Klein (Little) Curacao, Curacao

Advantages: Kralendijk
Disadvantages: Willemstadt

..., particularly for sites located off Klein Bonaire, a small island which can only be reached by boat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Diving ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Though the diving in terms of species of marine fauna and flora is pretty similar, there are some differences which make both islands uniquely likeable in their own right. Both share superb visibility conditions, and warm waters for much of the year, but Bonaire’s underwater environment is softer, in a pretty sort of way, whilst Curaçao offers more rugged and dramatic sea scapes. Soft and hard corals are beautiful on both, and sponges are simply stunning for colours, variety and sizes.

The island has plenty small hidden beaches to discover as well. And spectucalar view from its mountain which is located in the island's Nature Resort. And then there many shop to visit in the centre of the town which still has many of the traditional colonialist buildings in it. Overall the island is tourist's best destination to book for 2001....
