Which side of the plane to sit from Sege Airport (Sege) to Ramata Airport (Ramata)?

Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the world-renowned Marovo Lagoon, featuring stunning turquoise reefs and white-sand barrier islands.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
💠

Marovo Lagoon Reefs

The world's largest saltwater lagoon displays a breathtaking spectrum of blues and greens.

🏖️

Barrier Islets

A chain of pristine coral cays and uninhabited islands that protect the inner lagoon.

🌊

The Deep Drop-off

The dramatic visual transition where the shallow turquoise reef meets the deep indigo Solomon Sea.

🚤

Coral Channels

Crystal-clear passages between islands used by local timber-carving communities for navigation.

The right side is the superior choice for photography. This flight is extremely short and low-altitude, so keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun is high enough to reveal the depth and detail of the coral structures below the water's surface.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌳

New Georgia Jungle

Dense, prehistoric tropical rainforest blankets the mainland of New Georgia Island.

🚣

Coastal Hamlets

Small traditional Solomon Islander villages tucked away in quiet lagoon inlets.

🌿

Mangrove Labyrinths

Intricate networks of mangrove forests where the land transitions into the saltwater lagoon.

Sit on the left if you are interested in the terrestrial biodiversity of New Georgia. This side provides a closer look at the island's rugged volcanic interior and coastal topography. Best viewed in the early morning to minimize glare from the rising sun over the water.
