I need help from someone who is familiar with Bonaire pls

[anamarieus]

We are in Bonaire november 4 from 7am - 5pm

 

This is a list of what I would like to do:

 

• See Salt Pans (i know they just drive by them)
  
• The pink ocean
  
• The pink Flamingos
  
• I want to snorkel a good amount of time as well
  

Is this possible. Please help thank you. :)

The salt flats and the flamingos are on complete opposite sides of the island. There are flamingos on the south end near the salt flats but you can't get anywhere close to them. Lake Gotomeer in the north is where you can get really close to them. You do pass some really great swimming/snorkeling beaches between so you should consider renting a car for the day. You can easily do all of that in the time you have.

Hi Paul ~ hope you see this. I took a look at Jibe City which you recommended on another thread.

 

I assume you rent the vehicle right at the pier. We are only there on Serenade in November until 2 pm. Still enough time to take a tour with a stop or two?

Hi Emmy. :) I wasn't there on a cruise. It was for work. I rented the car at the airport. I don't know where all the rental car places are, but I know there's a Hertz at the Divi Flamingo Hotel, which is only a couple blocks from the pier.

 

2pm??!! That sucks! You'll still have time if you start early, but no way will you be able to see the whole island, at least, with having time to stop and enjoy certain spots.

Thanks Paul..yes 2pm which in reality is 1:30 pm sucks. We walked to some hotel from the pier and snorkeled and had some beach time. Guess that will have to be on the agenda again. Hope all is well :)

Not really. There is some pretty good shopping right there and a few nice bars/restaurants. But the good stuff is not at the pier.
