Mount Merapi
Provides an intimate view of the smoking crater and the lava paths from recent eruptions.
Bromo-Tengger Massif
The otherworldly lunar landscape of the Sea of Sand and the active Bromo crater.
Mount Semeru
Java's highest peak, frequently emitting small ash plumes that are clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Ijen Plateau

Bali Mandara Toll Road
A stunning 'floating' highway over the sea visible during the final seconds before landing.
Uluwatu Cliffs
The dramatic limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula as the plane banks for its final approach.
This is the ultimate route for volcano lovers. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Mt. Semeru. Morning flights (06:00-09:00) provide the clearest air before clouds gather around the peaks. Keep your camera ready during the descent into DPS for the iconic over-water landing view.
