Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers unparalleled views of the rugged South Australian coastline, including the deep turquoise waters of the Great Australian Bight and the intricate inlets of the Eyre Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Great Australian Bight

The dramatic meeting point of the Southern Ocean and the Australian continent shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Venus Bay

A stunningly shaped natural harbor with intricate sand patterns and bright blue shallow waters.

🧗

Eyre Peninsula Cliffs

The limestone cliffs near Elliston provide a stark, beautiful contrast between the land and the deep sea.

🏝️

Kangaroo Island

On clear days, the northern coastline of Australia's third-largest island is visible to the south across the water.

🚤

Gulf St Vincent

The final water crossing before touchdown, often filled with small boats and shimmering reflections.

🌅

Fleurieu Peninsula

Views of the popular beaches and vineyards extending south from the metropolitan area.

The right side is the 'coastal side' for this south-easterly flight. Afternoon flights are spectacular as the sun illuminates the limestone cliffs of the Eyre Peninsula. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best coastal formations.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Eyre Peninsula Wheatbelt

Expansive views of the golden agricultural heartland and salt lakes typical of rural South Australia.

🚢

Upper Spencer Gulf

Aerial perspective of the narrow waters leading toward Port Augusta and the industrial landscape of the north.

⛰️

Mount Lofty Ranges

The rolling green ridges that define the eastern border of the Adelaide plains, visible during the descent.

🏙️

Adelaide City Grid

A clear view of Colonel Light's famous city layout and the surrounding Park Lands upon final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare and to capture the best views of the Adelaide CBD and the Adelaide Hills as the plane banks for landing. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the city grid.
