What You Will Do
The mangrove forest of Lac Bay is one of the best-preserved mangrove forests in the Caribbean. For generations, this lush, green environment has served as a home and incubator to native fish, baby rays, lobster and seahorses. The bushy and beautiful trees and their deep, webbed roots protect Bonaire from extreme weather conditions. It’s rumoured that they’re strong enough to withstand the wind and water to slow a tsunami!
While driving south to the Mangroves, your guide will inform you about the history and sites of Bonaire. You’ll also have a chance to ask questions and explore before arriving at beautiful Lac Bay.

Meeting Point

Lac Bay
The mangroves are a series of narrow channels covered by natural canopies made by bending the mangrove trees that house birds and fish and clean the water. For centuries fishers and tourists have been visiting, kayaking and exploring this area of rich waters. Historically, they also provided means to make household items and played an essential role in the fishing community, which you will learn about on this tour.
