Dublin Bay
Panoramic views of the Irish Sea coastline and the iconic Poolbeg chimneys shortly after takeoff.
Wicklow Mountains
The rugged granite peaks and deep valleys of the 'Garden of Ireland' visible stretching to the south.
The Curragh
The iconic flat, green plains of Kildare, home to Ireland's famous horse racing industry.
Galtee Mountains
Ireland's highest inland mountain range, offering a sharp contrast to the surrounding fertile plains.
Kerry Peaks
Close-up views of the eastern edges of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks as you approach Farranfore.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Wicklow Mountains. This side avoids direct afternoon sun, making it easier to spot the Galtees mid-flight. In winter, look for snow caps on the higher peaks for excellent photography.
