Search flights from STG to SNP
Lukanin Bay
Sweeping views of the dark sand beaches which serve as a primary breeding ground for thousands of northern fur seals.
Polovina Hill
An extinct volcanic cinder cone that dominates the eastern landscape, showcasing the island's rugged volcanic origins.
Salt Lagoon
A massive tidal lagoon filled with rare migratory bird species, positioned perfectly for right-side passengers on final approach.
Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts; sit near the window to spot massive seal colonies on the eastern beaches during summer months. Polarized sunglasses will help spot marine life in the dark Bering Sea waters. The best time for this flight is mid-summer for the lush green tundra or late spring for the return of the seal colonies.
Book Hotels in St. Paul Island
Bering Sea Expanse
Vast views of the North Pacific and Bering Sea confluence, frequently featuring dramatic wave patterns and deep blue waters.
North Cliffs
Spectacular vertical basalt cliffs of St. George Island visible immediately after a northbound departure from the island.
St. Paul Village
A clear view of the main settlement, including the iconic red-roofed buildings and the historic Russian Orthodox church upon descent.
This side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is to the West, providing natural light for photos of the village. Keep an eye out for the rugged north cliffs of St. George right after takeoff. During winter, look for the ice edge moving south which creates a mosaic of white and blue in the sea.
