Please get in touch with Mandy at mandy@bespokejourneys.com for available activities and to book all aspects of this trip.
Q. I haven't done shore diving before, how does it work?
A - With shore diving you drive from each dive site in your rental vehicle with all the gear you need. You can dive multiple times a day. It is at your pace and even better, it’s on your schedule. Most dive centers will allow you to take 2 tanks, then come back to drop off the empty tanks, and pick up new ones.
You can dive as many times as you like, following those rules. You can’t, for example, take 4 tanks each, they will not normally allow that. This is too many tanks in a vehicle and they need to be back so they can be refilled and used again.
Q - I want to learn to dive. Is this possible on this trip?
A - Yes, we can help you learn to dive. Please get in touch with Mandy at mandy@bespokejourneys.com to discuss your options. We will adjust your package to be a learn to dive package instead of what is offered, very easy to do.
Q - My partner doesn’t dive. What can they do while I’m away diving?
A - Bonaire has many activities for visitors, for example you can visit Lac Bay for Windsurfing or any beach activity, kayaking etc. Kite City for Kite Surfing, visit the Donkey Sanctuary, 4wd tour around Washington Slaagbai National Park, land sailing (like a boat but on land), buggy tours, rent a golf cart and self drive, you can go shopping downtown, and there are amazing restaurants.
Q - What kind of food do the supermarkets stock?
A - Just like the USA, Bonaire has normal grocery stores, 2 main ones and then a few smaller ones. They have everything. You can get wine and beer from supermarkets, spirits from a separate store.
Q. What kind of restaurants are there on Bonaire?
A - Dining options range from fast food through to expensive dining, and cater for all type of cuisine. If you're after chain restaurants there are only two, KFC and Subway.
