The Marine Park has had a legal structure for 20 years with real management starting around 10 years ago. There are laws but enforcement can be a problem.

Hello, I will jump into this discussion, as current president of CURO (The Council of Underwater Resort Operators). All dive operators work very closely with the Bonaire Marine Park to ensure the highest quality of standards within all operations.

Thanks Susan. I was just going to recommend that they talk to you.

Thanks for identifying the appropriate resources. It also may allow people to inquire about plans before they even arrive, thus circumventing disappointment.

does anyone know if it is illegal to ride horses in the Washington Slagbaai park? i had heard that it was not allowed and wondered why. if it is i suppose there is a logical reason for it. i thought that would be a most pleasant trip on horseback. if i were to move there one day, i would have a horse. i realize this is not a typical question for this discussion group, but it is what i am interested in.

No walking in but of course, you can park somewhere and hike if you want.
