The Narrows
The two-mile wide channel separating the islands, revealing distinct coral reef patterns from above.
Booby Island
A rugged, uninhabited rock formation in the middle of the channel that serves as a bird sanctuary.
Great Salt Pond
A large, shimmering natural salt pond on the St. Kitts peninsula with unique color variations.
Southeast Peninsula
The winding, hilly landscape of southern St. Kitts with its secluded coves and hidden beaches.
Basseterre Cityscape
The colorful capital of St. Kitts and its busy harbor as the plane makes its final descent into SKB.
This is the prime side for photography. The flight is exceptionally short (often under 10 minutes), so have your camera ready before takeoff. You will get a perfect aerial view of the iconic 'S' curve of the Southeast Peninsula road. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the St. Kitts coastline.

Nevis Peak
The massive, often cloud-shrouded volcanic peak that dominates the center of Nevis.
Oualie Beach
A view of the northern coast of Nevis and the clear turquoise waters of Cades Bay.
Cockleshell Bay
A popular beach at the tip of St. Kitts known for its vibrant atmosphere and views back to Nevis.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea to the west as you cross the channel.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a great 'goodbye' view of Nevis as you depart from NEV, especially the lush slopes of the volcano. Keep an eye out for sea turtles in the shallow reefs near the shore during the low-altitude climb.
