Overview

Golf Carts

The guide was updated: 2024-09-14

While the city of Kralendijk is easy to explore on foot, if you want to tour the rest of the island, it is worth hiring a golf cart (or tuk-tuk). More eco-friendly than taxis, golf carts also allow for a more hands-on experience — not to mention your appointed guide, who will add an educative layer to your trip. At Bon Tuk, you can choose from a range of vehicle sizes and there are also several themed rides on offer.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The high season on Bonaire lasts from November to April and the rainiest months are October through December, so May and June could be ideal for those who seek pleasant weather and want to avoid the crowds. Temperatures are relatively stable all year round, but the easterly winds ease considerably around August, making that period feel much warmer.

Passport & Visa

Passport & Visa

Citizens of most countries do not require a visa to enter Bonaire for stays of up to 90 days. Visitors of certain nationalities might need to apply for a visa in advance. For complete information on entry requirements, please contact the Immigration Office on Bonaire or any representation of the Kingdom of Netherlands in your country. All visitors to Bonaire are required to pay the visitor tax, which is $75 in 2023 and can be paid online or upon arrival. Visitors will also need to provide a passport that is valid for the duration of the stay and has some unused pages, a valid return ticket, and the necessary documents for returning to their country of origin.

Airport

Airport

Bonaire International Airport (IATA: BON), or Flamingo Airport, is located directly to the south of Kralendijk, around 3.4 km from the city centre. The airport is small and easily accessible from the city and offers taxi and car rental services.

Cruise Port

Cruise Port

The cruise port of Bonaire is located on the west side of the island, close to the centre of Kralendijk. Ships dock at one of two terminals, known as the Northern Pier and Southern Pier. Between the two, the Northern Pier is a few minutes closer to Wilhelmina Park hosting souvenir vendors, the shopping street of Kralendijk (Kaya Grandi), and the Sea Promenade brimming with restaurants (Kaya J. N. E. Craane). Passengers can also avail of tourist information, tour, and scuba diving operators and taxis at the cruise port.

Taxi

Taxi

With average road conditions, road transport in Bonaire has its limitations, but taxi services are, nonetheless, available on the island. Taxis have 'TX' on the license plates and since the rates are set by the government, a price list should always be available for you to consult before your ride. It is best to book taxis in advance, for which information can be obtained at information booths or your accommodation. Water taxis are also available on the island, mostly to Klein (small) Bonaire opposite the cruise port, and it is also used by snorkellers and divers to get to other places with favourable conditions.
