Bonaire Airport to Kralendijk Port: Private Transfer & Meet

Summary

Private airport ride in Bonaire with local driver pickup

You’ll step off the plane at Bonaire Flamingo Airport and be met by your driver holding your name sign, then ride in comfort straight to Kralendijk Cruise Port. No taxi lines or stress — just cool air-conditioning, help with your luggage, and a quick chat about local spots before you even see the port. It’s easygoing from start to finish.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed when we landed at Bonaire Flamingo International was the salty breeze — it’s different here, softer somehow. We’d barely made it through arrivals before spotting our name on a sign, just like they said. Our driver, Daniel, waved and smiled (he had that relaxed island way about him). He helped with our bags, which honestly felt heavier than when we left home — no idea how that happens every time.

It was only a short drive from the airport to Kralendijk Cruise Port, maybe 10 minutes? But I remember the sun coming in low through the window, lighting up all those pastel houses along the way. Daniel told us how he’s lived here his whole life; he pointed out a bakery where he gets breakfast most mornings. I tried to say “dank je” and he laughed — apparently my Dutch is as bad as my Spanish. The car was cool inside (thankfully), and everything looked spotless. There was even a child seat for my niece without us having to ask twice.

We didn’t have to worry about lines or figuring out taxis — just straight from arrivals to the port. It sounds simple but after an early flight, not having to think too much is kind of a gift. I still think about how easy it felt stepping into that van while everyone else was looking around for rides or arguing over prices. So yeah, if you’re landing at Bonaire Airport and need to get to Kralendijk Port, this private transfer really does what it promises. And Daniel’s playlist? Pure island gold.
