Bonaire 2016 Photos

Back to All Photos

In the summer of 2016, our family and a few friends went on vacation to Bonaire, a Dutch special municipality in the Caribbean, well known for excellent shore diving sites, but with plenty of other adventurous activities. We were there for a week, and as you can see from the photos below, we kept pretty busy. We had several digital cameras with us - a Canon XSi, a Canon T2i, a waterproof Canon D10, a GoPro4, and each of our iPhones. Credit for the photos is shared between all of us.

If you're planning a trip to Bonaire, I can't recommend highly enough that you go see the caves. We went with Flow Bonaire, who I highly endorse. You can read my review on Trip Advisor.
