Pettifogger:My list of Dont's:
5) Don't forget to get your "leave the island" pass from the airport on the day you get there to avoid the lines on the day you leave (if ever)
There is a booth at the airport and it is cash only I think. You don't need it until you arrive at the airport to leave and I believe it is $20 a person. It is technically a departure tax and you cannot board your plane without the little receipt from the booth.Diver Kat:We'll be traveling to Bonaire in May (23 days to go!!) and I've never seen a mention before of a "leave the island" pass ... can anyone explain this - and where exactly you get it at the airport???
Ahhh ... now it makes sense! I knew about the cash for the departure tax - but didn't know you could pay it in advance ... thanks for the explanation!!O-ring:There is a booth at the airport and it is cash only I think.

We're doing a full package through Deep Blue View B&B, and they include the Marine fee in the package. Luckily they take care of pretty much everything for us .....herman:How about the Marine Park Tag, do you know about that?
Alan & I will be there from May 6-15, so maybe we'll run into you .... or make sure you go to Gibi's on Tuesday night - apparently everyone on island meets there for dinner every Tuesday .....erikharwell:i will be there from may 8-15, I cant wait.
