Bintuni Bay
A massive inlet known for extensive mangrove systems and the intersection of several large river deltas.
Arfak Mountains
Dramatic views of the highest mountain range in West Papua, with peaks rising sharply toward the clouds.
Mansinam Island
The iconic island in the harbor of Manokwari, known as the site where Christianity first entered Papua.
Manokwari Harbor
A panoramic view of the provincial capital nestled between the mountains and the deep blue sea.
The right side is essential for seeing the Arfak Mountains. Aim for a flight before 10:00 AM to ensure the mountain peaks are not hidden by convection clouds. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the religious landmarks on Mansinam Island.

Bomberai Rainforest
Dense, untouched tropical canopy stretching across the interior of the Bomberai Peninsula.
Sebakor Bay
Stunning turquoise waters and limestone formations visible shortly after departure from Fakfak.
Bird's Head Interior
Mist-covered valleys and remote ridges where the peninsula connects to the mainland.
Choose the left side for better views of the rugged coastline during the initial climb. Morning flights are ideal as clouds tend to gather over the interior ridges by mid-day, obscuring the forest floor.
