Which side of the plane to sit from Rar Gwamar Airport (Dobo) to Dumatumbun Airport (Langgur-Kei Islands)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the Dobo port town upon departure and the dramatic mountain ridges of Kei Besar island during the approach to Langgur.
Dobo Harbor
Excellent views of the busy port activity and the urban layout of Dobo town immediately after takeoff.
Pulau Wokam Straits
Intricate sea channels and mangrove-lined waterways separating the northern Aru islands.
Kei Besar Range
The high, forested mountain ridges of Kei Besar island rising sharply from the sea on the horizon.
Coral Atolls
Vibrant turquoise reef systems and sandbars scattered throughout the Arafura Sea crossing.
Sit on the right for the best perspective of the Aru island straits. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the harbor and during the descent for the contrast between the deep blue sea and the Kei reef systems.
Southern Aru Archipelago
Bird's-eye view of the southern islands including Pulau Maikoor and its dense tropical canopy.
Coastal Settlements
Small, remote fishing villages and traditional stilt houses visible along the shoreline.
Kei Kecil Beaches
Glimpses of the famous white sands of Pasir Panjang as the plane descends into Langgur.
Early morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Look closely during the final 10 minutes for the distinct color transition of the shallow reefs near the Kei Islands.
