BONAIRE’S CAVES

Bonaire has an interesting cave system, consisting of about 400 caves. Visiting these
caves will be a unique, memorable experience. Access may require a bit of manouvering,
down ladders and over rocks but the destination will be well worth the effort. The trek
may be tiring and a bit difficult at times so wear sturdy hiking shoes. Be prepared
to encounter some bats along the way, surrounded by centuries-old stalactites and
stalagmites which adds to the overall adrenalin-pumping cave adventure.
In the “wet” cave, a certified guide will tell you how to get to that special area where
the adventurous can swim and snorkel. Such fun!
