Dominica
Aerial views of the 'Nature Isle' and its densely forested Morne Diablotins volcano.
Guadeloupe
The dramatic transition between the flat Grande-Terre and the mountainous Basse-Terre.
Montserrat
See the active Soufrière Hills volcano and the ash-covered ghost town of Plymouth.
St. Kitts & Nevis
The perfect volcanic cone of Mount Liamuiga and the narrow istmus of the island.
Virgin Islands
A dense cluster of British and US Virgin Islands surrounded by yacht-filled channels.
This is the premier side for island hopping from the air. The flight path follows the island arc closely, so keep your camera ready for the volcanic peaks of Montserrat and St. Kitts. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the islands as the sun moves west, illuminating the lush green eastern slopes.

Reef Formations
Stunning turquoise patterns where deep ocean meets shallow sandbanks near the islands.
Saba Island
The dramatic silhouette of Mount Scenery, the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Culebra & Vieques
View the world-famous Flamenco Beach and the rugged coastline of Puerto Rico's offshore islands.
Old San Juan
During the final approach, look for the historic El Morro fort and the colorful colonial buildings.
Choose the left side for the best views of the Puerto Rican coast during descent. If the flight lands towards the west, you will see the bioluminescent bays of Vieques and the dense El Yunque rainforest. Morning flights are preferred on this side to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the turquoise waters.
