Saona Island
A world-renowned tropical paradise with bright turquoise shallows, often visible during the eastern arrival turn.
Bayahibe Coastline

Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of flight for the best mountain shots. For the arrival at SDQ, this side is superior for spotting the tropical islands and coral formations. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to capture the contrast between the green island vegetation and the reef colors.

Caribbean Horizon

Santo Domingo West
