Which side of the plane to sit from Nusatupe Airport (Gizo) to Sege Airport (Sege)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers unparalleled views of the Solomon Islands' iconic lagoon systems, including the spectacular Vona Vona, Roviana, and Marovo lagoons, featuring vibrant turquoise waters and hundreds of tiny coral islets.
Vona Vona Lagoon
A stunning labyrinth of over 100 small palm-covered islands and intricate coral reef patterns.
Munda Coastline
Views of the small township and the turquoise waters surrounding the WWII-era airstrip.
Roviana Lagoon
An expansive blue lagoon famous for its historical significance and diverse marine life.
Marovo Lagoon
A world-renowned UNESCO candidate site featuring incredible coral formations during the approach to Sege.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this flight. Wear polarized sunglasses to better see the coral structures through the water's surface. Have your camera ready for the final 5 minutes of the flight, as the descent over the Marovo Lagoon is exceptionally low and scenic.
Kolombangara Island
A massive extinct stratovolcano rising dramatically 1,770 meters from the sea to the north.
New Georgia Rainforests
Dense, lush primary rainforest covering the rugged interior of the main island.
Mount Rice
The highest peak in central New Georgia, often surrounded by mystical tropical cloud cover.
Gizo Harbor
A final look at the provincial capital and its busy maritime traffic upon departure.
Watch the northern horizon immediately after takeoff for the silhouette of Kolombangara. Morning flights are ideal as afternoon convective clouds often obscure the mountain peaks. Seat yourself away from the wing for the best view of the island interior.
