Sepik River Meanders
The most iconic sight in PNG; witness the massive, serpentine loops and oxbow lakes of the Sepik River as it snakes toward the sea.
Prince Alexander Mountains
Observe the transition from the flat river basin to the sharp, coastal ridges of the Prince Alexander Mountains.
Wewak Peninsula
A stunning aerial view of the Wewak town area, the historic harbor, and the white sandy beaches lining the coast.
The right side is the 'money side' for photographers wanting to capture the classic Sepik River bends. Try to book a seat in front of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river's reflective water against the green jungle.

Spectacular views of the lush, high-altitude coffee plantations and gardens of the Western Highlands upon departure.
Schrader Range
The flight traverses the rugged, cloud-shrouded peaks of the Schrader Range, showcasing untouched tropical rainforest.
Keram River Wetlands
