These fares include a cabin bag, with no checked bag. In January the price goes up to €790.
💰 How far does your money go?
Bonaire is part of the Netherlands, but it runs on US dollars and it is not a cheap island. A fish sandwich from a food truck costs about $10, a local beer $5 to $7, and a plate of kabritu stoba (goat stew) at a local snack around $15. That is close to what an Amstel and a bite on an Amsterdam terrace cost you now, except here the terrace faces the Caribbean.
☀️ The Weather
November is warm and steady in Bonaire. Expect highs of about 30°C, nights around 26°C and a sea at 28°C. Short showers pass quickly, the trade winds keep it comfortable, and the island sits outside the hurricane belt.
🏨 Where to Stay
Most places to stay are in and around Kralendijk, close to the best shore dives.
