Port Everglades
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest cruise ports immediately after departure.
Tongue of the Ocean
The dramatic underwater canyon near Andros where the water shifts from bright teal to midnight blue.
The Exuma Chain
A continuous string of 365 islands stretching toward the horizon as you descend.
Shifting Sandbars
Breathtaking swirling sand patterns in the shallow waters known as 'The Sandbox'.
The right side is legendary for this route. You will follow the spine of the Exuma Cays for the final 20 minutes of the flight. Wear polarized sunglasses to see through the surface reflection and reveal the true intensity of the turquoise water. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for this side.
