Cape Santa Maria
The northern tip of Long Island features stunning white cliffs and some of the world's most beautiful beaches.
Exuma Cays Chain
A breathtaking string of emerald islands surrounded by sapphire waters extending as far as the eye can see.
Paradise Island
As you descend, look for the massive Atlantis Resort towers and the luxury estates lining the coast.
Nassau Harbor
Excellent views of the cruise ship terminal and the historic downtown Nassau colonial architecture during the final approach.
Rose Island
A long, narrow stretch of beach and reef just east of Nassau, popular for boating and snorkeling.
The right side is premier for the approach into NAS. To capture the best photos of the Exuma Cays, aim for a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the reefs but not directly overhead. During the final 5 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the iconic view of the Atlantis resort.

Great Bahama Bank
Witness the vast, shallow turquoise waters that create a surreal marble-like pattern across the sea floor.
Exuma Sound
Look out for the dramatic contrast where the shallow bank drops off into the deep blue of the Exuma Sound.
Sand Bores
Observe the intricate underwater sand dunes shaped by tidal currents, visible through the crystal-clear water.
Norman's Cay
Spot this famous island, once a hub for private aviation, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and sandbars.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the sun's glare over the water. Watch for the 'Tongue of the Ocean' as you approach New Providence, where the water color shifts abruptly from neon turquoise to navy blue.
