Mount Pelée
The iconic and historic volcano on the northern tip of Martinique, often shrouded in light clouds.
Morne Diablotins
Dominica's highest peak, surrounded by some of the most pristine rainforest in the Caribbean.
Soufrière Hills
The active volcano on Montserrat, providing views of the abandoned capital, Plymouth, and the vast ash deposits.
Les Saintes
A group of picturesque volcanic islands just south of Guadeloupe known for their turquoise bays.
Redonda
A small, uninhabited, and steep rocky island rising dramatically out of the Caribbean Sea.
Sit on the left (Port side) for the best volcanic views. Morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the green western slopes of the islands. Keep an eye out specifically for the Montserrat exclusion zone, which looks like a moonscape compared to the surrounding greenery.

Fort-de-France
A clear view of Martinique's capital city and its bustling harbor as you transit north.
Atlantic Windward Coast
The rugged eastern shorelines of the islands where the Atlantic surf crashes against limestone cliffs.
Grande-Terre
The flatter, eastern wing of Guadeloupe, famous for its white sand beaches and coral reefs.
Marie-Galante
A perfectly round, flat island south of Guadeloupe known for its traditional sugar mills.
English Harbour
During the descent into Antigua, look for the historic Nelson's Dockyard and the superyachts in the bay.
The right side is excellent for seeing the flatter, coral-based parts of the islands like Grande-Terre and Marie-Galante. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side will be shaded, providing a more comfortable viewing experience without the glare of the setting sun.
