Gulf of California Coast
The stark contrast between the deep blue Sea of Cortez and the golden sands of the Sonoran Desert.
Isla Tiburón
Aerial view of Mexico's largest island, showcasing its rugged, uninhabited terrain and surrounding reefs.
Kino Bay
A clear view of the coastal settlement and its prominent shoreline as you depart the Hermosillo area.
Baja Horizon
The distant, jagged peaks of the Baja California peninsula rising across the water.
Choose a window seat in the middle or front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun sets over the Pacific/Baja side, creating a golden glow on the water. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff for the best views of the coastline.
