Rock Sound Blue Hole
Look for the unique circular inland blue hole located just north of the airport shortly after takeoff.
Great Bahama Bank
Exquisite patterns of turquoise water and shifting white sandbars visible throughout the mid-flight.
Paradise Island & Atlantis
A clear view of the iconic pink towers of Atlantis and the cruise ship harbor during the descent into Nassau.
Schooner Cays
A cluster of beautiful, uninhabited sand cays located in the shallow waters between Eleuthera and Nassau.
This is the 'scenic' side for Bahamian turquoise colors. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, saturating the colors of the shallow water. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff and 5 minutes before landing for the best landmarks.

Cape Eleuthera
The southern tip of the island features dramatic white sand beaches and luxury marina developments.
Exuma Sound
Witness the stark contrast where the deep, dark blue ocean water meets the pale island shelves.
Southern New Providence
Views of the less-developed southern wetlands and residential areas of the destination island.
Sit on the left for the best views of the deep-sea drop-offs. In the morning, this side is shaded, making it easier to photograph the coastline without cockpit or window reflections.
