Click here to view the Nature Fee brochure

The sea around Bonaire and Klein Bonaire is protected and managed by STINAPA through the Bonaire National Marine Park. The Marine Park is from the high water mark to the depth of 60 meters (200ft).

Users of the Marine Park have to pay an entrance fee called ‘the Nature Fee’. *

By paying the Nature Fee you provide the funds to manage the parks and guarantee our lasting success in nature protection and conservation.

Your payment of $25 as a SCUBA diver, or $10 as a non SCUBA diver, covers admission for one calendar year to the Bonaire National Marine Park as well as to the Washington Slagbaai National Park. SCUBA divers display the traditional round tag while non SCUBA divers will receive a diamond shaped tag.

As a Nature Fee tag holder you may enter the Washington Slagbaai National Park free of charge by showing the written receipt of purchase of your tag and a picture ID. This can be your C-card, driver's license, etc. Copies are also accepted.

A one-day pass is also available; for SCUBA diving the one-day pass costs $10.

Non SCUBA divers younger than 12 years and residents of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba are exempt.

Please note that the payment of the Nature Fee grants permission to use the BNMP for the specific individual for whom the fee is paid and may not be used by any other individuals.

*Payment of the entrance fee to the Bonaire National Marine Park is required by law: Marine Ordinance A.B.1991 no. 8 article 2A A.B. 2005 no. 10 article 2 – 1 & 2.
