ILODVO

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its unparalleled views of the Philippines' two most iconic peaks: the active Kanlaon Volcano and the country's highest mountain, Mount Apo.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Iloilo City Skyline

A clear view of the Iloilo River Esplanade and the urban sprawl immediately after departure.

🌋

Kanlaon Volcano

The massive, active stratovolcano on Negros Island, often poking through the clouds.

🌊

Sulu Sea Coastline

Beautiful transition from the deep blue sea to the rugged southern coast of Negros.

🏔️

Mount Apo

The ultimate highlight: the majestic, cloud-capped peak of the highest mountain in the Philippines.

🌇

Davao Urban Landscape

A sweeping view of the Davao City metropolitan area as the aircraft lines up with the runway.

The right side is a must for volcano enthusiasts. To see Mount Apo clearly, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the peak during the descent. Afternoon flights may face some glare, so morning is preferred.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Guimaras Island

Aerial view of the lush mango orchards and white sand coves of Guimaras shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Northern Negros Forest

The rugged, deep-green terrain of the Mount Mandalagan and Mount Silay mountain ranges.

🌋

Camiguin Silhouette

On clear days, the volcanic peaks of Camiguin Island are visible in the distance over the Bohol Sea.

🌲

Bukidnon Plateaus

Expansive views of the high-altitude pineapple plantations and rolling hills of Northern Mindanao.

🏖️

Samal Island

A stunning view of Samal's coastlines and turquoise waters during the descent into Davao Gulf.

Book an early morning flight (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) to catch the best lighting over the Visayan islands. During the descent, the left side offers a great angle for spotting the island resorts of Samal if the plane approaches from the south.
