Kaghau Archipelago
Intricate coral atolls and turquoise shallows surrounding the departure point.
Kolombangara Volcano
The dominant 1,770m peak of Mount Veve, a perfectly shaped extinct stratovolcano.
Kennedy Island
The tiny, historic island where JFK was shipwrecked in 1943, clearly visible near the Gizo approach.
Nusatupe Island
The unique sight of an entire island converted into a single coral-paved runway.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Aim for an early morning flight (07:00-09:00) to see Kolombangara before the tropical clouds envelop its summit. Keep your camera ready as you descend past Kennedy Island for one of the most iconic aerial photos in the Pacific.

Solomon Sea Vistas
Expansive views of the deep blue Solomon Sea stretching toward the horizon.
Vonavona Lagoon
Distant glimpses of the sprawling reef systems and sand cays to the south of the flight path.
Gizo Waterfront
A view of the colorful buildings and busy wharf area of Gizo town during the final turn.
Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the water. This side offers better views of the southern reef chains if the pilot takes a slightly more southerly approach vector.
