Which side of the plane to sit from Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau) to Governor's Harbour Airport (Governor's Harbor)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the 'Two-Toned Ocean,' where the shallow, neon-turquoise Great Bahama Bank meets the deep sapphire blue of the Exuma Sound, along with the narrowest parts of Eleuthera island.
Search flights from NAS to GHB
The Exuma Sound
Witness the dramatic drop-off where the water shifts instantly from waist-deep turquoise to thousands of feet of dark navy blue.
Middle Ground Sandbanks
Exquisite white sand patterns and tidal channels that look like marble patterns from 10,000 feet.
Eleuthera's Narrow Waist
As the plane crosses the island, see how thin Eleuthera is, with water visible on both sides simultaneously.
Windermere Island
A glimpse of the exclusive celebrity enclave known for its pink sand and private estates just south of the main flight path.
This is the premier side for photography. Request a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow bank. Early morning or late afternoon flights provide softer light that emphasizes the texture of the underwater sand dunes. Keep your camera ready as soon as you reach cruising altitude, as the flight is very short.

Rose Island & Cays
Immediately after takeoff from Nassau, enjoy aerial views of the narrow strip of Rose Island and its surrounding coral reefs.
The North Shore Line
The northern coastline of Eleuthera reveals rugged limestone cliffs and hidden private coves as you approach the destination.
Turquoise Gradients
Vibrant patterns of shallow sandbars create an ever-shifting mosaic of light blue and white across the shallow bank waters.
Sit on the left for a direct view of Nassau's coastline during the initial climb and to see the secluded beaches of Northern Eleuthera during the descent. Best viewed between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is overhead to minimize glare off the ocean surface.
