Bonaire

Bonaire car rental

Located amid the stunning Caribbean Sea, Bonaire is frequented by Canadians year-round. There are beautiful beaches, captivating salt flats and a vast array of wildlife that is amazing to watch. The tropical climate ensures that temperatures stick at an even 27 degrees Celsius most of the time, and although there is a ‘rainy’ season, the showers are welcome breaks from the hot sun.

Direct flights are available from the US, so a connecting flight will be needed for Canadian visitors. Compare car rental while you’re in Canada, as the prices can fluctuate depending on whether cruise ships are stopping by the island. Car rental is a great way to get around the island without relying on the old buses and taxis.

Tourists’ favorites

Depending on your energy levels, there are lots of things to do in Bonaire. From surfing, kiteboarding, windsurfing or scuba diving to mountain biking and rock climbing, there is plenty to keep your heart rate going. Visiting the salt flats is another great activity on the island, as the white ‘mountains’ are very odd-looking.

For a more relaxing time, the beaches offer the perfect base for some sunbathing and swimming, and fascinating wildlife tours to see pink flamingos or going bird watching are available. Meanwhile, great restaurants with beautiful coastal views are a delight at sunset and because there are endless fresh seafood dishes on the menus, it’s churlish not to try them out.

Best time to stay

Thanks to the tropical marine climate, any time of year is good for Canadian travelers to head to Bonaire. It’s wise to stock up on a high SPF cream and remember to drink lots of water to stay hydrated. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on when the cruise liners are arriving, as businesses can raise the prices for the impending guests to the island, and that can have an effect on your holiday budget.
