Public transportation in Bonaire is very limited, and there is no regular bus system with fixed routes or schedules like in many other destinations. Instead, the island offers a unique “bus on demand” service where you need to call in advance to arrange a pick-up. This makes using the bus less convenient for spontaneous travel but can work if planned ahead.

Because of the limited bus options, most visitors prefer to rent a car or use taxis to explore the island. Renting a vehicle is popular as it gives you the freedom to visit Bonaire’s natural parks, beaches, and dive sites at your own pace. Taxis are available but can be scarce, so it’s a good idea to book them in advance, especially when arriving or departing.

For shorter distances or a more eco-friendly option, renting a bike or scooter is also common. This allows you to enjoy the island’s scenic roads and coastal views while getting around easily.

In summary, while Bonaire doesn’t have a traditional bus system, planning your transportation ahead and considering vehicle rentals or taxis will help you make the most of your visit.
