Lake Sentani
Visible immediately after takeoff, this sprawling lake features 22 unique islands and emerald green hills.
Lorentz River Deltas
Massive, silt-heavy rivers snaking through the dense Papuan rainforest forming complex oxbow patterns.
Arafura Coastline
The stark transition from the muddy, swampy wetlands of southern Papua to the deep blue sea.
Buton Island
Rugged, limestone-heavy landscapes and white sandy shorelines of the Southeast Sulawesi province.
Tanjung Bira
On final descent, look for the brilliant white sands and turquoise waters of Sulawesi's southern tip.
Sit on the left for the iconic view of Lake Sentani. Morning flights are preferred as clouds typically build up over the Papuan rainforest by midday, obscuring the river deltas and the southern wetlands.

Cyclops Mountains
Dramatic, steep-sided mountain range that rises sharply from the sea right near Jayapura.
Cenderawasih Bay
Views of the vast 'Great Bay' of Papua, famous for its whale shark populations and coral reefs.
Maluku Archipelago
Distant volcanic peaks of the Spice Islands emerging from the Banda Sea during the mid-flight segment.
Gulf of Bone
A massive gulf with deep blue waters separating the southeast and south peninsulas of Sulawesi.
Makassar Urban Area
The dense urban sprawl and busy shipping lanes of Losari Beach as you approach UPG.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare from the south. Keep an eye out for the Bird's Neck region of Papua and the remote volcanic islands of the Maluku Sea.
