Bonaire on Christmas day

[KittyCatRya]

Does anyone have recent experience with Bonaire on Christmas day? Is anything open? Are tours available? We are booked for 2024.

 

Thanks!

Hi, we live on Bonaire.  The Christmas season starts early here, with the arrival of Sanikolas in late November.  He stays on the island for two weeks before leaving gifts in early December. There are also parades and shopping nights in the weeks prior to Christmas.   Christmas Day itself is more of a private celebration with families visiting, attending services and gathering for holiday meals.   Shops will be closed.   The cruise ship will still run tours that day, and hotel restaurants will be open to provide meals for their guests, but that’s about it.  The scenery is beautiful here, and our clear, warm water is always available, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy your visit.   All the best, Kate
