Great Astrolabe Reef
One of the world's largest barrier reefs, visible immediately after takeoff with vibrant blue and turquoise gradients.
Vatulele Island
A flat, limestone island known for its legendary red prawns and pristine white sand beaches visible in the distance.
Sigatoka Sand Dunes
The unique wind-swept grey-brown dunes at the mouth of the Sigatoka River along the Coral Coast.
Mamanuca Archipelago
World-famous surf spots and resort islands like Tavarua and Namotu appearing during the descent.
Book a morning flight (around 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) to ensure the sun is high enough to illuminate the coral reefs without creating excessive glare on the water. This side offers the best views of the surf breaks near Tavarua just before landing.

Mount Washington
Also known as Nabukelevu, this prominent volcanic peak dominates the western end of Kadavu Island.
Viti Levu Highlands
The rugged, deep-green interior mountains of the mainland, often shrouded in tropical mist.
Denarau Island
The integrated resort peninsula and marina, identifiable by its circular road layouts and luxury hotels.
The Sleeping Giant
The Sabeto mountain range which creates a silhouette of a reclining man north of Nadi Airport.
The right side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Viti Levu interior. During the wet season (November to April), afternoon flights on this side may offer dramatic views of localized tropical thunderstorms over the mountains while the coast remains clear.
