Which side of the plane to sit from Kaimana Airport (Kaimana) to Fakfak Airport (Fak Fak)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic karst landscapes, limestone cliffs, and the dense primary rainforest of the Onin Peninsula as you fly northwest along the coast.
Onin Peninsula
Vast stretches of prehistoric, dense primary tropical canopy stretching toward the interior.
Karst Formations
Dramatic limestone 'beehive' hills and rugged mountain ridges typical of the West Papuan landscape.
Hidden Coves
Numerous inaccessible white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons tucked into the rugged coastline.
Kumawa Mountains
View of the rugged peaks and limestone massifs that dominate the skyline of the Bomberai Peninsula.
Book a window seat on the right for the best terrain views. Aim for morning flights (before 11:00 AM) to avoid the heavy tropical cloud cover that typically forms over the mountains by midday. This side keeps the mainland in view for nearly the entire duration of the short flight.
Ceram Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters transitioning to vibrant turquoise near the shore.
Karas Island
A large, lush island with fringing reefs located off the southwestern tip of the peninsula.
Fakfak Waterfront
A scenic view of the coastal town and its harbor during the final approach into the airport.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness the sun reflecting off the Ceram Sea. While predominantly water-based, the approach into Fakfak offers a great perspective of the town's unique vertical topography from the port side.
