Kavieng Archipelago
Aerial view of the northern tip of New Ireland and the surrounding tiny, turquoise-fringed islands upon takeoff.
Bismarck Sea Expanse
Vast stretches of deep azure water where you might spot large marine life or remote fishing vessels.
Lorengau Coastline
On approach, view the capital of Manus Province and the bustling small-boat traffic along the coast.
Seeadler Harbour
A massive natural deep-water harbor that played a significant role in WWII maritime history.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Manus mainland during the descent. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare from the southern sun reflecting off the Bismarck Sea. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Kavieng for the island clusters.

Nusa Islands
Stunning views of Nusa Lik and Nusa Tuam islands immediately after departing Kavieng Airport.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views toward the North Pacific Ocean and potential distant glimpses of the St. Matthias Group.
Los Negros Reefs
Intricate coral reef patterns surrounding the airport's location on Los Negros Island during the final descent.
Momote Runway Approach
A unique perspective of the narrow strip of land where the runway is situated, flanked by water on both sides.
The right side is excellent for capturing the open ocean horizon and the specific reef geography of Los Negros Island. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will have better lighting for photography as the sun will be behind the aircraft.
