Bonaire | Destination overview
Sunny Bonaire is a Dutch treat featuring photo, sports and sightseeing opportunities galore. Its picturesque capital with the improbable name of Kralendjik has a rich Dutch heritage and a rebuilt "downtown" that is a must-see. Dutch is the official language but not to worry. English is commonly spoken, also Spanish (the island is just north of the Venezuelan mainland) and Papiamento, a wild mixture of Dutch, Spanish, English and only God knows.
