Soufrière Hills, Montserrat
Witness the dramatic volcanic landscape and the steaming peak of one of the Caribbean's most famous active volcanoes.
Nevis Peak
A stunning view of the 3,232-foot volcanic peak often shrouded in a halo of white clouds.
Mount Liamuiga, St. Kitts
Look for the lush, forested slopes of this massive stratovolcano as you fly parallel to the island's western coast.
The Quill, St. Eustatius
Spot the perfectly formed volcanic crater known as The Quill rising from the southern end of Statia.
Saba (Mount Scenery)
If the flight path is slightly west, catch a glimpse of the steepest island in the Caribbean rising abruptly from the sea.
Sit on the left for the most consistent geographic landmarks. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the western slopes of the islands. Keep a sharp eye out within the first 10 minutes of flight to catch the desolate 'exclusion zone' of Montserrat.

St. Barthélemy (St. Barts)
Aerial views of the rugged coastline, Gustavia Harbor, and the famous short runway at St. Jean.
Orient Bay, St. Martin

Anguilla's Northern Reefs
As you descend into AXA, enjoy vibrant turquoise waters and the intricate reef systems surrounding Shoal Bay.
The right side is preferred for spotting the glamorous island of St. Barts. This side is also better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Caribbean Sea. It provides the best view of the Anguillan coastline during the final approach.
