Jolly Harbour
Views of the western marinas and the turquoise waters of the Antiguan leeward coast.
Soufrière Hills
A dramatic look at Montserrat's active volcano and the abandoned capital, Plymouth, often seen venting steam.
Basse-Terre Mountains
The lush, rainforest-covered volcanic mountain range that forms the western wing of Guadeloupe.
La Grande Soufrière
The highest peak in the Lesser Antilles, often shrouded in a crown of clouds.
Caribbean Sea
Crystal clear waters with visible reef structures along the leeward side of the islands.
This is the premier side for this route. Keep your camera ready about 5 to 10 minutes after takeoff to capture the Montserrat volcano. As you approach Guadeloupe, the contrast between the Caribbean Sea and the rainforest-covered peaks of Basse-Terre is spectacular. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting to illuminate the volcanic features and mountain slopes.
