Bonaire is the second-largest island in the Dutch Caribbean, boasting a plethora of ocean life to enjoy. Bonaire’s coral reef is envied as one of the healthiest in the Caribbean with tons of places to access from shore. The immense biodiversity of marine life found in the reefs of Bonaire makes it one of the best Caribbean islands for snorkeling. Just east to Aruba and Curacao, the most notable snorkeling is found on the west coast which is protected from the winds.

The majority of the snorkeling spots are narrow strips of coral reef and can be easily accessed from the shoreline. These snorkeling spots accessible by the beach are free and noticeably marked. The climate in Bonaire is consistent all year-round, making snorkeling a suitable activity whenever you visit. However, if you want more of the reef to yourself, then low-season (May to October) is best.
