Mount Kanlaon
Stunning views of the highest peak in the Visayas, an active stratovolcano known for its prominent crater.
Central Panay Range
The rugged mountain spine of Panay Island visible after crossing the Guimaras Strait.
Honda Bay Islets
Crystal clear views of Luli Island, Cowrie Island, and Starfish Island during the descent into Puerto Princesa.
Palawan Central Range
The dense, primary rainforests and limestone peaks that define the unique topography of Palawan island.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent. As the plane approaches Palawan, you will fly directly over Honda Bay; the view of the small islands and coral reefs is world-class. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind or above the plane, highlighting the vibrant greens and blues below.

Southern Cebu Coastline
Detailed views of the coastline south of Mactan, including residential areas and tropical beach resorts.
Mount Talinis
Visibility of the 'Cuernos de Negros' or Horns of Negros, a complex volcano near the southern tip of the island.
Sulu Sea Expanse
A wide-angle view of the deep blue Sulu Sea, often reflecting a vibrant shimmer during mid-day flights.
Puerto Princesa Bay
Aerial perspective of the city's natural harbor and the urban sprawl of Palawan's capital during the final turn.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight to capture the Puerto Princesa city center as the plane aligns with the runway. It is generally a quieter visual route compared to the right.
