Soufrière Hills Volcano
Unmatched views of the active volcano on Montserrat, including the abandoned capital city of Plymouth and the massive ash-covered exclusion zone.
Mount Liamuiga
The towering 3,792-foot dormant volcano on St. Kitts, often shrouded in misty cloud forests.
The Quill
The perfectly formed volcanic crater on the island of St. Eustatius (Statia) rising from the southern end of the island.
Mount Scenery
The sharp peak of Saba, the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, appearing as a lone mountain in the middle of the sea.
Sir Francis Drake Channel
As you descend into Tortola, look for the deep blue waters and numerous smaller cays that form the BVI archipelago.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. The highlight is definitely Montserrat; keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after departure from DOM. If the flight path is slightly west of the islands, you will get a clear view of the volcanic vents and steam rising from Soufrière Hills.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides better views of the 'outer' islands like Antigua and Anguilla. During the descent into EIS, the right side often gets a sweeping view of Virgin Gorda and the famous 'Baths' area if the pilot approaches from the east.
