There is an increasing number of attractive possibilities for spending your time on Bonaire. The latest hot activity is flying a small aircraft. Bonaire now has its own AeroClub where you can fly a Cessna 172, the world’s most popular training plane. Are you not a pilot yet? No problem! Bonaire has the ideal conditions to learn how to fly. Fair weather, little air traffic and a couple of experienced FAA licensed instructors.

For non-pilots, there is the unique opportunity to see Bonaire from the sky in a flightseeing trip along the coastline. There are some restricted areas, but apart from that you can even pick any specific spot on the island that you want to see more close by.
