Seasons

We have four season on Bonaire. but they don't match North American seasons.  Our Hot Season is August, September and October.  Rainy Season starts October 1 (whether it rains or not). Hurricane Season is June through November.  December to July is our Perfect Season

This is "Fall" or hot season on Bonaire . Our mango tree drops leaves and grows new ones. After three months of blasting heat the tree begins to bloom.  This time of year we spend most of our time in the air-co while not raking leaves.

After hurricane season, the cruise ships come back to the island.  We are only supposed to have one ship a day, but today we saw two in port. This signals the time where we avoid going into town during the day until the ships leave. 

On cruise ship days the island is littered with slow moving golf carts, throngs of people on the sidewalks and roads and lots of sunburned people on the beaches.




The best season on Bonaire is November through July.  The weather is perfect. Trees and flowers are blooming. We can enjoy being outside all the time.  Its paradise.

It's a great time to visit. Come see us in paradise.
