Klein Bonaire ( the word Klein in Dutch is small ) is a small uninhabited island just off the coast . It one of the last Carribean islands that have been spared from development. It is part of the Marine Preserve and protected from over tourism and reef degradation. We took a water taxi over, the first one of the day and arrived to an empty pristine island, truly a bit of paradise . The turquoise waters and reefs were teeming with healthy corals and marine life. The island had no facilities, only a couple of small roofed picnic spots with benches to escape the equatorial sun. The island has a long beautiful sand beach which are surprisingly rare on these coral islands. We spent a couple of hours floating over the coral gardens in 30 feet of crystal clear water mesmerized by the schools of fish and vibrant corals, a memorable experience. We plan on going back before leave head home.
