Search flights from PUJ to ANU
Mona Island
The 'Galapagos of the Caribbean,' a rugged limestone plateau rising from the sea between DR and PR.
St. Kitts and Nevis
Dramatic views of Mount Liamuiga and the perfectly conical Nevis Peak separated by 'The Narrows'.
Montserrat
Breathtaking views of the Soufrière Hills volcano, the abandoned capital Plymouth, and extensive ash flows.
Redonda
A massive, uninhabited volcanic rock island jutting out of the ocean between Nevis and Montserrat.
Jolly Harbour
As you descend into Antigua, view the turquoise waters and luxury yacht marinas of the west coast.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' Keep your camera ready for the approach to Montserrat, as the contrast between the lush green and the grey volcanic ash is striking. For the best lighting, mid-day or afternoon flights provide the best illumination of the western slopes of the Leeward Islands. Watch for the 'Green Flash' at sunset if your flight timing aligns with arrival.

Bávaro Coastline
Aerial views of the white sand beaches and coral reefs of Punta Cana immediately after takeoff.
Mona Passage
The deep blue waters where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean, often showing distinct current lines.
San Juan Skyline
The historic forts of Old San Juan and the modern metropolitan area of Puerto Rico's capital.
British Virgin Islands
A dense archipelago featuring Tortola and the famous rock formations of Virgin Gorda.
Anguilla and St. Martin
Distant views of the flat limestone terrain of Anguilla and the hilly landscape of St. Martin.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the sprawling urban layout of San Juan and the intricate network of the British Virgin Islands. Morning flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun reflecting off the water. Look for the white 'V' shapes of sailboats navigating the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
