You’ll step off your flight at Bonaire airport and spot your local driver waiting—no stress or searching for rides. Enjoy a quiet drive to your hotel or villa with help for luggage and strollers if you need it. Return transfer is included too, so you’ll never worry about getting back on time. There’s something quietly reassuring about having all that sorted from the start.
Stepping out of the tiny Bonaire airport, I spotted my name on a sign before I’d even finished blinking away the plane sleep. The air felt thick and salty—like sunscreen and jet fuel mixed together—and I remember thinking, okay, I’m really here. Our driver, Franklin, gave a little wave and helped haul my overstuffed bag (I always pack too much) into the minivan. He didn’t rush us. There was this quiet patience in the way he waited for my friend to wrangle her stroller and get the baby settled.
The drive itself was kind of soothing after all that travel noise—just the hum of the AC and Franklin pointing out random things through the window. “That’s where locals go for goat stew,” he said, tapping his finger against the glass. The roads were emptier than I expected; pink bougainvillea everywhere, sun beating down so hard it made everything look washed out. At one point he laughed when I tried to pronounce “Kralendijk” (I still can’t say it right). It wasn’t a long ride—maybe fifteen minutes? But it felt like enough time to let my shoulders drop a bit.
Knowing we’d have a return transfer back to Bonaire airport took this weird little weight off my mind for the whole trip. No scrambling for taxis or wondering if someone would show up at 5am (our flight home was brutal). On our last morning Franklin was there again, same gentle smile, already loading our bags before I’d even finished my coffee. It’s such a simple thing but honestly—I still think about how calm that made me feel right before heading home.
