Freeport South Shore
Immediate views of Grand Bahama's southern beaches and the industrial harbor infrastructure shortly after takeoff.
Stirrup Cays
The northern tip of the Berry Islands, featuring popular cruise line private islands with vibrant turquoise lagoons.
Great Bahama Bank
Mesmerizing patterns of shallow sandbars and shifting teal waters as the plane crosses the edge of the bank.
Paradise Island
A clear view of the massive Atlantis resort complex and the Cabbage Beach coastline before touchdown.
Nassau Harbor
Aerial view of the cruise ship terminal, downtown Nassau, and the iconic bridges connecting the two islands.
Sit behind the wing for unobstructed photos of the Berry Islands. Morning flights (8 AM - 10 AM) are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the vibrant turquoise water without creating glare on the window. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes into the flight for the best reef patterns.
