Morne Diablotins
The highest mountain in Dominica, often shrouded in mist, visible shortly after departing from the north of the island.
Les Saintes
A stunning view of the small archipelago south of Guadeloupe, known for its beautiful bays and colonial fort.
La Soufriere Volcano
Guadeloupe's active volcano on Basse-Terre, providing a majestic and imposing silhouette against the sky.
Guadeloupe National Park
Lush, dense tropical rainforests covering the mountainous western 'wing' of the island.
Petit Cul-de-Sac Marin
The turquoise waters and mangrove forests of the bay as the plane aligns for its final approach into PTP.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic volcanic scenery. Morning flights are highly recommended because the mountain peaks of both Dominica and Guadeloupe are less likely to be obscured by afternoon cloud build-up. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from DOM to capture the rugged northern coastline of Dominica.

The Atlantic Coast
Views of the wilder, windward side of Dominica where the Atlantic Ocean meets the rocky cliffs.
Marie-Galante
The round 'Big Pancake' island is often visible to the east while crossing the channel between Dominica and Guadeloupe.
Pointe des Châteaux
The dramatic rocky peninsula at the easternmost tip of Grande-Terre, featuring limestone formations and crashing waves.
Sainte-Anne Beaches
Aerial views of the iconic white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons that line the southern coast of Grande-Terre.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer coastal views and turquoise lagoons over mountain peaks. It offers a great perspective of the flatter, beach-heavy Grande-Terre side of Guadeloupe. Late afternoon flights provide excellent golden hour lighting on the eastern beaches as you approach Pointe-a-Pitre.
