You explore a park that covers almost one fifth of Bonaire, more than enough to keep you busy for a full day. Washington and Slagbaai were once plantations, and you can still see traces of that past in old buildings and ruins. Today nature has taken over, offering a wide range of landscapes where you come face to face with flamingos, parakeets, pelicans, iguanas, and other wildlife. With binoculars you see them up close.<\/p>\n
The route begins along the untamed east coast, where the raw power of the sea is on full display. You see deeply carved bays, towering cliffs, and barren plains. In this dramatic landscape, the Suplado Blowhole creates a spectacular show as water shoots high into the air. At the lighthouse on Seru Bentana, a sweeping view marks your farewell to the wild sea.<\/p>\n
On the calmer west coast you find green valleys, photogenic bays, sandy beaches, and inland lakes filled with flamingos and other waterbirds. Here you enjoy a full lunch by the water. The day ends at the picturesque Boka Slagbaai, once the harbor of the Slagbaai plantation. In the shade of one of the many trees, we raise a glass to an unforgettable day. The return journey takes you through the rolling green hills of Bonaire\u2019s countryside.<\/p>\n
Walking gives you an even deeper connection with the park\u2019s landscapes and wildlife. The Lagadishi Trail (2.5 mi \/ 4 km) is one of the most diverse hikes on the island. It leads you through striking cactus forests and over bare coastal plains. Along the way you encounter traces of the past, a dramatic blowhole, a bay with sand dunes, and a mangrove area. The trail ends with a view over Sali\u00f1a Matijs, where large flocks of flamingos gather.<\/p>\n
At midday, Playa Wayaka is the perfect place to cool off. With your guide you discover the best spots on the reef, swimming past schools of colorful fish, exploring diverse coral formations, and uncovering hidden corners of the reef, all away from the crowds. While you explore, your guide captures your snorkeling adventure on camera.<\/p>\n
