What to Do on Bonaire on a Cruise

So your in port on the Bonaire and wondering how you should spend you day. Here's how I spent one day in Bonaire:

One Day on Bonaire:

Here's a slideshow of our day on Bonaire. Enjoy!

After renting our scooter, we did headed off to see as much as we could in one day. Here's what we did:

1. 1,000 Steps Beach - Cool beach filled with a coral (?) shore. It is named 1,000 steps beach because once the divers are done for the day, it feels like there are 1,000 steps to carry their gear up. We saw some beautiful cacti along the stairs as well as a huge lizard!
2. National Park delighted us with incredibly vibrant birds that were hard to capture on camera because they were fluttering around.
3. Lake Gotomeer where we saw Flamingoes from afar. Wish we could have gotten closer, but it was very cool to see so many just out on the lake! 
4. Cadushy Distillery where they make liquor from cactus! They make 6 flavored varieties in addition to other liquors. Personal favorites were the original Cadushy Liqueur, the Spices of Saba Liqueur, and the Gold of Statia varieties. I purchased small bottles to take home that are carry on approved. If you have a checked bag get a big bottle its a much better deal! You can enjoy a drink of the day at this distillery and sample all varieties. They also have chocolate rum balls. There is a nice little explanation of what all they do there and how they make the products and a great seating area to hang out and enjoy a cocktail. I loved this distillery. I would make a point to visit again if I am ever on Bonaire in the future. 
5. We saw some beautiful landscapes with wild goats after leaving the distillery.
6. Jibe City - windsurf center, beach, cool beachbar with great beer and grilled cheese
7. Historic Slave huts and Lighthouse
8. Salt Flats
9. Back to port just in time! 

Scooters Bonaire

We rented from Scooters Bonaire which was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and respectful. Their scooters were new and in great condition, top quality and an excellent value. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! 

This Day Overall?

One of my favorites of the trip, hand down! I absolutely loved this island. There was such beauty everywhere in the landscapes and wildlife. I would jump at an opportunity to return and explore more, relax on some beaches and who knows? maybe even try windsurfing. ;) 

Some Other Ideas:

• Segway Bonaire's Jibe City Hangout tour looks amazing!
• Washikemba Horse Ranch

About This Cruise:

I booked a veranda room on the Celebrity Eclipse Exotic Southern Caribbean cruise through Best Price Cruises. They had the best price/OBC at the time of booking and they were very responsive to any questions I had. I would book through them again!
