Adelaide Coastline
Striking views of West Beach, Henley Beach, and Grange as the aircraft climbs over the Gulf St Vincent.
Yorke Peninsula
The diverse agricultural mosaic of the peninsula, featuring golden wheat fields and pink salt lakes.
Spencer Gulf
A massive expanse of clear blue water separating the two major peninsulas of South Australia.
Sir Joseph Banks Group
A cluster of approximately 20 islands and reefs that are a highlight of the descent into Port Lincoln.
Port Lincoln Town
Excellent views of the township, the massive grain silos, and the shipping terminal before touchdown.
The right side is generally the most scenic for this short hop. Look for the 'patchwork quilt' effect of the Yorke Peninsula's farms mid-flight. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Sir Joseph Banks Group of islands, though glare can be a factor. This side typically offers the best view of the Port Lincoln town center during the standard landing approach.

Adelaide Cityscape
Panoramic views of the CBD and the lush Adelaide Hills immediately after takeoff if the flight departs towards the east.
Troubridge Island
A distinct sandy cay featuring a historic lighthouse located off the southern tip of the Yorke Peninsula.
Southern Ocean Horizon
The vast, deep blue meeting point where the Spencer Gulf opens up into the Great Australian Bight.
Boston Bay
Aerial views of one of the world's largest natural harbors and the bustling Port Lincoln marina.
Aquaculture Pens
Look for the circular tuna and kingfish farms that dot the waters near the Eyre Peninsula.
Choose this side for a chance to spot Kangaroo Island to the far south on exceptionally clear days. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the turquoise waters of the gulfs. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of the tuna pens during the final approach.
