Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to South Bimini Airport (Alice Town)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the turquoise waters surrounding North Bimini and the dramatic color transition of the Gulf Stream.
Port Everglades
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest cruise ports and massive cargo ships during departure.
The Gulf Stream
Witness the sharp line where the light coastal green water meets the deep cobalt blue of the Atlantic current.
North Bimini Strip
A perfect bird's-eye view of Alice Town and the narrow strip of land that defines the island's unique shape.
Great Bahama Bank
The stunning shift to neon turquoise water as the plane crosses over the shallow sandbanks.
Choose the left side for the approach; it offers a direct view of the Resorts World complex and the famous Bimini Road underwater rock formation. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun is high enough to illuminate the reef colors without creating excessive glare on the water's surface.
Hollywood Beach
Views of the sprawling Florida coastline and the iconic Broadwalk stretching south toward Miami.
Gun Cay & Cat Cay
Distant views of the exclusive private islands located just south of the main Bimini chain.
South Bimini Mangroves
A close-up look at the lush, green mangrove forests that cover much of the island where you will land.
The right side is best for those who enjoy open ocean horizons and spotting luxury yachts crossing the straits. During the final descent, look for the 'S.S. Sapona' shipwreck south of the islands, which is often visible on clear days from this side of the aircraft.
