However, the island of Bonaire is not the only place where all the conditions for active recreation are created. The island of Saba is a paradise for divers, where the water temperature does not drop below 24C. Visibility under the water can reach 40 meters. Here, you can see a lot of different inhabitants of the sea depth, ranging from colorful fish to sharks and whales. Throughout the island, there are special dive centers, where you can rent equipment and hire an instructor.

Despite the fact that the Antilles are primarily associated with water activities, such as diving or fishing, those who prefer land can actively rest here.

However, entertainment in the Antilles is not limited to mountain trails and underwater treasures. In large cities, especially in the capital of the state - Willemstad - there are several nightclubs. There, parties are held regularly. In addition, each island can offer its guests some unique ways of having fun.
