Mount Yasur Distance View
The world's most accessible active volcano can often be seen venting steam in the distance towards the southeast of Tanna.
Central Tanna Highlands
Rugged, mountainous terrain covered in dense tropical vegetation that defines the interior of the island.
Ash Plains
Unique barren landscape created by volcanic activity, contrasting sharply with the surrounding greenery.
Pacific Horizon
Sweeping views of the vast Pacific Ocean as you descend toward the island's southern reaches.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Yasur's ash plume in the distance. The morning sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Tanna mountains beautifully, providing great contrast for photography. This is a very short flight, so have your camera ready immediately after takeoff.

Aniwa Shoreline
A final look at the pristine white sand beaches and low-lying coral formations of Aniwa upon departure.
Whitegrass Reefs
Vibrant turquoise reef structures and coral gardens visible through the clear water as you approach the runway.
Western Tanna Coast
Dramatic limestone cliffs and rocky outcrops along the island's western edge near the airport.
The right side is ideal for capturing the turquoise transition from deep ocean to shallow reef. Since the flight is at a low altitude (usually in a small Twin Otter), you can see individual waves and coral heads. Afternoon flights on this side avoid the direct glare of the sun over the water.
