Massif du Nord
Dramatic views of Haiti's highest mountain ranges extending toward the northern horizon.
Cap-Haïtien & Labadee
Bird's-eye view of the historic northern city and the famous Royal Caribbean private resort peninsula.
Île de la Tortue
The legendary Tortuga Island, a former pirate stronghold, visible just off the northern coast.
The Caicos Bank
Stunning transition from deep ocean blue to the neon turquoise of the shallow sand banks.
Providenciales Shoreline
Excellent views of Chalk Sound and the luxury villas along the south coast during the descent.
This is the preferred side for photography. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the turquoise waters of the Caicos Bank. Look out for the 'drop-off' where the reef meets the deep Atlantic trench, creating a sharp color contrast from dark indigo to bright teal.
