How to go from Curaçao to Bonaire?
Our sister island, Bonaire, is known to be a paradise for diving enthusiasts. But even if you don’t, it’s worth exploring the island for a few days. You can snorkel the stunning coral reefs, hop on a water cab that will take you to Klein Bonaire, an uninhabited island, or go kitesurfing or windsurfing, plus eat at the many excellent restaurants and explore the island on a jet ski.
Where to stay?
Although the flight only takes half an hour, it is advisable to spend at least one night in a hotel on Bonaire.
What to do in Bonaire?
Considering the check-in times at the airport, it would be a rushed trip if you want to explore the island. Once in Bonaire, the easiest way to get around is by rental car or motorcycle. You can also take a excursion around the island to make the most of your stay.
