Punta Cana Resorts
Aerial view of the massive resort complexes and golf courses lining the Bavaro coastline.
Río Chavón
The dramatic river gorge near La Romana, famous as a filming location for major Hollywood movies.
Sugar Cane Fields

San Pedro de Macorís
The historic port city and its iconic sugar mills visible as you pass the midway point.
Boca Chica Lagoon
A stunning, shallow turquoise lagoon protected by a natural coral reef just before landing at SDQ.
Sit on the right for the best landmark spotting. This is a very short flight (approx. 30-45 mins), so stay alert immediately after takeoff. In the afternoon, the sun will be on the left (south), meaning the right side will have better, glare-free lighting for photography of the coastline and sugar plantations.

A glimpse of the famous tropical island and protected national park to the south shortly after takeoff.
Coral Reef Formations

The left side is best for those who enjoy the vastness of the ocean. During morning flights, you will have the sun at your back, providing excellent lighting for the turquoise waters near the shore. Look out for Isla Catalinita and the larger Isla Saona during the first 10 minutes of the flight.
