Mount Agung
Bali's highest and most sacred peak provides a dramatic backdrop immediately after takeoff from Denpasar.
Gili Islands
Clear views of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air appearing as tiny white-sand rings in the azure Lombok Strait.
Mount Rinjani
The massive 3,726-meter summit and caldera of Lombok’s active volcano dominate the horizon mid-flight.
Saleh Bay
A massive semi-enclosed bay in Sumbawa known for its distinct shape and deep blue waters.
Mount Tambora
The site of the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history, visible as a massive, flat-topped crater.
Book an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) for the best chance to see the volcano peaks before they are obscured by afternoon clouds. Sit well forward of the wing (Rows 1-10) to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcanic craters and the Gili archipelago.
