Search flights from AMQ to MKW
Mount Binaiya
The highest peak in Maluku, located on Seram Island, often poking through the tropical cloud cover.
Seram Island Jungles
Vast stretches of untouched tropical rainforest and deep river valleys crossing the island of Seram.
Arfak Mountains
Dramatic, steep peaks that rise sharply from the coast as you approach Manokwari, reaching heights of nearly 3,000 meters.
Manokwari City View
A panoramic view of the city nestled between the mountains and the sea, including the harbor and Lemon Island.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Sit slightly behind the wing for the best photography of the Arfak Mountains during the descent. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the peaks of Seram Island, as clouds often form by midday.
