Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the Nassau coastline, including the iconic Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, followed by a close-up look at the picturesque Berry Islands and the vibrant cruise ship private islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏨

Paradise Island

Get a perfect aerial view of the Atlantis Resort towers and the sprawling waterpark complex.

🏙️

Nassau Waterfront

See the historic downtown area, the cruise ship piers, and the British Colonial Hilton.

🍹

Great Harbour Cay

The largest of the Berry Islands, featuring a beautiful semicircular 'sugar sand' beach.

🚢

CocoCay and Stirrup Cay

Look for the colorful cruise ship private destinations with their tropical waterparks and docks.

On the descent into Freeport, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct line where the turquoise bank meets the deep blue Atlantic. Since the flight is extremely short (approx. 30-40 minutes), ensure you have your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the Nassau highlights pass by quickly.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Great Bahama Bank

Observe the mesmerizing contrast between the shallow, neon-turquoise sandbars and the deep blue channels.

🏝️

Chub Cay

A glimpse of the 'Billfish Capital of the Bahamas' at the southern tip of the Berry Islands chain.

🛥️

The Tongue of the Ocean

See the dramatic underwater drop-off where the shallow bank meets the deep oceanic trench.

🏢

West End of New Providence

View the luxury developments and secluded beaches of Lyford Cay shortly after takeoff.

For the best visibility of the underwater sand patterns and the Great Bahama Bank, choose a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the seabed but not directly overhead. Avoid sunset flights on this side to prevent heavy glare.
