George Town Harbor
Clear views of the capital city and any docked cruise ships immediately after takeoff.
Owen Island
A stunning view of the small, uninhabited islet sitting within the turquoise South Hole Sound.
South Hole Sound
Vibrant coral reefs and shallow crystalline waters that Little Cayman is famous for.
Edward Bodden Landing
One of the Caribbean's most scenic landings, flying mere feet above the southern coastline onto the grass-bordered runway.
The right side is essential for the iconic approach into Little Cayman. Try to book a flight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM for the most vibrant water colors. Keep your camera ready as soon as the island appears on the horizon, as the descent happens very quickly on this short route.

Seven Mile Beach
Aerial view of the world-famous crescent-shaped beach and luxury resorts during the initial climb.
North Sound
A massive shallow lagoon featuring the famous Stingray City sandbar visible from above.
Bloody Bay Wall
As you approach Little Cayman, see the dramatic turquoise-to-deep-blue drop-off of the marine park.
Sit on the left if you want a better look at the North Sound and the northern reefs of both Grand Cayman and Little Cayman. Morning flights are best to avoid the sun's glare on this side.
