s far as the best nightlife in Bonaire is concerned, the

A beach resorts are often the places to be. On any given

night, you might expect to see a live band playing at one of
the resorts, and more often than not, these concerts are adver-
tised. Captain Don’s Habitat, which is one of the most popu-
lar dive resorts on the island, offers live music on weekends,
for example. This resort also offers popular underwater slide
shows on Friday nights.

T he underwater slide shows that some of the Bonaire re-
sorts put on at night are extremely popular with visitors,
especially those who are diving enthusiasts. Captain Don’s
Habitat puts on some of the best shows, but there are other
options worth considering. If you’d rather be in the water, the
diving doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down. When
night diving in Bonaire, fish are often attracted to the lights,
which allows for some interesting, up-close viewing.

B onaire nightlife might not be as lively as the nightlife on
some of the other Caribbean islands, but that’s part of the
island’s charm. This is a laid-back destination where enjoying
the great outdoors is the main priority. Eco-adventures are
what the tourists come for, and often times, there just isn’t
enough energy at the end of the day for going to bars or clubs.
