Creator's Key Takeaways

If you can find an excursion that brings you to the shipwreck, I highly recommend it.

It was the highlight of the day for me getting We're back from the snorkeling excursion

We have um booked a cruise that has gone to Bonire three times in the past. And um tomorrow, fingers are crossed, I'm going to actually touch foot on the bonire.

Find an excursion that brings you to the WWII German shipwreck for snorkeling.
Try Planks BBQ for a food overload, but be prepared for heat.
