Great Bahama Bank
Incredible patterns of sapphire and turquoise water over the shallow sandbanks of the Bahamas.
Andros & Exuma Cays
Aerial perspectives of the largest Bahamian island and the world-famous chain of tiny tropical cays.
Cordillera Central
The dramatic peaks of the Caribbean's highest mountain range appearing as you cross into Hispaniola.
Santo Domingo Coastline

This is the premier side for photography. For the best water colors over the Bahamas, choose a midday flight when the sun is high. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, look for the 'Tongue of the Ocean'—a deep underwater canyon near Andros Island where the water color shifts abruptly from light teal to dark navy.
