The right side is generally better for seeing the dramatic 'Table Island' shape of Futuna as you approach. Given the low altitude of this flight, watch for marine life such as sea turtles or rays in the shallow reefs near Aniwa. Polarized sunglasses will significantly enhance your view of the coral formations below.
