Getting Around

How to get to and from Flamingo International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at BON

Flamingo International Airport is connected to Kralendijk and the wider Caribbean Netherlands transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Taxi

Government-regulated fixed fares apply; a trip to most Kralendijk hotels runs roughly $12–20 USD (about 5–10 minutes). The taxi stand is to the left as you exit the terminal.

Car Rental

Confirmed arrivals-hall counters include Avis, Hertz, Budget, AB Car Rental and Bonaire Rentals; reserving ahead is recommended in the December–April high season.

Insider tip

There is no public bus system on Bonaire — budget for a taxi or rental car for any trip beyond your resort's own shuttle, if it has one.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Flamingo International Airport website before travel.

Pre-Book Your Transfer

Skip the taxi queue. Book a private transfer from BON to Kralendijk in advance and have a driver waiting when you land.

Ground Transport Tips for BON

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Flamingo International Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.

If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.

Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Kralendijk city traffic can significantly extend journey times.

Download offline maps for Kralendijk before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.

If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
