It's not overly populated and that means...no crowds!

Each person adds to the amazing Bonairian culture and experience of traveling.

The people of Bonaire have many of the same rules we have here in the states, but there a few small differences.

First of all, the legal age for consuming alcoholic beverages is 18 years old unlike the Unites States’ 21 years old.

The gambling age in Bonaire is 21 years old unlike the Unites States’ 18 years old. These are the basic age limitations that a traveler will encounter while in Bonaire.

This works for me since I am well over 21!

In Bonaire there is not really any dress code, just common sense. When you are downtown, you cannot wear beach wear; you must wear casual clothing. The people of Bonaire know you are here to enjoy the beach and water and the dress code reflects that.

Just no walking around town in just your bathing suit, that's pushing it!
