Naples Coastline
Immediately after takeoff, catch glimpses of the white sand beaches and the historic Naples Pier over the Gulf.
Big Cypress Preserve
Views of the dense cypress strands and diverse swamp habitats that characterize this national preserve.
Shark Valley Tower
Look for the concrete observation tower in the heart of the Everglades, a landmark of the Shark Valley region.
Miami Metro Sprawl
The dramatic transition from the 'River of Grass' to the dense urban towers of Doral and Miami Springs.
The right side is ideal for capturing the vastness of the Everglades National Park. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the wetlands. Look for the Miccosukee Indian Reservation along the Tamiami Trail during the descent.

Golden Gate Estates
A massive grid of residential canals and roads representing one of the largest planned subdivisions in the US.
Immokalee Farmlands
Vast agricultural tracts where much of the region's winter produce is grown, visible as geometric green patches.
Alligator Alley
The straight line of I-75 cutting through the northern reaches of the Everglades ecosystem.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It provides an excellent perspective on how the suburban sprawl of South Florida abruptly meets the protected wetlands of the Everglades.
