Route ideas and easy day plans from Delfins
Delfins sits on the stunning southwest coast of Bonaire—so you’re already in prime position to begin.
Coastal cruise from the resort (any day, any time)
- Roll out from the resort and follow the shoreline for sea views and photo stops.
- Make it a mellow loop: ride until you’re ready to turn back, then return for a swim at the private beach.
- Pair it with lunch or dinner at Club Tropicana Beach Brasserie or BBQ at the Beach by the water.
Town vibes in Kralendijk (casual half‑day)
- Head to Kralendijk, the island’s main town, for a relaxed walk, window‑shopping, and a coffee break.
- Scooters shine here for easy parking and quick stops; the Jimny is great if you’re continuing onward afterward.
Nature day by car (full day)
- Plan a nature‑forward itinerary that includes time outdoors. If you’ll enter Bonaire’s waters to snorkel or dive during your day, note there is a $40 USD nature fee payable to STINAPA. You can conveniently pay this at Delfins’ on‑site dive school, Dive Friends Bonaire.
- Keep the Jimny handy for a flexible schedule and comfortable breaks between stops.
Dive‑friendly days from Delfins
- Bonaire is the shore diving capital of the world, and Delfins puts diving at your doorstep.
- Arrange everything you need through Dive Friends Bonaire—right at the resort—for rentals, tank exchange, guided boat dives, and courses.
- Prefer to stay close? Step off the pier or beach to explore the Delfins house reef, known for calm, crystal‑clear water and vibrant marine life like turtles and parrotfish.
Pro tip: Whether you’re diving or not, the Jimny makes multi‑stop days easier. If you’re sticking to nearby beaches and cafés, a scooter keeps it ultra‑simple.
Make it a perfect day: Food, wellness, and downtime
- Start strong: Join morning yoga by the sea or an energizing Aqua Fitness session to wake up body and mind.
- Midday reset: Grab a drink at Café Koló on Delfins Boulevard, or cool off with a swim at the resort’s private beach.
- Evening ease: Enjoy cocktails by the sea at Club Tropicana or savor BBQ dishes cooked on the Big Green Egg at BBQ at the Beach—no reservation needed.
- Extra indulgence: Book a massage at the Beach Spa and turn your ride day into a full wellness ritual.
Resort guests can also relax in beach cabanas along the shore. External guests can easily book a cabana online via the Brass Boer website.

- Plan your stops: Sketch a light itinerary with a few must‑see points and a meal break.
- Dress smart: Secure footwear for scooters; a light layer helps with wind or brief showers.
