LYB → CYB
Which side of the plane to sit from Edward Bodden Airfield (Little Cayman) to Gerrard Smith International Airport (Cayman Brac)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the iconic Owen Island and the shallow turquoise South Hole Sound before showcasing the dramatic vertical cliffs of The Bluff on Cayman Brac.
Owen Island
A stunning view of the small, uninhabited islet sitting inside the protective reef of Little Cayman.
The Bluff
The massive limestone plateau that rises from sea level to 140 feet, defining the landscape of Cayman Brac.
South Hole Sound
Shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters perfect for spotting marine life from the air.
West End Point
The western tip of Cayman Brac where the airport runway begins right at the edge of the sea.
The right side is essential for seeing the elevation change of the islands. As the flight is very short (10-15 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the limestone cliffs of The Bluff.
Bloody Bay Wall
A glimpse of the world-famous marine park where the reef drops off into deep sapphire blue.
Booby Pond Reserve
A sprawling wetland area near the LYB runway home to a massive colony of Red-footed Boobies.
Stake Bay
The central hub of Cayman Brac featuring government buildings and the local museum along the coast.
Spot Bay
A picturesque settlement at the northeastern tip of Cayman Brac where the land narrows.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers the best view of the deep ocean drop-offs and the northern settlements of Cayman Brac. Look for the distinct color change in the water where the reef ends.
