Search flights from DVO to CGY
Mount Apo
The Philippines' highest peak, visible shortly after takeoff from Davao, standing prominently above the clouds.
Bukidnon Plateaus
Lush, high-altitude grasslands and rolling green hills that define the landscape of central Mindanao.
Kitanglad Mountain Range
A protected mountain range featuring jagged peaks and dense tropical rainforests.
Manolo Fortich Plantations
Vast, organized patterns of pineapple and banana plantations visible as the plane nears the northern coast.
Sit on the left for the best view of Mt. Apo. Choose a morning flight (06:00-09:00 AM) to avoid the heavy cloud cover that typically obscures the peaks by mid-afternoon. Look for the distinct crater shape of the volcano roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight.

Macajalar Bay
A wide-angle view of the deep-water bay and the busy industrial ports of the region.
Cagayan River
The winding river system famous for white-water rafting snaking through the city toward the sea.
The right side is superior for coastal photography during takeoff from DVO. During the final approach to CGY, this side provides a panoramic view of the coastline along Macajalar Bay. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns over the sea for landing.
