Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Exuma Cays and the vibrant turquoise waters of the Great Bahama Bank throughout the flight.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
πŸ–οΈ

Exuma Cays

A spectacular string of over 360 small islands and cays with world-famous sandbars and clear water.

πŸ’Ž

Great Bahama Bank

Expansive stretches of shallow, neon-turquoise water that create intricate marble-like patterns from above.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Norman's Cay

Look for the famous sunken drug runner plane in the shallow waters near the southern tip of the island.

🐚

The Bight of Acklins

A massive, shallow lagoon protected by the surrounding islands, teeming with marine life and bonefish flats.

The right side is essential for seeing the Exumas. Aim for a flight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is high, as this maximizes the vibrancy of the turquoise water. Seats slightly behind the wing are best on the typical turboprop aircraft used for this route to avoid engine obstruction.

🌊

Tongue of the Ocean

View the dramatic transition where shallow turquoise banks drop off into the deep indigo of the Atlantic.

πŸ”οΈ

Long Island Cliffs

Rugged eastern coastline of Long Island featuring limestone cliffs and crashing Atlantic waves.

🏝️

Crooked Island Passage

A deep-water channel historically used by sailing ships, separating the central and southern Bahamas.

Choose the left side if you enjoy deep ocean horizons and want to see the rugged, windward side of the out-islands. Morning flights will have the sun behind you, providing better lighting for photography without glare.
