CURBON

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

Provides a front-row seat to Willemstad's colorful harbor and Bonaire's surreal pink salt flats.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏘️

Willemstad UNESCO Site

The iconic Handelskade waterfront and its brightly colored Dutch colonial buildings.

🚤

Spanish Water

A large, picturesque inland bay dotted with luxury yachts and small islands on the eastern end of Curaçao.

🕯️

Klein Curaçao

If the flight path allows, look for the abandoned pink lighthouse on this tiny, remote island mid-flight.

🧂

Bonaire Salt Pans

Spectacular pink evaporation ponds and massive white salt pyramids that dominate the southern tip of Bonaire.

🦩

Pekelmeer Sanctuary

Keep an eye out for the pink hue of Caribbean flamingos congregating in the protected salt flats.

Sit on the right for the iconic Willemstad fly-over. This side is essential for seeing Bonaire's salt industry. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, making the pink colors of the salt pans and the blues of the ocean pop.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Hato Plains

Rugged limestone terraces and crashing waves on Curaçao's northern coast immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Klein Bonaire

The flat, uninhabited coral island surrounded by a turquoise marine park visible during the descent.

🛥️

Kralendijk Waterfront

A clear view of the capital's colorful seaside promenade and the main pier as you bank toward the runway.

Best for viewing the rugged northern coastline of Curaçao and the reef surrounding Klein Bonaire during the final descent. Mid-day flights provide the best sunlight to illuminate the shallow turquoise reefs around the islands.
