Bonaire, part of the Dutch Caribbean, is celebrated for its exceptional scuba diving and snorkeling, thanks to its protected marine park which surrounds the island. With a dry climate, Bonaire doesn't have the lush vegetation of its neighbors but makes up for it with its clear waters and colorful coral reefs. Kralendijk, the capital, is a small, picturesque town with Dutch colonial architecture. The island's economy focuses on tourism, salt production, and fishing.
