点评:We didn't actually set foot on Klein Bonaire having booked a catamaran snorkel tour that got us in the water near the island but not actually on shore. The beach looks lovely and is about the only large beach on Bonaire, so if that's what you are after take the water taxi over and enjoy.
While the catamaran tour was fantastic with great guides if we come back to Bonaire we will skip the tour and take the water taxi over to give ourselves unlimited snorkel time and some beach time too.
We were there Easter week so the beach and surrounding water were pretty crowded but there was still easily enough room for everyone.
I will say that while it still deserves 5 stars it didn't live up to the hype. Klein Bonaire wasn't my favorite snorkeling spot on the island and has lots of coral bleaching evident even more than other snorkeling sites we experienced on the northwestern shore of the island.
The water around the island is unique, since the island itself barely gets out of the sea you expect the surrounding water to be shallow, but not too far off shore it drops precipitously into the depths and our guide said it got over 1000 feet deep before getting back to the main island, which I still find hard to believe.
We did see the largest numbers of marine life here including a huge school of blue tang that must have numbered several hundred and the only barracuda I saw on the trip.
翻译:我们实际上并没有踏上小博奈尔岛(Klein Bonaire),因为我们预订了一个双体船浮潜之旅,虽然可以下水到岛屿附近的水域,但并没有真正上岸。那里的海滩看起来很漂亮,而且几乎是博奈尔岛上唯一的大型海滩,所以如果您也想体验海滩,可以乘坐水上出租车前往。
虽然双体船之旅非常棒,导游也很专业,但如果我们再次来到博奈尔岛,我们会放弃这次旅行,直接乘坐水上出租车前往,这样我们就可以拥有无限的浮潜时间和一些海滩休闲时间。
我们是在复活节那周去的,所以海滩和周围的水域相当拥挤,但仍然有足够的空间容纳所有人。
我必须说,虽然它仍然值得五星好评,但并没有达到人们的预期。小博奈尔岛并不是我最喜欢的浮潜地点,而且珊瑚白化现象非常明显,甚至比我们在岛屿西北海岸体验过的其他浮潜点还要严重。
岛屿周围的水域非常独特。由于岛屿本身几乎完全被海水淹没,你可能会认为周围的水域会很浅,但实际上,离岸不远的地方水深就骤然下降,我们的向导说,在回到主岛之前,水深超过1000英尺(约305米),我至今仍然难以置信。
我们在这里看到了数量最多的海洋生物,包括一大群蓝吊鱼,数量估计有几百条,还有我此行唯一看到的梭鱼。
