Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular view of the rugged mainland of Papua, including the vast Mamberamo River basin and the dense rainforests of the Foya Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐍

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Pacific Horizon

Unobstructed views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the northern horizon.

🏝️

Biak Coastline

Striking views of coral reefs and the turquoise waters surrounding Biak Island immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Cyclops Mountains

The dramatic, steep slopes of the Cycloop Mountains as you approach Jayapura from the north.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to get a clear view of the rugged northern coastline and the massive Pacific expanse. Look for the distinct breaking waves against the rocky shorelines near Jayapura.
