Despite its reputation for catering solely to scuba divers, Bonaire has opportunities for travellers of all kinds. Depending on whether you buy an underwater photo rig or a case of Cubanos, you should expect to pay around US$300 a day for top-end services. Moderate travellers will probably spend about US$200, and those on a budget about US$100. Remember that many resorts offer dive packages that include most costs; renting gear and organizing boats independently will probably cost more.

US dollars (bills only) are widely accepted but you're likely to get your change in florins. Travellers cheques and credit cards are welcomed at most businesses. Most restaurant checks and hotel bills have a 10-15% service charge already included; this is the standard tip for taxi drivers.
