Marine Park
Bonaire’s Marine Park is centred on a spectacular coral reef, which is maintained and protected throughout the year by marine experts.

Salt flats
The salt flats change colour from breathtaking fuchsia to a subtle pink, according to fluctuations in the resident algae population. The view is astonishing.

Witte Pan huts
The bright white stucco huts on Witte Pan were once inhabited by the salt workers until the abolition of slavery in 1863. The eerily small holes on their frontage served as doors, which the slaves would crawl through at night.

Rincón
Rincón, Bonaire’s oldest village, echoes Bonaire’s darker past. It used to house slaves who worked on the salt flats. Nowadays there are bars serving cool drinks beneath brightly coloured roofs.

Bonaire Museum
Located just out of Kralendijk centre in a restored 1885 plantation mansion, Bonaire Museum displays artefacts depicting the history of cultures on the island, from the Caiquetio Indians and the Spanish to modern times, as well as an impressive collection of seashells.

Flamingos
Bonnaire is renowned for its flamingo population, though many of them inhabit the protected southern areas of the island. An easier place to spot them is the beautiful lagoon of Goto Meer.

Bonaire Donkey Sanctuary
The sanctuary is a not-for-profit organisation set up to take care of donkeys abandoned when the invention of new technology meant they were no longer needed to work the salt pans. Visitors are encouraged to feed and help care for the animals.

Pink Beach
Pink Beach is one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches. It gets its pink tinge, most obvious at sunset, from bits of pink coral in the sand. There are no facilities.
