Treasure Cay
One of the world's most beautiful beaches, featuring a perfect white sand crescent and crystal-clear water.
Little Bahama Bank
Spectacular aerial views of shallow sandbars and underwater patterns in shades of neon blue and teal.
Kennedy Space Center
On a clear day, you can spot the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads at Cape Canaveral.
St. Johns River
The winding, dark waters of Florida's longest river surrounded by dense marshlands and cypress swamps.
Lake Nona Medical City
The modern, master-planned community and innovative architecture just south of Orlando International Airport.
The right side is the 'money side' for Bahamas photography. Aim for an afternoon flight to avoid direct sun glare. Pay close attention about 10-15 minutes before landing; the contrast between the wild marshes of the St. Johns River and the rapid development of Lake Nona is striking.

Hope Town & Elbow Cay
Visible shortly after departure, look for the iconic candy-striped lighthouse and the protected harbor.
The Tongue of the Ocean
Witness the dramatic drop-off where shallow turquoise flats meet the deep indigo of the Atlantic.
Sebastian Inlet
As you reach the Florida coast, see the vibrant turquoise waters of the inlet and the Indian River Lagoon.
Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge
Spot the first National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S. located within the Indian River.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the transition from the coral reef ecosystems to the deep Gulf Stream. As you descend into MCO, you will get a great view of the suburban sprawl and numerous small lakes of Central Florida.
