Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Southern Ocean coastline, rugged limestone cliffs, and the pristine wilderness of the South West's national parks.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Denmark Coastline

Aerial views of the iconic turquoise waters and white sands around Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks.

🏞️

Nornalup Inlet

The scenic meeting point of the Frankland River and the Southern Ocean near Walpole.

🏜️

D'Entrecasteaux Dunes

Massive coastal sand dunes and remote wilderness areas inaccessible by most vehicles.

🍷

Blackwood River Valley

Lush green valleys and the winding path of the Blackwood River as it nears the coast.

⚓

Cape Leeuwin

On clear days with a southern flight path, you can spot the tip where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet.

Sit on the left to capture the contrast between the deep blue Southern Ocean and the dense Karri forests. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun. Look out about 20 minutes into the flight for the striking white sand patches of the coastal national parks.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Stirling Range

Distant views of Western Australia's only major mountain range shortly after takeoff from Albany.

🌲

Karri Forests

Extensive views over the towering Karri and Jarrah forests of the Manjimup and Pemberton regions.

🚜

South West Patchwork

A beautiful mosaic of agricultural land, orchards, and vineyards typical of the region's fertile soil.

🏙️

Busselton Jetty

During the descent into BQB, the 1.8km long historic timber jetty is often visible as the plane banks over Geographe Bay.

💧

Lake Muir

A large, shallow freshwater wetland that serves as a vital bird sanctuary in the heart of the forest.

The right side is best for forest enthusiasts and those wanting a view of the Busselton city layout upon arrival. In the afternoon, the golden hour light makes the green forest canopy look spectacular. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for a potential shot of Geographe Bay.
