🏖️ Resort Overview

Your home base for this trip is a beautiful oceanfront resort, Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire.

  • Swim with a View
    Take a refreshing dip in the newly renovated pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea, or unwind on the sunbeds at the water’s edge. When you’re ready for salt water, step right onto the private beach and slip into the sea for a snorkel or a dive.

  • Private Beach
    The resort’s private beach is ideal for relaxing between dives. Explore coral reefs just offshore, or simply enjoy the sun and sea breeze from a complimentary lounger.

  • Entertainment
    After sunset, enjoy live music in the restaurant or try your luck at the on-site casino.

🤿 Diving in Bonaire

An optional morning two-tank boat dive package can be added to your reservation for twelve boat dives across six days.

OR you can spend your days at your own pace, exploring the house reefs or any of Bonaire's shoreline sites that catch your interest.

Your stay includes unlimited shore diving with easy access to Bonaire’s famed house reef, Eighteen Palms — a top dive site known for its easy entry and abundant marine life.

🪸 Beyond the House Reef

Beyond the house reef, explore Bonaire’s legendary shore dives marked by yellow stones along the coast. You can create your own dive adventure:

  • visit Bonaire’s most iconic sites

  • plan your route by following the island’s famous food trucks as landmarks

  • or discover new favorites along the way


Note

 A truck is necessary to reach shore dive sites beyond the house reef. Truck rentals are not included in this trip package. (See section below about truck rental )
