Flamingo & Mangrove Trip with Local Guide.

The mangrove forest of Lac Bay is one of the most well-preserved in the Caribbean, serving for generations as a vital nursery for native fish, baby rays, lobsters, and seahorses. This lush, green environment is made up of dense mangrove trees with deep, webbed roots that not only support marine life but also help protect Bonaire from extreme weather—some even say they’re strong enough to slow a tsunami. The mangroves form a network of narrow channels shaded by natural canopies, where birds nest, fish swim, and the water is naturally filtered. Historically, this area has been essential to local fishermen and communities, providing both sustenance and materials for daily life. As you drive south toward Lac Bay, your guide will share insights into Bonaire’s history, landmarks, and the significance of the mangroves. Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to ask questions, enjoy scenic views, and prepare for an enriching exploration of one of Bonaire’s most treasured natural environments.
