Picture a tiny island in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Bestow upon it, a vibrant coral reef spanning its entire length – just a couple hundred feet away from shore.
Add a deserted beach for kiteboarding. Let’s make those winds blow offshore, to make things exciting. And how about a separate bay just for windsurfing? Some flat, shallow water for that would be lovely.
Throw in some unique, locally distilled spirits for good measure. And for the weather – warm, breezy afternoons with pleasant evenings sounds nice. Sound like paradise? That’s just what life is like on Bonaire.

The underwater photography gear is a lot to carry, but I certainly wouldn’t want to lose these beautiful sights to my very ephemeral memory.
Bonaire’s only shipwreck – the Hilma Hooker.
