Biking
Take a bike out to the desert, over to the coast, or up a mini-
mountain to see Bonaire from a whole new angle. Most of the
coastal roads are flat and have little traffic, so even inexperi-
enced bikers can enjoy the ride. Advanced riders can go off-
road for more adventure. Dutch road bikes and mountain
bikes rent for about $15 per day. Guided tours are priced at around $40 for
a half-day and $65 for a full day. Some of the resorts have bikes and you can
also rent from these Kralendijk shops:

Shopping
Shopping is great fun on Bonaire. You won't find impressive
bargains on luxury imports, but you can use up your $600
duty-free allowance on scuba gear, souvenir clothing,
beachwear, marine-theme jewelry, and local arts. Most of
the boutiques and jewelry stores are on Kaya Grandi in
