Search flights from BMU to DPS
Mount Tambora
The site of the massive 1815 eruption; its enormous 6km wide caldera is visible shortly after takeoff from Bima.
Mount Rinjani
Lombok's towering 3,726-meter volcano, often rising above the clouds with its summit clearly visible.
The Gili Islands
The three tiny tropical specks of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air off the northwest coast of Lombok.
Mount Agung
Bali's highest and holiest peak, providing a majestic backdrop as the plane crosses the Lombok Strait.
Mount Batur
A secondary view of the Batur caldera and its lake further inland on Bali as you approach the airport.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight (before 09:00 AM) when the air is clearest and volcanoes are less likely to be obscured by clouds. Sit a few rows behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Rinjani's peak. Bring a camera with a good zoom for the Tambora caldera.
Book Hotels in DenpasarSaleh Bay Coastline
View of the southern edges of Sumbawa's largest bay shortly after departure.
Indian Ocean Vistas
Expansive views of the deep blue Indian Ocean meeting the rugged southern cliffs of the Lesser Sunda Islands.
South Lombok Beaches
The turquoise waters and white sands of the Kuta Lombok and Tanjung Aan area.
Nusa Penida & Lembongan
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the famous coastal formations of Bali's neighboring islands during descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct northern sun glare. It provides a more relaxed view of the coastline and is particularly scenic during the final approach into DPS over the Bali Mandara Toll Road and Benoa Bay.
