The Exuma Bank
A mesmerizing display of shifting sand bars and underwater dunes in various shades of electric blue and teal.
Northern Exuma Cays
Aerial views of the northernmost islands in the Exuma chain, including Ship Channel Cay and Allen's Cay.
Mt. Alvernia
The highest point in the Bahamas (206 ft), topped by The Hermitage, a small stone monastery visible on the approach to New Bight.
New Bight Bay
A sweeping view of the crescent-shaped bay at Cat Island with its shallow, calm waters during the final descent.
For the best photography of the 'sand veins,' book a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the seabed but not directly overhead. Request a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the vastness of the Bahama Bank.

Nassau Coastline
Detailed views of Paradise Island, the Atlantis resort, and the eastern beaches of New Providence during the initial climb.
Rose Island
A long, thin strip of white sand and crystal-clear water situated just east of Nassau.
Exuma Sound
The dramatic contrast where the shallow, light-blue banks drop off into the deep sapphire waters of the sound.
Lighthouse Point
The southern tip of Eleuthera, featuring rugged limestone cliffs and the famous pink-sand beaches near the point.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun reflecting off the water. This side provides a better view of the southern Eleuthera coastline before the final turn toward Cat Island.
