Echo’s goal is to ensure a stable and growing population of the Yellow-shouldered Amazon Parrot.
We hope to achieve this by:
- Reducing the poaching of chicks for the local and international pet trade.
- Restoring the dry-forest habitat that the parrots call home.
- Reducing habitat degradation by non-native species such as donkeys, goats, and pigs.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind Conservation Experience in collaboration with ECHO Bonaire, an organization dedicated to protecting and restoring Bonaire’s native ecosystems, particularly its endangered parrot species, the Yellow-shouldered Amazon parrot (Lora). This experience combines adventure with purpose, offering you the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the island’s environmental conservation efforts.
Your day begins with a guided tour of ECHO’s conservation site, where you’ll learn about their work to rehabilitate Bonaire’s forests and protect native wildlife. You’ll get an inside look at their reforestation projects, habitat restoration, and how they support the island’s unique biodiversity. As part of the experience, you’ll also have the chance to participate in hands-on activities like planting trees, maintaining wildlife habitats, or monitoring parrot populations.

“What makes it most special though is the welcoming friendliness of the staff. They take their job very serious and take extra time showing or explaining things and upcoming questions. Or just to have a little chat after an exiting day of diving.
Thanks a lot for this amazing experience!”

“We’ve just completed our PADI Wreck Diving course with them. Exceptional instructors and all of the staff are friendly and accommodating. Safety is a very high priority and the whole experience from planning our dives to talking them through afterwards was great. Highly recommended!”

“It has been our third dive trip to Bonaire, we were looking to do something different and explore new dive sites, especially those that are not marked on the official map. It was a success! I will never forget our Playa Frans dive, it was magical.”
