Bonaire - Washington-Slagbaai National Park

by ldilauro

Hello

One more Bonaire related question. I want to take either the yellow or green driving routes/tours in the Washington-Slagbaai National Park, should I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle ? I will already have a regular car for the week and was just curious if I will have to rent a different vehicle just to visit the park.

Thanks
ldilauro

**** 1 week and counting **** Bonaire here I come ***

Back from Bonaire and had a wonderful time. We did rent a 4-wheel drive SUV for the tour of the park and we were glad we did. I would say 100% that a vehicle with high under carriage clearance is the best choice for the long route. There were places on the long route where we would have had SERIOUS concerns / issues with a regular car.

Full Trip report to follow by the end of the month.

Bonaire is a beautiful but...

Bonaire is a beautiful but also very quiet island. The most tourist are there to scuba dive, so they are almost the whole day under water. It's really a 'divers paradise'. (just like the licenceplate says)

The "A, B, C" islands use 127V, 60Hz.

Standard plug is the USA (NEMA) & Japanese 2-pin flat blade, types A & B

However, European 2-pin plug is also common.

Bonaire - not so good?

by tomruth78

I visited Bonaire on my return from Peru. For an island in the Carribean seas, I was very dissapointed in the island. Not one palm tree in sight, just very barron landscapes. You see, Bonaire is not like the other islands, it gets little rain and is constantly hot. The youth hostel we stayed at was the unfriendliest place in the world. If you are to stay I would recommend the Flamingo resort, this is where we spent most of our time and it seemed to have very good facilities.

But on a plus point, the sea life is the best I have ever seen. It beats the Great Barrier Reef hands down!!

The island is described as 'semi-desert'. I'm not sure what's so 'semi' about it, but the 'desert' is right on the target! Generally, the only plants growing are cacti, bogenvilla and palm trees. There are lots of iguana, hummingbirds, ants and mosquitos. Definitely bring your insect repellent, and don't leave food out! :)

Driving in Bonaire

by ainsleigh

Driving is on the right, and was overall very sensible and safe. There are a few major roads for getting around the perimeter of the island, with a couple of narrow sections. Of course locals who know the roads will want to go faster than you so don't be that annoying tourist driver; let people pass you and they'll be grateful. Traffic is easy to navigate in the towns but parking can be frustrating in downtown Kralendijk at certain times of day.

Driving in Bonaire is a memorable experience in and of itself- there's a beautiful Scenic Drive along the island's Northwest edge, winding roads through the desert in the South, and both long & short scenic roads in Washington Slagbaai National Park.
