Papa Sound
The narrow stretch of water separating the two islands, often appearing bright turquoise on sunny days.
Knap of Howar
The oldest preserved stone houses in Northern Europe, dating from 3700 BC, visible just after takeoff.
Holm of Papa
A small, uninhabited islet to the east featuring a massive prehistoric chambered cairn.
Pierowall Bay
The scenic natural harbor of Westray comes into focus as the aircraft banks for its final approach.
Given the flight time is often under 90 seconds, you must have your camera ready before takeoff. Sit on the left to see the prehistoric landmarks. Morning light is best for capturing the clarity of the water in the sound without glare from the Atlantic.

Expansive views of the open ocean where the North Sea meets the Atlantic currents.
St Boniface Kirk
A beautifully restored 12th-century church situated right on the rugged Westray coastline.
Westray Crofts
The geometric patchwork of emerald green farming fields that define the Westray landscape.
Coastal Cliffs
Watch for the dramatic sea cliffs near the northern tip, home to thousands of nesting seabirds.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer the dramatic, crashing waves of the Atlantic. Look for the white surf against the dark rocks of Westray. Since the Britten-Norman Islander is small, you can often see out both sides, but the right offers better sunset views on evening hops.
