Travel guide: Sint Eustatius
The Caribbean Netherlands – Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba – are a unique piece of the Netherlands in the Caribbean: rugged, unspoilt and far removed from mass tourism. Instead of endless sandy beaches, you'll find world-class diving, green volcanic slopes and a relaxed island life with Caribbean charm. Those who come here are looking for peace, nature and the feeling of truly switching off.

Mobile internet in Sint Eustatius
On Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, Telcell N.V. – one of the region's most established providers – supplies mobile coverage. The network is good in towns and along main roads, but can fluctuate in remote areas and on volcanic trails. 4G is standard; 5G has not yet been rolled out nationwide on the islands.
With an eSIM you're online as soon as you land and don't have to worry about local SIM cards – especially on the small islands, the nearest shop is often far away. Handy on the go: download offline maps for hikes and dive sites, as there's often no signal in remote coves. You'll get by fine in English everywhere: on Bonaire, Dutch and Papiamentu are widely spoken, while on Sint Eustatius and Saba English is the main language – a translation app can still be helpful.
Highlights in Sint Eustatius
Bonaire Marine Park
The entire coastal waters around Bonaire are a protected marine park – one of the oldest in the world. Snorkellers and divers can experience intact coral reefs, colourful schools of fish and often turtles right from the shore.
Washington Slagbaai National Park
The national park in the north of Bonaire combines wild coasts, salt pans with flamingos, cactus forests and abandoned plantations. Explore the dusty tracks and secluded bays by pickup or mountain bike.
The Quill on Sint Eustatius
The dormant volcano The Quill dominates Sint Eustatius and offers one of the most beautiful hikes in the Caribbean: through lush rainforest, you descend into the crater with giant trees and tropical plants.
Mount Scenery on Saba
Saba is the smallest of the three islands, but with Mount Scenery (877 m) it has the highest point in the Netherlands. The climb through the cloud forest is strenuous but rewarded with dramatic views over the neighbouring islands.
Practical travel tips
- Bonaire is the largest and most touristy of the three islands – here you'll find supermarkets, restaurants and dive centres. Sint Eustatius and Saba are much quieter and less developed.
- For exploring Bonaire, a hire car (preferably a pickup) is worthwhile to reach the national park and remote beaches. On Saba and Statia the roads are extremely steep and winding – taxis or the well-developed shared taxi system are often more pleasant.
- Pack sturdy footwear: the most beautiful hikes on Saba and Statia lead through muddy paths and over roots. For Bonaire's coast, light trainers or water shoes are sufficient.
- Many accommodations offer Wi-Fi, but the connection is often slow. If you plan to stream a lot or work, an eSIM with plenty of data is the better choice – and mobile hotspots for your tablet or laptop work without any problems.
Do’s
- Greet the locals warmly – on the islands, a smile and a friendly ‘Bon dia’ (good day) or ‘Bon tardi’ (good afternoon) in Papiamentu is much appreciated.
- Protect the fragile coral reefs: use reef-friendly sunscreen, keep your distance from marine life and don't touch corals – not even with your fins.
- Take your rubbish with you, especially on secluded beaches and in the national park. There are few public bins, and plastic harms marine life.
- Watch out for free-roaming donkeys, goats and iguanas on the roads – drive carefully, especially in the national park and at dusk.
Don’ts
- Don't wear swimwear away from the beach or pool – appropriate clothing is expected in restaurants, shops and churches.
- Don't feed wild animals, including the famous donkeys on Bonaire – it disrupts their natural behaviour and can encourage aggressive begging.
- Don't launch a drone without permission – flying is prohibited or heavily regulated in national parks and over marine protected areas.
- Don't take shells, coral or sand home as souvenirs – it's not only harmful to the ecosystem but can also cause problems at the airport.

Sint Eustatius eSIM – frequently asked questions
Which Sint Eustatius eSIM plan do I need?
That depends on how much data you use: for navigation, messaging and occasional browsing 1–3 GB per week is usually enough; for social media, video calls or hotspot rather 5 GB or more. The plans cost between €6.99 and €40.99.
When does the validity of my eSIM start?
Validity only starts when the eSIM connects to a network at your destination for the first time. So you can safely install it before your trip.
Will my normal phone number stay reachable?
Yes. This is a data-only eSIM installed in addition to your SIM card. Calls and SMS still use your normal number – mind your provider’s roaming prices.
Does the eSIM work with my phone?
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. This includes all iPhones from XS/XR, Samsung Galaxy from S20 and Google Pixel from 3. See “Compatible devices” for the full list.
How do I set up the eSIM?
After purchase you receive a QR code by email. Scan it in your phone’s mobile network settings, select the eSIM for mobile data and switch on data roaming for the eSIM at your destination.
Do I need to set an APN?
No. The access point (APN) is set automatically for all Sint Eustatius eSIM plans.
