Join Bonaire-taxi.com on a scenic trip to one of Bonaire’s most famous spots: 1000 Steps. Despite the name, the limestone staircase leading down to the beach has far fewer steps, but the breathtaking view makes every step worthwhile.
From the top, you’ll enjoy panoramic vistas of turquoise waters and rugged coastline, while the beach below is a favorite place for snorkelers and divers who often encounter sea turtles. Even if you don’t go all the way down, this stop offers some of the most beautiful photo opportunities on the island.
Don’t forget your snorkel set!
The crystal-clear waters at 1000 Steps are home to one of Bonaire’s most beautiful reefs. Just a few meters from the beach, you can discover colorful coral, tropical fish, and sometimes even sea turtles. There are no rentals available on-site, so bringing your own snorkel gear ensures you won’t miss out on this unforgettable underwater experience.
