🦩

Pekelmeer Salt Pans

Vibrant pink salt lakes and towering white salt pyramids at the southern tip of Bonaire.

🏝️

Klein Curaçao

A small, uninhabited island known for its turquoise waters and a lonely, historic lighthouse.

🏙️

Willemstad Waterfront

Excellent views of the UNESCO-listed Handelskade buildings and the Queen Emma Bridge.

⚓

St. Anna Bay

The deep-water channel that splits the capital of Curaçao into Punda and Otrobanda.

🌊

Fuik Bay

A secluded coastal inlet known for clear waters and popular weekend boat gatherings.

Choose the left side for the best view of the colorful architecture during landing. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the Caribbean Sea.

Right Side Highlights

🏘️

Kralendijk

A bird's eye view of Bonaire's charming capital right after takeoff from Flamingo Airport.

🌵

Washington Slagbaai

The rugged, desert-like northern landscape of Bonaire visible in the distance during climb.

North Coast Surf

Dramatic views of the rough Caribbean Sea crashing against Curaçao's limestone terraces.

Spanish Water

A large, protected lagoon filled with sailboats and surrounded by upscale residential villas.

The right side is ideal for spotting the rugged desert terrain and limestone cliffs of the islands. Late afternoon flights provide great golden-hour lighting for the northern coastline.
