Which side of the plane to sit from Exuma International Airport (Great Exuma) to Governor's Harbour Airport (Governor's Harbor)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the world-famous Exuma Cays and the mesmerizing turquoise patterns of the Great Bahama Bank.
Exuma Cays Chain
A stunning sequence of emerald islands stretching toward the horizon.
The Sandbars
Intricate swirling patterns of white sand and shallow turquoise water unique to the area.
Staniel Cay
View the vibrant yachting hub and the surrounding crystal clear lagoons.
Pipe Creek
Famous for its intricate and photogenic sandbar formations during low tide.
Marine Parks
Protected reef systems visible through the incredibly clear, shallow water.
Sit on the left for the most iconic Bahamian views. Mid-day flights (10 AM - 2 PM) are superior as the high sun illuminates the sandbars with maximum intensity. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure from GGT as the best views appear within minutes.
The Exuma Sound
The deep, dark blue waters of the sound offer a striking contrast to the shallow banks.
Eleuthera Coastline
The long, thin silhouette of Eleuthera becomes visible during the final approach.
Atlantic Vantage
Uninterrupted views of the vast Atlantic Ocean and its crashing windward waves.
The right side is best for those who enjoy the dramatic contrast between the deep ocean and the island fringes. As you descend into Governor's Harbour, this side offers the best perspective of the island's narrow geography and rocky eastern shore.
