Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the southern tip of Eleuthera, the intricate sand patterns of the Schooner Cays, and the stunning transition between the shallow banks and deep ocean.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐚

Great Bahama Bank

Stunning white sand bores and shallow turquoise waters that create marble-like patterns on the seafloor.

🚤

Schooner Cays

Unique tidal sand formations that are world-renowned for their beauty and geometric shapes.

⚓

Cape Eleuthera

The southern hook of Eleuthera island, featuring marinas and distinct coral reef systems.

💡

Lighthouse Point

The rugged southern tip of Eleuthera, known for its limestone cliffs and secluded pink sand beaches.

🌊

Exuma Sound

The vast, deep blue expanse that separates Eleuthera from the Exuma chain to the south.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. Midday flights are best as the overhead sun maximizes the vibrance of the turquoise water. Polarized sunglasses will help you see through the water surface to the reefs below.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Nassau Skyline

Aerial views of the capital city and the iconic Atlantis resort on Paradise Island shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Rose Island

A beautiful chain of narrow cays and private beaches stretching east from New Providence.

🌊

The Tongue of the Ocean

Witness the dramatic color shift from turquoise to ink-blue as the flight crosses the deep underwater canyon.

🏘️

Arthur's Town

A bird's-eye view of the northern Cat Island settlements and the salt ponds near the airport.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for capturing the sprawling resorts of Nassau and the northernmost reaches of the Exuma Sound drop-offs.
