Mamberamo River Delta
The intricate, winding meanders of the Mamberamo River, one of the most powerful rivers in Indonesia.
Foya Mountains
A glimpse into the untouched wilderness and mist-covered peaks of the Foya Mountain range.
Sarmi Coastal Strip
The scenic interplay between the dark green jungle canopy and the narrow sandy beaches of Sarmi.
Lake Sentani
The breathtaking sight of Lake Sentani with its many islands and stilt houses during the final approach.
The right side is superior for inland scenery. For the best experience, try to fly in the mid-morning when clouds are less likely to obscure the mountain peaks. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the iconic views of Lake Sentani's unique shape and vibrant local villages.
