it’s a long-time favorite among local dive guides. The name came from early divers who didn’t quite know what to call it—just that it was… well, special. It stuck. And now it’s one of the most visited dive and snorkel sites on the island.

Next off: the reef. It may not be the deepest or the most dramatic, but it’s absolutely packed with life. From the moment you enter the water, you’ll see schools of fish swirling, corals glowing, and maybe even a turtle cruising by.

This dive site is also great for macro life—frogfish, nudibranchs, and shrimp hide in the coral nooks. If you’re into underwater photography, you’ll find plenty of opportunities here. And because it’s close to town, you can even squeeze in a dive between lunch and sunset cocktails.

Sunwise’s diving experience at Something Special

We often recommend this site to guests who want something easy and rewarding. There’s very little current, excellent visibility, and a reef system that always seems to surprise us. Even when we think we’ve seen it all, Something Special throws in a seahorse, a scorpionfish, or a school of squid.

This spot is ideal for both a first dive on Bonaire and a last relaxing one before flying out.

Great marine life!

Expect everything from trumpetfish and parrotfish to moray eels and spotted drum. Seahorses are often seen here, clinging to coral with their tails. Look carefully and you might find a frogfish tucked into a sponge. At night, octopuses and tarpons patrol the reef, giving this place a whole new vibe.

This is also one of the best snorkel spots on Bonaire, with plenty of fish visible even in the shallowest areas.

Water conditions at Something Special

Water temperatures typically range between 27–29°C and visibility often exceeds 25 meters. The site is mostly sheltered from wind and waves, making it ideal for beginners and underwater photographers. Even if you’re short on time, this is the kind of site you can dive in under an hour and still come back raving.

Diving conditions

Depth ranges from 3 meters near shore to around 30 meters further out. Most of the action takes place between 8 and 20 meters. Use a dive light to uncover hidden creatures and details in the coral.

Sunwise’s snorkeling experience

Snorkelers love this site for its shallow reef, minimal wave action, and easy access. Swim along the edge of the reef and you’ll find yourself immersed in a colorful underwater world. Be sure to keep an eye on your surroundings—some divers may be just below.

The easy walk-in entry makes getting in and out of the water a breeze, even without fins.

Best time to dive at Something Special?

Morning dives offer clear light and calm conditions, especially ideal for macro photography. Midday dives bring out the vibrant colors in the reef. Evening dives? That’s when the night shift comes out—octopuses, tarpons, and hunting jacks.

There’s no beach at the site itself—just a rocky shoreline—but Coco Beach and Eden Beach are nearby if you want a post-dive swim or cocktail. Want something more local? Have a pastechi and a beer at a nearby snack.

Home Truths

A vacation at Villa Vista Blue offers sea views, tranquility and luxury comfort in a prime Bonaire location.

Welcome to one of the quirkiest names and most epic shore dives on the island: Oil Slick Leap. Don’t worry—there’s no oil and no slick. Just crystal-clear Caribbean Sea, a cliffy jump-in spot, and a vibrant reef teeming with marine life. If you’re ticking off Bonaire dive sites, this one’s an absolute must.

Where is Oil Slick Leap located?

Oil Slick Leap sits just a few minutes north of Kralendijk, along Bonaire’s scenic coastal road. Tucked between other popular Bonaire dive sites like Andrea I and 1000 Steps, it’s easy to reach and hard to forget. Don’t let the industrial-sounding name fool you—this is pure Caribbean diving magic.

How to reach the dive site?

Hop in your rental truck and head north out of Kralendijk. Look for the yellow stone marking “Oil Slick Leap.” There’s parking right at the site. The entry point is just a few steps from your car, making it one of the easiest shore dives logistics-wise.  No gentle beach stroll here. Just gear up, take a deep breath, and jump off the edge of a low limestone cliff into the warm water. Don’t want to jump? No problem. There’s a steel ladder for entry and exit. Either way, the shore dive here is a thrill.

What makes Oil Slick Leap so special?

First of all, the entry. It’s not your typical slow walk into the ocean. Here, you can leap straight off a low cliff or descend using a handy steel ladder. The reef starts close to shore and slopes gently into the blue, offering coral gardens and a wild mix of marine life. It’s also usually less crowded than some of the southern dive sites.

Bonaire Dive Sites: Oil Slick Leap

So, what’s the deal with the name?

Let’s clear this up first. “Oil Slick Leap” sounds messy, but it’s just a throwback to a plan for an oil terminal that never happened. Thankfully, nature won that round. Now, it’s just you, a rusty steel ladder, a 2-meter leap, and endless blue beneath.

Sunwise’s diving experience at Oil Slick Leap

Diving Oil Slick Leap always feels like a private show. The calm waters, epic visibility, and steady conditions make this a reliable spot year-round. At Sunwise, we often recommend it to our guests who want a fun, scenic, and uncomplicated dive.

Amazing marine life!

You’ll meet schools of parrotfish, cruising barracudas, camouflaged frogfish, and maybe even a curious sea turtle. Near the drop-off, keep an eye out for hunting jacks. And in the coral nooks? Seahorses love it there.

Water conditions at Oil Slick Leap? Nice and tropical!

Expect 27–29°C water temps and visibility up to 30 meters. There’s little current, making it perfect for relaxed dives or a long second tank. Oh, and the sunsets after your dive? Unreal.

Diving conditions

Depth ranges from 6 meters at the reef top to over 40 meters beyond the slope. Most of the action happens between 10 and 25 meters. Don’t forget to bring a dive light—even in daylight, it reveals hidden reef details.

Sunwise’s snorkeling experience

Yep, snorkelers love Oil Slick Leap too! Stick close to the cliff, where coral heads and reef fish come right up to the surface. The steel ladder makes getting in and out super easy—even without fins. Just be mindful of dive bubbles below!

The best tips for your visit

Best time to dive at Oil Slick Leap?

Morning dives are your best bet—calmer seas, fewer people, and stunning light on the reef. Plus, that’s when the fish are out and about. Around midday, the sun hits the coral just right, and colors really pop. Prefer something mysterious? Go late. Evening dives often come with bonus sightings: octopus, tarpon, maybe even a hunting jack.

What is nearby?

Oil Slick Leap is just a few minutes from the Caribbean Club and several other cozy northern rentals. It’s a quiet stretch of coast—no beach bars or crowds—but you’re only a short drive from dive shops, snack stops, and town life. After your dive, head south for a cold drink or a warm snack.

Beaches and snacks

No sandy beach at Oil Slick Leap—just rocks and reef. But that’s part of the charm. Want to chill after your dive? Cruise five minutes to Eden Beach or Coco Beach for a swim and a cocktail. Food trucks in town serve everything from lionfish burgers to local goat stew.

Cycling on Bonaire? That may sound like an adventure for daredevils, but trust us: the future looks promising! This Caribbean island, known for its peace and quiet, is bursting with potential to become a true cycling paradise. But… there is work to be done.

Why cycling on Bonaire is still challenging

If you’ve ever attempted to ride a bicycle down the Kaya Korona or Kaya Amsterdam, you know what we’re talking about. Cars whiz by, pedestrians are hardly to be seen, and cyclists? They can be counted on one hand. At times, the ratio of cars to cyclists is as high as 200 to 1. That’s bizarre, right?

And that while 75% of people say cycling on Bonaire is too dangerous. No wonder parents prefer to take their children to school by car. This keeps the roads crowded and the bicycle an underdog.

Cycling on Bonaire

Still… cycling on Bonaire has so many advantages

Did you know that more than half of Bonaireans live just a 15-minute walk or bike ride from stores, schools or work? Kralendijk is compact, flat and – yes – mostly sunny. No cold, no rain, no mountains. What’s holding us back?

Well, among other things, the infrastructure. Or rather, the lack thereof. Bike lanes are scarce. Street dogs sometimes show up unexpectedly. And bike shops? You can almost count them on your fingers.

Yet things are slowly changing. MBO and vmbo students can already sign up for bicycle repair classes. And that is not only good for cyclists, but also for people in wheelchairs. Everyone wins here.

Cycling on Bonaire? That must be different than in the Netherlands

We don’t need to reinvent the wheel, but we do need to do it differently. European models do not work one-to-one here. Cooperation with residents, policy makers and organizations is key. Think of Baislife and the Urban Cycling Institute. They really look at what does work on the island.

For example: the new mountain bike trails on Seru Largu. Or the “activity lane” at the airport, which hopefully will soon extend all the way to Playa. These kinds of projects make a difference.

Cycling on Seru Largu

Health, exercise and less traffic

Cycling on Bonaire is not only good for the environment. It is also crucial for health. With 60% of residents struggling with obesity or lack of exercise, just a little extra activity can have a big effect. Pedaling to the store or letting your kids bike themselves to school? It matters.

Vicious circle? Time to break it

Too many cars make the roads unsafe. As a result, people don’t get on their bikes. And because they don’t bike, the roads stay crowded. Recognizable? We can only break this circle together. By building safe bike lanes, by more visibility for cyclists, by more education, and by just getting on that bike!

Cycling on Bonaire

What is already happening now (and what you can do)

New mountain bike trails. Education in schools. And hopefully soon: many more safe trails for hiking and biking. But you, too, can help. By riding your bike more often. By making your voice heard when there are plans for infrastructure. And by just getting started. Because the more people bike on Bonaire, the more normal and safe it will become.
