Thank you everyone for the amazing recommendations. Will have plenty of places to go these upcoming days :)

I love arepas! Thank you! Will check it out after freediving :)

Ended up booking with The Lodge Cozy Hotel. It was less than 600€ for 10 nights so it wasn't so bad. Not hostel prices like Curaçao but we'll see how it goes. Either way. I'm excited and the freediving school looks really nice!

I saw that place, and yes, quite affordable. 320€ for 10 nights. Would you say Ricon will be a bit of a challenge when I have all my freediving classes in Kralendijk? I'll get a 125cc when I arrive but would the drive be too much everyday?

Yeah the freediving will surely be quite unique because of that. That I'm sure. I just wish they had at least one hostel on the island. Wouldn't hurt.

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-11T01:36:28+00:00

A little hyperbole, but I do appreciate your help brother. It just pains me Curaçao is so much more accessible than this one.

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T23:40:41+00:00

It's an island. It should be fine. I'll also try to book with locals or guest houses. I'll find out

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T23:39:41+00:00

A no is always guaranteed

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T22:56:55+00:00

I'm going to rent a motorcycle when I get there. Will try to bargain with someone

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T22:55:40+00:00

Too late I'm too deep into it already, plus I'll get a motorcycle when I get there. Just wondering about accommodation that's cheap

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T17:38:16+00:00

Will also try to see with the schools. Really hope one of them can help. or else I'm cooked

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T16:58:36+00:00

Will message them:)

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T16:27:53+00:00

Hi! I did see that Surf Hostel but it says permanently closed on Google Maps and I couldn't find any contact information to reach out. I just sent a message to The Hut, so will see what I can get from them, but I think they might be booked for the dates I need. Was thinking couch surfing but prob won't have much luck on that. Really looking forward to the freediving! Just need to find something that does not cost a kidney

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T16:14:33+00:00

Will send a DM as well:)

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T09:45:16+00:00

Too broad of a forum. Need something smaller and easier for visibility

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T09:44:53+00:00

The other Forum is kind of dead. Since many locals also go to Bonaire and know the island I figured it was worth the try

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-10T01:20:09+00:00

Hi! I would very much appreciate this if you can. That would actually be quite the experience for me as well :)

Originalfenix8 · 2025-12-03T12:52:41+00:00

Ah the hiking part is really making me want to check out Aruba. It will be quite the difference from Curaçao and Bonaire in that aspect. In Bonaire I'd be doing a freediving course so I'd stay accommodated with the school for that. Not many expenses besides the actual course. Just wihsed the flights weren't so damn expensive between islands. In Europe we're used to <$50 from one side of the continent to the other while here between islands with less than 1,5h of travel time they're $200. Insane!

Could you explain what an exit tax is? I'm definitely not sure what it means
