Jacmel & Southern Haiti

Île-à-Vache
A beautiful, green satellite island off the coast of Les Cayes, Haiti, known for its pristine bays.
Blue Mountains
Jamaica's highest peaks, often shrouded in mist, provide a stunning backdrop as you cross the island's coast.
Kingston Harbour
One of the world's largest natural harbors, featuring the historic Palisadoes strip and Port Royal.
The right side is significantly more scenic as the flight path usually hugs the southern coast of Hispaniola. Sit here to see the diverse landscapes of both the Dominican Republic and Haiti. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane, offering perfectly illuminated views of the Haitian mountains and the lush Jamaican coastline. During the final approach to KIN, you will have a front-row seat to the historic Port Royal and the narrow spit of land protecting the harbor.
