Mahe Northern Coast
Dramatic views of the lush green mountains meeting the deep blue Indian Ocean immediately after takeoff.
Morne Seychellois
A clear view of the highest peak in the archipelago, often shrouded in light mist.
Cousin and Cousine Islands
Two pristine granite islands and bird sanctuaries that appear just before the descent into Praslin.
Silhouette Island
Visible on the distant horizon, this mountainous island creates a striking profile against the sea.
Sit in the front or rear of the small Twin Otter aircraft to avoid the wing and engine blocking your view. Morning flights (08:00-10:00) provide the best sunlight for photography, as the sun is behind you, making the island colors pop.

Ste Anne Marine Park
A cluster of islands featuring vibrant turquoise lagoons and shallow coral reefs visible right after rotation.
Mamelles Island
A small, desolate rocky outcrop with a historic lighthouse sitting alone in the middle of the channel.
Grand Anse Beach
The long, white sandy coastline of Praslin comes into full view during the final approach phase.
St. Anne Channel
Watch the white wakes of speedboats traveling between the islands through the crystal-clear water.
The right side is ideal for spotting marine life such as rays or turtles in the shallow waters near the Mahe coastline. Since the flight is extremely short (15-20 minutes), ensure your camera settings are ready before boarding to capture the rapidly changing landscape.
