|
|
Hi. I would like your suggestions for destinations to go with kids aged 6 and 8, to get them on a board for the first time in easy conditions and warm water. I am considering Bonaire and Isla Margarita. Bonaire is easier to get to and seems to have easier conditions. Margarita is a more interesting island to keep the wife happy.
Thank you for your suggestions! |

Bonaire. Better conditions for kids to learn (knee deep, reef protected bay) and safer (Margarita is in Venezuela). |

Lac Bay in Bonaire is kid's paradise. It's always chock full of kids on rigs, playing in the shallows or fishing off the two piers. I cannot imagine a safer more kid friendly spot. _________________ Ann Phelan

Margarita not so kid friendly
I love Margarita but if u can't get a direct flight. Away from Caracas. .. I quit going. I love the place but ...
If u r interested and want more info send me a message but look into Bonaire.
And I'm confident u can keep wife happy there. I hear its beautiful I tried to get there once, I may in future.
Good luck! Max |

Bonaire, without a doubt.
Info for the wife:
-excellent restaurants
-nature tours (my wife and I loved the mangrove kayak tour)
-bookable spa "stuff"
-incredible snorkeling in super easy conditions
and last but not least,
-Bonaire is the place for significant others who aren't interested in windsurfing to try windsurfing. Crystal clear thigh-deep water, no chop, friendly breezes, beach chairs right by the water (and food and drink).
BTW "Caribchikita" who posts here is a windsurfing vacation travel agent. She's excellent...my wife and I have been using her for a decade (and are booked through her for a 2014 vacation currently). If you want to dial in things for yourself and/or your wife, I highly recommend contacting her (An) directly. _________________ Michael
