Paradise Island & Atlantis
Immediately after takeoff, see the massive pink towers of Atlantis and the sprawling water parks.
Rose Island
A narrow, picturesque island known for its secluded beaches and vibrant coral reefs visible through the water.
Current Cut
A narrow passage between Current Island and Eleuthera where the water changes color rapidly due to tidal flow.
Porgee Rocks
Small, jagged rocky outcrops surrounded by a mosaic of shallow white sandbars.
Egg Island
An uninhabited island surrounded by some of the clearest, most shallow neon-blue waters in the archipelago.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the departure from Nassau to catch the best view of the Atlantis resort. Midday flights are superior as the sun is high, eliminating shadows and making the turquoise water colors pop with maximum saturation. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the NAS to ELH flight is very short, often under 20 minutes.

Vast stretches of shallow sea featuring incredible gradients of 'Bahama Blue' and intricate sand patterns.
Yellow Bank
An area famous for its shallow sandbars and scattered coral heads that look like dark spots on a bright blue canvas.
Royal Island

The right side is ideal for photographers interested in abstract water patterns and the sheer scale of the Bahama Banks. If you are flying in the late afternoon, the right side will be the 'sunny' side, which can cause significant glare on the window; try to shade your lens with a dark cloth or clothing to capture the water clarity without reflections.
