Sea of Cortez
Stunning views of the deep blue Gulf of California as the flight moves northwest parallel to the coast.
Coastal Estuaries
Intricate labyrinth of mangroves and water channels near the Topolobampo and Navachiste bays.
Pacific Sunset
On late afternoon flights, the sun sets directly over the water, creating vibrant orange and purple reflections.
Sonoran Coastline
The stark contrast where the arid Sonoran desert sands meet the turquoise waters of the gulf.
Yavaros Lagoon
A significant wetland area known for its unique circular shapes and shallow, reflective waters.
Book an afternoon flight to witness the sun setting over the Gulf of California. A window seat just behind the wing is ideal to capture the coastline without engine obstruction. On clear days, you may even spot the distant outlines of the Baja California peninsula.
