28 AUG 2018: Sunwing is pleased to announce it will be returning to the Caribbean island of Bonaire and offering travellers more accommodation and diving options to choose from this winter.  It will be the only Canadian tour operator to offer direct flights to the island in the South Caribbean.

Weekly Sunday flights from Toronto to Bonaire will resume December 16, 2018 and will run until April 14, 2019.

Consistently rated as one of the top diving destinations in the world, Bonaire is a favourite vacation hotspot among those who enjoy all types of water sports. Recognized for its commitment to sustainable tourism practices and coral preservation, the tropical oasis boasts 86 dive sites, which are home to 57 different corals and some 350 fish species. On-land, adventures are equally varied and range from hiking up the island’s tallest peak, Brandaris, for stunning ocean views to relaxing in the diminutive and colourful capital, Kralendijk.

President of Tour Operations, Andrew Dawson, commented on the news, “We are very pleased to return to Bonaire for another season and to be adding even more accommodation choices together with new diving packages. We’re sure that giving our customers the option to pre-book their diving experiences and pay in Canadian dollars will be well received.”

Maurice Adriaens, General Manager of Tourism Corporation Bonaire said, “Bonaire declared itself as the World’s First Blue Destination, it has always been a worldwide leader in recognizing the important aspects and developments of sustainability as well as sustainable economic growth opportunities. The protection of its nature resources has always been a priority, therefore assuring a great outdoor experience, such as diving or eco-activities.”
