Salvador Skyline
Aerial view of the historic Lower City, the Farol da Barra, and the vast All Saints Bay shortly after takeoff.
Morro de São Paulo
The iconic lighthouse and the turquoise waters surrounding the Tinharé and Boipeba islands.
Península de Maraú
The narrow strip of land and the stunning Barra Grande area separating the ocean from Camamu Bay.
Itacaré Jungle Coast
Observation of where the dense Atlantic Forest meets the sea at hidden, rocky cove beaches.
Ilhéus & Cocoa Coast
A clear view of the city of Ilhéus, its winding river estuaries, and the historic port infrastructure.
Discovery Coast
As you approach Porto Seguro, view the historic site where the Portuguese first arrived in Brazil in 1500.
The right side is essential for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the coastline. Afternoon flights (2 PM - 4 PM) provide the best lighting, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, saturating the colors of the ocean and the rainforest.

Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching infinitely toward the horizon.
Coastal Reefs
Vibrant underwater coral formations visible through the turquoise water during the final descent into Porto Seguro.
Ocean Sunrise
On early morning flights, the sun rises directly over the water, creating a stunning golden path on the sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you enjoy sunrises, though glare can be intense. This side is generally quieter visually but offers a great sense of scale of the South Atlantic. It is better for spotting large ships approaching the ports of Salvador or Ilhéus.
