Search flights from SVD to SLU
La Soufrière Volcano
The massive active volcano dominating the northern end of Saint Vincent, visible shortly after takeoff.
The Pitons
Incredible views of Gros Piton and Petit Piton as you fly north along the St. Lucian coast.
Soufrière Town
The colorful coastal town nestled at the base of the mountains and lush rainforest.
Marigot Bay
A bird's-eye view of the narrow, palm-fringed inlet known as one of the Caribbean's most beautiful.
Castries Harbor
The final approach provides a clear look at the capital city and its vibrant port area.
The right side is essential for this route. Since the flight is extremely short (often under 25 minutes), be ready with your camera as soon as you depart St. Vincent. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the green slopes of the Pitons, while midday flights highlight the vibrant blue and turquoise of the coastal reefs.

Caribbean Horizon
Expansive views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea stretching toward the western horizon.
Evening Glow
Ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sun setting over the open water without glare.
Maritime Traffic
Spot cruise ships and sailing vessels approaching the St. Lucian coastline from the west.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. While less scenic than the right, it offers a more relaxing, open-ocean view and better lighting for photos of the western horizon.
