KIN โ†’ GEO

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Guyanese landscape, including the massive Essequibo River system and the dense rainforests of the Guiana Shield upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿšข

Kingston Harbor

Excellent views of the Palisadoes tombolo and one of the world's largest natural harbors on takeoff.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

ABC Islands

Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may spot the arid landscapes of Aruba, Bonaire, or Curaรงao.

๐Ÿ

Essequibo River

The massive, island-studded Essequibo River, which is so wide it dominates the landscape during the descent.

๐ŸŒณ

Guiana Shield Rainforest

Endless, pristine canopy views of some of the oldest geological formations on Earth.

๐Ÿงฑ

Georgetown Sea Wall

The iconic Dutch-built sea defense system that protects the city, which lies below sea level.

Choose the right side for the approach into GEO to see the Demerara River and the floating bridge. Afternoon flights offer stunning 'golden hour' lighting over the rainforest, but be aware of tropical convective clouds which often build up late in the day.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Blue Mountains

Aerial views of Jamaica's highest peaks and coffee-growing regions shortly after departure.

๐ŸŒŠ

Caribbean Sea

Vast stretches of turquoise water transitioning to deep indigo as the plane crosses the Caribbean basin.

๐ŸŒฟ

Orinoco Delta

The intricate, fan-like network of the Orinoco River's distributaries along the Venezuelan coast.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Shell Beach

Guyana's unique 90-mile stretch of coastline known for its shell-covered sands and turtle nesting sites.

Sit on the left for the best morning light if traveling south, as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look for the distinct line where the brown, sediment-rich river waters meet the blue Atlantic Ocean near the South American coast.
