If you look at the central area of any Map of Bonaire in the Caribbean, you will easily locate Kaya Grandi, the vibrant main street and commercial spine of the capital, Kralendijk. This area is the perfect spot for strolling, shopping, and experiencing the island’s Dutch-Caribbean charm.
However, while Kaya Grandi is the heart of commerce, the real adventure lies beyond its colorful buildings. Let Fiestatours Bonaire help you connect your urban exploration with the vast shore diving and nature sites across the island.
