Buddy Dive Active Adventure
While Bonaire is well known for its diving, there are many other
activities available ranging from active programs to more leisurely
pursuits. At the Dive and Activity Center they have the
information you'll need to discover the activity that is right for
you!
Mangrove Snorkel: In addition to a weekly boat snorkel
trip, Buddy Dive also offers several guided snorkeling tours. One is
along the edge of the mangrove forest, which serves as the "nursery" of
the ocean. Among the highlights are the three inch long Barracuda and
the bottom dwelling upside down jellyfish. Another equally appealing
tour involves a night snorkel amidst the famous Town Pier piling.
Abundantly decorated with sponges, these pilings serve as a colorful
background for their nocturnal inhabitants. Other tours combine
snorkeling with activities such as kayaking or cave exploration.
Sport Fishing:
Slowly but surely Bonaire is starting to become known as a sport-fishing
destination. There are several good outfits that can take care of the
most spoiled fisherman. Do not expect the seven story high flying bridge
boats, rather somewhat smaller boats, with crew that are even more eager
to catch fish than the paying customer is. Try it and you’ll find out
Bonaire has it all: Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado, and even great bone
fishing!
Kayaking:
This
is one of the most popular activities on Bonaire, and there are all
sorts of ways to experience it. Take a guided kayak tour through the
mangroves or to nearby Klein Bonaire. Combine the Klein trip with a
guided walk and exploration of the island, or a snorkel along the island
shallow terraces - a perfect place to spot turtles at rest! Or go for a
leisurely paddle and explore on your own as you tour the coast in front
of the resort.
Mountain Biking:
Miles and miles of trails have been laid on Bonaire specifically for
this sport. Literally around every hilltop there are different vistas to
enjoy. With such a wide variety of routes to choose from, we're sure to
be able to put together a tour that best suits your interest and fitness
level. And although there's not much traffic on Bonaire to begin
with, this sport really allows you to get away from it all!
Windsurfing:
The trade winds on Bonaire are
legendary, providing for the most stable winds in the world and making
the nearby area of Lac Bay famous as a top-notch wind surf destination.
We schedule weekly introductory classes with one of the local outfitters
at Lac for those with limited or no experience in the sport. So if you
have ever thought of trying, now is your chance. Don't miss it!
Parasailing: See beautiful Bonaire from a bird’s view! The
Island colors come alive while you float in the sky looking for turtles
and dolphins playing in the waves. From a couple of feet to 1200 feet,
you decide how high you want to go. It’s an experience you don’t want to
miss!
Half day or full day charters: Check out whole Bonaire and
Klein Bonaire from the seaside, do some parasailing and other
activities. This luxurious charter gives you the perfect opportunity to
spend your time on the water between dolphins and flying fish.
Boat snorkel to Klein Bonaire: A dedicated boat to Klein
Bonaire is the best way to discover the shallow reefs around this
beautiful Island. Here one of our guides will show you around on one of
the reefs.
Sunset Cruise: Taste paradise and watch the overwhelming sunset
on our cruise. We can create an unforgettable trip for your group with
drinks, snacks or even a whole barbeque.
Cave Exploration:
Bonaire has many cave systems,
some are dry and others have lakes and tunnels. Here at Buddy Dive we
offer you a unique opportunity to explore these ancient wonders with
their majestic stalactites and stalagmites. We even offer you the chance
to snorkel underground in the crystal clear water housed within.
Good Old Rest &
Relaxation: If total relaxation is what
you had in mind, you'll have plenty of time to bask in the sun, swing in
a hammock and maybe enjoy a good book. We have a wide selection of books
available in our Dive and Activity Center in many different languages.
Help yourself to our library and please feel free to leave your books or
magazines when you are finished with them for our future guests (and
staff!) to enjoy. |
