Outdoor enthusiasts will find many things to do on this pristine island, including mountain biking over 300 kilometers of trails with varied terrain.
Bird watching is another popular pastime on Bonaire, which is home to 170 species of birds. Flamingoes are its most famous and can number as many as 15,000 during mating season.
