Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat and the dramatic mountainous terrain of Guadeloupe's Basse-Terre.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Soufriere Hills Volcano

Witness the dramatic, ash-covered slopes and the exclusion zone of Montserrat's active volcano.

🌳

Basse-Terre National Park

Admire the lush, dense rainforests and high peaks of Guadeloupe, including the highest point, La Grande Soufriere.

⛵

Les Saintes Bay

Glimpse the beautiful archipelago of Les Saintes, often cited as having one of the most beautiful bays in the world.

⛰️

Dominica Central Range

Upon arrival, enjoy the stunning silhouette of the 'Nature Island' with its cloud-capped volcanic mountains.

The right side is essential for seeing Montserrat's volcanic activity. For the best photography, choose a mid-afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes of the islands. The descent into Dominica from the north offers a thrilling view of the dense canopy and deep valleys.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Grande-Terre Coastline

View the flatter, coral-limestone half of Guadeloupe featuring white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons.

🏝️

Marie-Galante Island

Spot this nearly perfectly circular island known as the 'Big Pancake' located south of Guadeloupe.

🌊

Atlantic Ocean Interface

Observe the deep blue Atlantic waters and the white surf crashing against the rugged eastern windward coasts.

🛬

Douglas-Charles Approach

As the plane banks toward the runway, get a close look at the lush, rain-drenched cliffs of northern Dominica.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. This side provides a better view of the flatter islands and the vast Atlantic horizon. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of Marie-Galante shortly after passing Guadeloupe.
