Adventures on Land

V isitors to Bonaire spend most of their time in the water, but there's

plenty to do on land. Even if you think you're not a birdwatcher or na-
ture lover, consider joining a group tour led by an expert who will point out
fascinating creatures and plants.

Birdwatching & Nature Hikes
About 190 different bird species live or nest here, including
parrots and flamingos. Local naturalist Jerry Ligon does a
good job of showing you a vast assortment of the most inter-
esting types during a trip through the Washington-Slagbaai
National Park and other wilderness areas. Contact him at:
