Bonaire is the Westernmost island of the ABC islands archipelago and part of the Netherlands Antilles. The official languages are Papiamento and Dutch (although in Bonaire the people regularly speak English or Spanish) with a population of around 20,000 total inhabitants and the US Dollar as the official currency. Walk around, snorkel, or read your favorite book on the picturesque beaches of Salt Pier and Bari Reef. Many Adventure Life cruises through Bonaire visit Kralendijk due to its majestic pink flamingos, unique divi-divi trees, and the best diving experience in the Caribbean! Cruise the Caribbean on a small ship cruise and reap the benefits of being able to access smaller reefs, coves, and beaches.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
