The Bight of Acklins
A massive expanse of crystal-clear turquoise water that is the geographic star of the region.
Sandbars and Cays
View artistic swirls of white sand and tiny, uninhabited coral islands dotted throughout the lagoon.
Lovely Bay
A picturesque view of the quiet coastal settlement and its surrounding shallow waters.
Bonefishing Flats
Look for the unique visual textures of the world-famous shallow fishing grounds.
The right side is the definitive choice for iconic Bahamian 'blue' views. To best capture the vibrant turquoise hues of the Bight, mid-day flights are ideal as high sun angles minimize shadows. If using a camera, a polarizing filter is highly recommended to cut through surface glare and reveal the underwater sand patterns.

Atlantic Trench
Witness the dramatic transition from shallow reefs to the deep blue of the open ocean shelf.
Crooked Island Coast
Observe the limestone cliffs and pristine white beaches near the departure point.
Acklins Bush
See the dense tropical scrubland and the wild, natural interior of Acklins Island.
Sit on the left to see the rugged Atlantic side of the archipelago. This side is particularly scenic during the early morning when the rising sun illuminates the limestone cliffs. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane remains at a very low altitude for this short hop.
