Aerial views of the rugged, densely forested interior and the primary mountain ranges of the Western Province.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route.

Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from EGM for the best angles of Marovo's island chains.

The deep blue corridor separating New Georgia from the neighboring islands of Tetepare and Rendova.
Tetepare Island
Glimpses of the largest uninhabited tropical island in the South Pacific, known for its pristine conservation status.
Vonavona Lagoon
As you approach Gizo, look down at the shallow, crystal-clear waters dotted with tiny, white-sand coral cays.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the reflection of the sunset over the Solomon Sea. This side is also better for spotting larger marine life like dolphin pods in the deeper channels between the islands.
