Pay your nature fee
The Stinapa Bonaire nature fee is mandatory for all users of the Bonaire National Marine Park and the Washington Slagbaai National Park.
Valid per calendar year JAN-DEC
This is our impact
Bonaire's parks define much of the island's economic, social and cultural value so ensuring their sustainable use and management is vital. Learn more about STINAPA's role below:
Rooi Lamoenchi Bakuna Nature Park
Rooi Lamoenchi is located on the eastern side of the island and was founded in 1898. Rooi Lamoenchi was not a large plantation, by the way. The plantation has been owned by the Herrera family for generations. Julia Herrera aka Shon Julio was the last to manage Rooi Lamoenchi when the plantation was still operational. As of July 2022 Plantation Rooi Lamoenchi is managed and protected by STINAPA Bonaire.
Soon Rooi Lamoenchi Bakuna Nature Park will open for visitors.
One fee for nature

Simplifying The Nature Fee
As of January 1st, 2023, the nature fee will be easier to purchase for visitors coming to Bonaire.
Currently, there are different fees for scuba diving, other water activities such as snorkeling or kitesurfing, and additional fees to enter Washington Slagbaai National Park. This can make it confusing and unfair that one activity pays more than the other.
Starting in 2023, there will be only one calendar year fee of $40 that covers all water activities in the Bonaire National Marine Park. This one fee also includes entrance to Washington Slagbaai National Park. For cruise passengers, the fee will now be $10 to enter the Washington Slagbaai Park.
Beginning in 2024, cruise passengers will also have to pay a $10 Nature Fee to enter the Bonaire National Marine Park. Exceptions: All children under 13 years old, Bonairian residents, and our sister islands Curacao, Aruba, Saba, Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius, and Saba will be completely exempt from the Nature Fee.
