Matthew Town Salt Pans
Aerial view of the massive Morton Salt crystallizers on Inagua, showing distinct white and pink hues.
The Bight of Acklins
A vast, shallow lagoon between Acklins and Crooked Island known for its vibrant neon-blue water.
Great Bahama Bank
Intricate underwater sand dunes and coral heads visible through crystal-clear shallow water.
Exuma Cays Archipelago
The world-famous string of 365 cays, featuring private islands and sandbars stretching toward Nassau.
Nassau Approach
Panoramic views of New Providence Island, including the western coastline and coral reefs before touchdown.
Request a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat blur. For mid-day flights, the sun is high, making the turquoise water colors pop intensely. On the descent into NAS, the left side typically offers a better view of the northern New Providence coastline and the Atlantis resort in the distance if the wind is from the east.

Castle Island Lighthouse
The historic 19th-century lighthouse standing guard at the southern tip of the Acklins island group.
Long Island Cliffs
The dramatic eastern coast of Long Island where high limestone cliffs meet the deep navy Atlantic Ocean.
Cat Island Profile
Distant views of the highest point in the Bahamas, Mount Alvernia, visible on clear days to the east.
Eleuthera Silhouette
The long, thin profile of Eleuthera becomes visible as you approach the northern quadrant of the route.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a unique perspective on the 'Tongue of the Ocean'—the dramatic drop-off where shallow banks transition into deep ocean trenches. Watch for the distinct dark blue line indicating the shelf edge.
