Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the transition from the deep blue Gulf Stream to the neon turquoise shallows of the Berry Islands and the intricate coastlines of the northern Bahamas.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Miami Skyline

Distant but clear views of the Miami and Sunny Isles Beach skylines to the south during the initial climb.

🛥️

The Bimini Chain

Depending on the flight path, the small, narrow strips of the Bimini islands may be visible amidst the vast blue.

🐚

Berry Islands

Spectacular views of the 'Stirrup Cays' and the sprawling, uninhabited sand flats that characterize this archipelago.

🌀

Current Cut

The narrow, high-velocity water passage between Current Island and Eleuthera, known for its extreme clarity.

🏖️

Harbour Island

A stunning overview of the world-famous pink sand beaches on the eastern side of the island during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for capturing the 'Bahamas Blue' color spectrum. This side typically gets the best views of the Berry Islands chain mid-flight. For afternoon flights, be aware that the southern sun might cause significant window glare.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🚢

Port Everglades

Aerial view of one of the world's busiest cruise ports and the Fort Lauderdale coastline immediately after takeoff.

🌊

The Gulf Stream

A stark visual transition as the aircraft leaves the Florida coast and enters the dark, deep blue waters of the Atlantic.

🏝️

Grand Bahama Bank

Mesmerizing patterns of white sand bars and shallow turquoise water as the plane crosses the bank's northern edge.

🌉

Glass Window Bridge

On approach, look for the narrowest point of Eleuthera where the dark Atlantic meets the calm Bight of Eleuthera.

🏘️

Spanish Wells

The picturesque, densely packed fishing village on St. George's Cay just off the tip of North Eleuthera.

Sit on the left if you want the best chance to see the iconic Glass Window Bridge. This side is better for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, reducing glare on the window while photographing the turquoise reefs.
