Limboto Lake
A stunning view of the large lake adjacent to Jalaluddin Airport right after takeoff.
Mount Latimojong
The highest mountain in Sulawesi, offering dramatic ridgelines and peaks often poking through the clouds.
West Sulawesi Coast
The rugged meeting point of the Makassar Strait and the mountainous terrain of the western peninsula.
Maros-Pangkep Karst
Spectacular limestone towers and prehistoric landscapes visible during the descent into Makassar.
Makassar Cityscape
Urban views of the bustling port city and Losari Beach on the final approach to Hasanuddin International.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. Sit away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Maros Karst formations during descent, which are among the largest in the world. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the western coastline.
