Experience Details*
Head to a resort on Bonaire’s beautiful west coast to relax and recharge.
Sip a refreshing fruit juice (or how about a cool rum punch?) while you receive a warm welcome at the Bonaire Beach Club, just outside Kralendijk. Ease into the contemporary, relaxed environment and do as much or as little as you like.
Fancy a dip? Choose between the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea or the resort’s inviting swimming pool. Keen to chill out? Lie back on a lounger and soak up the sun or take a stroll in the shade of the palms on the soft sands of the bay. When it’s time for a pick-me-up, you could treat yourself to a drink or lunch from the beach bar or restaurant. The choices are all yours.

Essential information
This tour involves limited walking; however guests must be able to negotiate steps onto and off the coach or minibus. There are also steps to negotiate within the Beach Club and varying terrain. The beach is man-made and includes sand, asphalt and wooden decking. Entry into the sea is via a metal ladder; guests must be competent swimmers. This tour is unguided; however a local company representative will accompany the tour. One welcome drink is included. Additional refreshments are available for purchase if required. Please remember to wear swimwear, take a towel and sunscreen. There is limited shade on the beach; umbrellas are not available. Water shoes are recommended due to the coral stone in the sea and on the beach. The Beach Club is not exclusive to P&O Cruises and may become busy. There may be independent suppliers on the beach that offer watersports, these are provided by parties unconnected to P&O Cruises.
ACTIVITY EXCURSIONS, You and all those in your party should be aware that, in undertaking activity excursions, you will be involved in a degree of physical exertion and/or activity such as hiking, biking, snorkelling, kayaking, diving etc. By booking the excursion you confirm that you and all those in your party are in good physical and mental condition, with no history of conditions such as seizures, dizziness, fainting, heart condition, respiratory problems or back/neck problems (by way of example only). You should also ensure that no one in your party is taking medicine that carries a warning about impairment of physical or mental abilities. If you are pregnant this type of excursion may not be appropriate for you. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit and well enough to take part in the activities booked and you are reminded to take care for your own safety. Because of the risks associated with activity excursions, you may be asked by the excursion provider to sign a document which may affect or limit the excursion provider’s liability. Comfortable flat walking shoes are recommended.
BEACH/WATER RELATED EXCURSIONS, For any excursion involving water, passengers are reminded to exercise particular care. Alcohol and eating a full meal should be avoided before swimming. If buoyancy aids are provided for an activity they must be worn at all times. You should bear in mind that the sea is unpredictable. Lifeguards are unlikely to be present and there may not be a flag system to indicate whether or not it is safe to go in the water. In addition, beach activities may not be supervised or accompanied and so you should take care to satisfy yourself as to the safety of the beach and/or the sea at the time of your excursion. Please exercise caution when entering the sea as the seabed and aquatic environment is capable of springing surprises and we have not inspected the beach or seabed for its safety. Children must be supervised by you at all times near water. All activities on the beach, water and in the sea are undertaken at your own risk. You’ll need to take swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and flat shoes that can be worn in the water.
SCUBA DIVING, All passengers wishing to participate in a certified dive tour must hold a PADI open water scuba certification or BSAC Ocean Diver certification. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate divers with either a PADI Junior Open Water or a PADI Scuba Dive rating due to the depth limitations imposed by these qualifications. In line with the recommendations by the sports-diving industry, we strongly recommend that divers undertake a refresher course if they have not been diving within the last six months. You must be aged 15 or over, carry your dive certification card with you and we recommend that you carry your diving log or proof that you’ve recently completed a refresher course. If you are a certified diver, but are unable to meet our requirements we recommend taking the Discover Scuba excursion as an alternative. For Discover Scuba courses you don’t need any scuba experience but you must be 15 or over and be able to swim. You’ll also need to complete a medical/liability consent form before you go - but if you suffer from asthma, diabetes, heart problems or other medical conditions you won’t be able to take part.
