This is my eighth year visiting Bonaire and I always go to the Saltshop. The owner is very personable and takes pride in running a stylish clean shop. The different salts are the perfect gift plus it's made on Bonaire. Don't miss one of the best shops on the island!

Came off of a cruise ship in Bonaire on my birthday day for a walk around town. We came across this brilliant shop. I usually cannot wear toe post shoes, as I find them really uncomfortable, however, after these had been demonstrated to me and I had worn them around the shop, I found them so comfortable that I brought a set with two very different types of laces. I wore them for the rest of my cruise and received many compliments. Still happy with them on our return home

Nu Kua Pottery is a one-women working studio with all pottery made on site by local artist Monique. The studio is situated in Nord Salina, Kralendijk, Bonaire. Easily found only 1 minute off the main road to Rincon. Come and watch Monique create her unique, one of a kind and colorful work. Artist statement: Pottery to me is a beautiful process where earth, water, air and fire come together when I create a piece with love, to use and warm your heart. This truly is where I am completely happy, and I hope that reflects in my work. I know, I am blessed and my gratitude for people around me who have always supported me is huge! I do hope you enjoy your piece of pottery, a piece of Mother Earth and a little love from me. Happy Creating Monique

We discovered this place unexpectedly while scootering back to Kralendijk from Rincón. We were greeted warmly by Monique who made us feel welcome - and who was happy to provide background on her shop, her craft and the items on display. Interesting and original pieces of all types, sizes and price points. (We always try to bring back a pair of coffee mugs from each trip, so this was the place for us!)

Dive site that requires a local divemaster with Harbor Master's permission.
Reviewed By Tamaragw - The Netherlands, null
When there is no boat, go there for a great dive or snorkel experience. It is like stepping into an aquarium. In the shallows you will be able to see turttle's feeding on the see grass totally ignoring you while grassing. You will be able to see big tarpons, small schools of reef squid, green murray, barracuda and lot's of more nice fish. Easy to navigate

Great place to spot exotic sealife.
Reviewed By U8493WYmarkb - Harrisburg, United States
Second year in a row visiting the site. Shore entry is pretty easy. Bari Reef is well known for having a great diversity of marine species. We used it as a drift dive down to Eden Beach.

Mangroves and a small fishing village on the eastern part of the island.
Reviewed By selmaweisbein - Coral Gables, United States
we took a cab there from port terminal and told cab driver to come back to get us 3 hours later so we could go back to the ship. we were 12 people being that some were toddlers. great beach , wonderful sand and there is a nice bar, and facilities. no wifi. saw lots for dutch tourists there and overall was a great beach club to hang out as a private shore excursion. I think price for cab was per person.

On Bonaire for a month of diving and snorkeling. My Olympus TG5 crapped out during the first week. Visited Tim at Fisheye, and he set me up with a much better camera and housing. He gave me lots of advice, which was great. I'm very happy but was scared to check what I could have paid in the US, figured I had paid for the convenience. Turns out, Amazon would have only been about $50 cheaper. You just can't get better than Fisheye!

This is a delightful store with so much to see!! The colours are amazing and make choosing your jewelry difficult as you want it all. All the jewelry is hand made and is dichroic glass. This means it has a multi layer coating placed on the glass by using a highly technical vacuum. When in the store you can pop into the back and watch the ladies/men at work. They are very helpful and informative. The prices are reasonable.

Reviewed By reedmangreg - Chicago, United States
It seems like every island has that one underrated spot or simply one that does not attract the masses and yet provides something amazing that people miss out on :) Great vistas and although not personally tested I bet an amazing sunrise and sunset spot - it's high, providing all around the island view including open ocean to the east and Klein Bonaire to the west. TIP: easy drive from either Kralendijk or Rincon, passenger car will get you here as it's all paved road TIP: there is also a spot with 2 white benches (recently renovated it appeared) that have also a great view and provide even more relaxation, almost adjacent to the monument as you go down the hill
