Make your Bonaire vacation unforgettable with a visit to Donkey Sanctuary Bonaire, one of the island’s most memorable wildlife and animal-welfare experiences. Founded in 1993, the sanctuary provides a safe and permanent home for rescued, injured, sick, and orphaned donkeys, allowing visitors to see these gentle animals up close while learning about their history and care on the island.
A visit to the sanctuary offers a wonderful change of pace from Bonaire’s famous beaches and underwater adventures. As you explore the property, curious donkeys may approach your vehicle or come over to greet you, creating plenty of opportunities for memorable photographs and close encounters. The experience is especially popular with families, animal lovers, nature enthusiasts, and travelers looking for an authentic activity that supports a meaningful local cause.
Beyond simply seeing the animals, your visit helps contribute to their continued care, food, shelter, and veterinary needs. The sanctuary provides lifelong care for many of the donkeys that call Bonaire home, making your admission and purchases an important part of supporting its mission.
Set in Bonaire’s natural landscape, the sanctuary is an enjoyable addition to a day of island sightseeing. Bring your camera, take your time, and prepare to meet plenty of friendly four-legged residents. Whether you are traveling with children or simply have a love for animals, Donkey Sanctuary Bonaire offers a touching and uniquely Bonairean experience that you will remember long after your vacation.
