Back in the '70s, it was the norm for the BEA Viscount to transit VFR at 500ft in this part of the world (weather permitting). You get a wonderful view of Scapa Flow from 500ft from the flight deck.
Then there was a trip to Barbados I did with BWIA in an A340. It was Christmas Day, and the Captain flew VFR down the west coast of the island at about 1500ft, left wing down all the way so all passengers got a good view.
