Ceram Sea Expanse
Deep blue waters stretching toward the horizon as you depart the Fakfak peninsula.
Misool Archipelago
Distal views of the iconic karst island chains and hidden lagoons of southern Raja Ampat.
Sebakor Bay
Stunning white sand beaches and coral reefs visible along the rugged coastline shortly after takeoff.
Coastal Settlements
Remote fishing villages nestled between the jungle and the sea along the western coast.
Sorong Port
The bustling maritime activity and industrial landscape as the plane descends into Dominique Edward Osok Airport.
Book a window seat on the left for the best views of the Raja Ampat outskirts. Morning flights (07:00-10:00) provide the clearest skies and most vibrant water colors before tropical clouds build up in the afternoon. Look for the distinct change in water color from deep navy to turquoise near the reefs.

Fakfak Mountains
The rugged, forested ridges surrounding Fakfak town during the initial ascent.
Bird's Head Rainforest
Dense, untouched tropical canopy covering the vast interior of the Doberai Peninsula.
Meandering Rivers
Intricate river systems snaking through the jungle floor toward the sea.
Tropical Cloudscapes
Dramatic cumulus formations often building over the inland mountain ranges.
The right side is ideal for travelers interested in the vastness of the West Papuan jungle. During the wet season (December to March), watch for large waterfalls cascading down the inland ridges. Ensure your window is clean as condensation can occur rapidly in the high humidity during descent.
