Hewandorra to Scarborough is 179 miles (288 km), a flight of about 40 minutes.
While takeoff offers the dramatic Pitons on the right, the landing approach provides more sustained and varied scenery—the Northern Range, Bocas Islands, and the inter-island strait are visually compelling. Left seats capture the best of the approach sequence.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the open Caribbean Sea between the two islands. At cruise altitude (around 15,000-20,000 feet), the midpoint offers views of the deep blue ocean with minimal landmarks. The Grenadines chain lies to the south and west of the direct route but may be visible as distant low islands on clear days. The flight passes over the Dragon's Mouth strait separating Trinidad and Tobago, with the Northern Range becoming increasingly prominent as the aircraft descends toward Crown Point.
