Bonaire
Diver's Paradise. The entire coastline is a marine park. Shore diving is the main draw—just drive up, gear up, and jump in. Visit the salt pans and see flamingos. Windsurfing at Lac Bay is world-class.
Saba
The highest point in the Netherlands (Mount Scenery). It has no beaches, just steep cliffs and lush rainforest. The diving here is deep pinnacles and seamounts. The airport has the shortest commercial runway in the world.
Sint Eustatius
Quiet and historic. It was once a major trading hub ('The Golden Rock'). Great for wreck diving and hiking the Quill volcano.
