Apart from being an amazing windsurf location Bonaire also offer world class diving and so makes for an ideal windsurf / dive combination holiday.

Lac Bay The windsurfing in Bonaire takes place at Lac Bay, a large bay with constant cross onshore and cross shore winds, over flat crystal clear water.

The wind in Bonaire is very reliable with consistent trade winds that blow all year. The wind peaks between May to July and is at its lowest in October and November. The rest of the year offers good, consistent conditions.

Lac Bay is ideally suited for beginners or intermediates wishing to work on their gybes and technique, but also for the more advanced freestyle moves. This is an awesome location for the purist windsurfing holiday. The destination also plays host to the PWA world tour, as a Freestyle competition location, attracting the best sailors in the world.

Approximately 50% of the annual visitors to Bonaire are drawn by the scuba diving but there are also many attractions for the non-divers. A number of activities are available, from hiking and sightseeing in the enormous Washington-Slagbaai National Park at the north-western end of the island, to shopping, snorkelling and bird watching.

There is very limited kitesurfing on Bonaire due to local bureaucracy: very unfortunate. It is therefore not permitted in Lac Bay but only at 'Pink Beach,' a nice spot but with off shore wind. There is no fixed school but supervised kitesurfing is available - please ask at the windsurf school (Jibe City) for details.

Bonaire is generally a very 'laid back' resort and so there is no major nightlife. There are some nice restaurants, a couple of good bars but no nightclubs. Evenings are best spent over a good meal and a few drinks.

All visitors must have a valid passport that does not expire for at least 6 month and return ticket. UK passport holder do not require a visa.

There are no compulsory inoculations if travelling from the UK but we recommend to check with your GP for the latest advice.
