GHB → NAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Governor's Harbour Airport (Governor's Harbor) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the northern Eleuthera cays and a front-row seat to the iconic Atlantis resort and Nassau's coastline upon arrival.
Current Cut
Observe the swirling turquoise currents passing through the narrow gap between North Eleuthera and Current Island.
Rose Island
A long, thin chain of uninhabited cays and private estates stretching toward New Providence.
Paradise Island
Unrivaled views of the massive Atlantis resort complex, including its water parks and iconic Royal Towers.
Nassau Harbor
Watch massive cruise ships docked at Prince George Wharf and the bustle of the maritime traffic below.
Downtown Nassau
The vibrant rooftops and colonial grid of the Bahamian capital as the plane descends into NAS.
The right side is essential for the best views of the Nassau approach. As the flight is very short (approx. 20-30 minutes), secure a window seat immediately behind the wing to avoid engine heat blur during photography of the resorts.
Eleuthera Shoreline
Aerial views of the narrow central spine of Eleuthera with its famous pink sand beaches and jagged limestone cliffs.
Tarpum Bay
A bird's-eye view of this historic fishing village characterized by its colorful waterfront and colonial architecture.
The Exuma Sound
The dramatic 'Tongue of the Ocean' where shallow turquoise banks drop off into 6,000 feet of deep indigo water.
Coral Formations
Intricate patch reefs visible through the crystal-clear shallow waters of the Great Bahama Bank.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights, which highlights the texture of the reef systems. This side is also excellent for spotting the stark contrast between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea colors.
