Cruise 2025 Caribbean

Just outside the city, it’s clear that Bonaire is primarily a nature island. The bus follows the coast along a narrow asphalt road. The bays we pass have crystal blue seawater. The vegetation consists of shrubs and cacti. A parrot perches on one of the cacti — remarkable how the bird isn’t bothered by the sharp spines. We pass "Thousand Steps", a descent to the shore with beautiful diving opportunities. The steps actually only number 68. There is much colorful coral around Bonaire. The island is popular with divers and snorkelers. Expensive apartments line the coast. Many foreigners buy houses here as investments and only stay for a few weeks a year.
