The Caribbean’s premier dive and beach resort now offers guests a chance to see the island from an exhilarating new perspective: floating atop glistening Caribbean waters on a Stand-Up Paddleboard
Bonaire, Dutch Antilles – Combining one of the fastest growing fitness and recreation activities with one of the most beautiful seascapes in the Caribbean, Harbour Village Beach Club in Bonaire now offers guests Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) tours of the island’s northern coast. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Harbour Village Beach Club is located on a four-acre private peninsula with well-appointed villas nestled amid lush tropical gardens, a white sand beach, and an onsite First Class 5 Star PADI Instructor Development Center catering to all ages and skill levels.
The new, guided Stand-Up Paddleboard tours will let guests explore the beautiful northern coast of the main island of Bonaire and the picturesque Harbour Village marina while experiencing the fitness benefits of this increasingly popular activity. The one-hour tour is priced at $75 per person, and is limited to three people per tour so the expert guides from the resort’s dive shop can provide a personalized experience. “This is a great tour for both experienced Stand-Up Paddleboarders and those trying it for the first time,” said Jean-Marc Petin, General Manager of Harbour Village Beach Club. In addition to the SUP tours, the resort’s dive shop will add kayak tours to its already burgeoning list of offerings.
For those interested in exploring below the surface, Harbour Village features diving packages for both certified and non-certified divers, along with some of the Caribbean’s best snorkeling opportunities. Due to Bonaire’s leeward location outside of the hurricane belt, and its consistently pleasant climate, crystal-clear visibility prevails at any depth, giving an enthralling view of the undersea landscape.
Guests can explore dive sites just off Harbour Village’s shore, including the shipwreck of the 60-foot “Our Confidence,” located just 50 yards out from the beach a great spot for beginners that can even be seen by snorkelers from the surface. Another popular dive site, “Something Special,” is also a short swim away. Guests at Harbour Village also can participate in coral reef educational dives at Harbour Village, a founding member of the Coral Restoration Foundation in Bonaire, along with many other onsite activities. And after a full day of fun on and under the water, guests can relax in their luxurious accommodations, situated just a few steps away from the beach and feature opulent décor and thoughtful details like secluded lanais and double hammocks. The resort is also home to the acclaimed La Balandra Restaurant, which gives the sensation of sailing into the Caribbean seascape with a dining deck located on a jetty extending out to sea, as well as The Spa at Harbour Village Beach Club.
