Special Notes

Water shoes are highly recommended as the sand contains some sharp coral stones. It should be noted that the waters around the island are an official marine park. Bonaire National Marine Park, established in 1979 has the mission to protect and manage the island's natural resources. Corals, dead or alive are protected and for this environmental reason a containment wall protects the reef from the beach sand. Bonaire's beaches are not long stretches of white sand like one would encounter in Aruba. The tropical beach area is pleasant, though small. There is limited shade - an extended roof over the bar, sun canopies and palm trees provide some shade. A containment wall is being constructed for environmental reasons to protect the reef. Wear a swimsuit and bring adequate sun protection. Swimming is at your own risk. There is no life guard. The property may offer certain sport activities which are not endorsed by Princess Cruises. Bring small bills to purchase beverages, food, souvenirs or rentals. Bring water shoes and a towel, wear a swimsuit and adequate sun protection. Guests with walking difficulties should not book this tour.
