Which side of the plane to sit from Darwin International Airport (Darwin) to Kununurra Airport (Kununurra)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Northern Territory's wetlands to the rugged Kimberley ranges, including a prime view of Lake Argyle during the descent.

Darwin Harbour
Aerial views of the Port of Darwin and the Beagle Gulf immediately after takeoff from DRW.
Daly River System
Watch the serpentine curves of the Daly River as it winds through lush mangrove forests and floodplains.
Keep River National Park
Stunning sandstone formations and 'beehive' towers that resemble a mini Bungle Bungle Range near the border.
Lake Argyle
Australia's largest man-made lake appears as a massive inland sea surrounded by red rock escarpments.
Carr Boyd Ranges
Ancient, rugged mountain ranges that glow deep orange and red in the morning or late afternoon light.
Sit on the left (port side) for the iconic approach over Lake Argyle. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red rock landscapes. Ensure you are seated well clear of the wing for the best downward views of the river systems.

Joseph Bonaparte Gulf
Expansive views of the Timor Sea and the turquoise waters where the northern coastline meets the gulf.
Victoria River Estuary
The massive tidal flats and intricate drainage patterns where the Victoria River meets the sea.
Ord River Irrigation Area
A striking contrast of bright green geometric farm plots against the arid brown desert landscape.
Cox Peninsula
Coastal views of the remote peninsula across from Darwin shortly after departure.
The right side is excellent for coastal enthusiasts looking to see the remote estuaries of the Top End. Afternoon flights may experience significant glare from the sun reflecting off the Timor Sea. Look for the 'pancake' tidal patterns near the mouth of the Keep River.
