Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Gunung Mulu massif and the stark limestone cliffs of the National Park during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Bandar Seri Begawan

Aerial view of the Brunei capital and the sprawling Kampong Ayer water village immediately after takeoff.

🐍

Limbang River

Deeply meandering river systems that create natural borders between Brunei and the Sarawak enclave of Limbang.

⛰️

Gunung Mulu Peak

The massive sandstone peak of Mount Mulu rising 2,376 meters above the rainforest floor.

🏢

Melinau Limestone

Stunning white limestone cliffs and karst formations that define the unique topography of Mulu National Park.

The flight is extremely short (under 35 minutes), so choose your seat early. The left side is superior for seeing the dramatic contrast between the flat coastal plains and the sudden rise of the Mulu mountains. Try to book a morning flight, as clouds frequently obscure the mountain peaks by mid-afternoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

South China Sea

Distant views of the coastline and the blue waters of the South China Sea during the initial climb.

🌳

Borneo Canopy

An endless emerald sea of dense tropical rainforest stretching toward the horizon.

🛶

Baram River

The massive, silt-heavy Baram River winding through the jungle like a giant brown serpent.

While less mountainous than the left, the right side offers excellent views of the vastness of the Sarawak interior. Watch for the log ponds and small longhouse settlements along the riverbanks. Polarizing sunglasses will help you see through the tropical haze more clearly.
