Which side of the plane to sit from Bata Airport (Bata) to Malabo Airport (Malabo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views, specifically the towering Pico Basile volcano upon approach to Bioko Island and the lush rainforests of the mainland during departure.

Río Muni Canopy
The dense, untouched equatorial rainforest of the mainland extending toward the horizon.
Pico Basile
The massive 3,011-meter volcanic peak that dominates Bioko Island, often visible above the clouds.
Malabo Skyline
Views of the capital city's expanding infrastructure tucked between the mountain and the ocean.
Malabo Harbor
The historic horseshoe-shaped bay and port area during the final descent into SSG.
The right side is the premier choice for this route. Pico Basile is the star attraction; try to book a flight before 10:00 AM, as the mountain is frequently obscured by cloud cover later in the day. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to get an unobstructed view of the volcanic crater and the transition from sea to steep mountain slopes.

Bata Waterfront
Clear views of the Atlantic coastline and the modern promenade of Bata city during takeoff.
Port of Bata
A bird's-eye view of the main commercial shipping hub for the continental region of the country.
Southern Bioko Cliffs
The rugged and inaccessible southern coastline of Bioko Island as the plane crosses the Gulf of Guinea.
Sit on the left side for superior views of the Bata coastline during the climb out. This side is also excellent for observing the deep blue of the Gulf of Guinea. For the best photography, aim for early morning flights when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the coast without glare.
