The right side offers unparalleled views of the shallow turquoise waters and white sandbars of the Berry Islands, along with a stunning aerial view of the Atlantis resort and Paradise Island during the final descent into Nassau.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌿

The Marls of Abaco

A vast wilderness of mangroves and winding turquoise water channels visible immediately to the west of the island.

🚢

Castaway Cay

Disney's private island, identifiable by its pristine beaches and cruise ship pier.

🏖️

Berry Islands Chain

A string of thirty cays offering some of the most spectacular 'sandbar' views in the entire Bahamas.

🏨

Great Stirrup Cay

The northernmost of the Berry Islands, often busy with cruise ships and beach activity.

🏰

Paradise Island

Home to the massive Atlantis resort, its iconic towers are easily spotted on the right during the approach.

🏙️

Nassau Harbor

Views of the busy cruise port and the colonial architecture of downtown Nassau before landing.

The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Sit here for the best views of the Berry Islands and Paradise Island. Choose a seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction of the shallow sandbars.

Left Side Highlights
8.0
🌊

Pelican Cays Land and Sea Park

Extensive coral reef systems and small uninhabited islands visible shortly after takeoff from Marsh Harbour.

⚓

Little Harbour

A picturesque, nearly landlocked harbor known for its artistic community and turquoise lagoon.

🔦

Hole in the Wall

The southernmost tip of Great Abaco featuring a historic lighthouse and dramatic limestone cliffs.

🐋

Providence Channel

The deep blue waters of the channel where the depth drops significantly, offering a sharp color contrast with the banks.

🏝️

Rose Island

A narrow, elongated island near Nassau surrounded by vibrant reefs and clear swimming waters.

For the best visibility of the reefs at Pelican Cays, a morning flight is recommended when the sun is behind you. Have your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for the Abaco coastline.
