Where to Find Them

 

Sea turtles can be observed feeding and resting in all shallow water areas of Bonaire, but typical hot spots include Ebo’s Reef, Andrea II, and Karpata. Note that turtles need plenty of space: whether you are snorkeling or diving, stay far enough away that you do not disturb the activity of these endangered animals. The turtles will likely reward you for your consideration by allowing you to observe natural behaviors for extended periods.
