What is Bonaire Friends?

In celebration of the people of Bonaire, we’re inviting you to share positive stories about locals you’ve met on the island. Did someone help you enjoy a new experience, point you towards a new favorite restaurant or simply lend a helping hand? Tell us about it and we’ll reward your Bonaire Friend with a $250 prize.

How Does It Work?

Each week, the Tourism Corporation of Bonaire will select the top 3-5 submissions, then the Bonaire Friends Review Committee (comprised of the TCB team and BONHATA team) will score those submissions to determine a winner. The scores will be based on story uniqueness and passion of the local.

It's In Our Nature
