Pilots even need special training to land on this runway. In this video, we ventured to the home of the world’s shortest runway, Saba. The runway is only 400 meters long, which is only a little nerve-wracking, but once you’re there, you can experience all the best parts of Saba. Unbeatable views, an amazing culinary scene, and world-class diving and snorkeling mean you’ve got to put this island on your bucket list.
