Baram River Meanders
Spectacular aerial views of the deep brown Baram River snaking through the dense tropical rainforest of the Sarawak interior.
Mulu National Park Vistas
On clear days, the distant limestone massifs and peaks of Gunung Mulu are visible to the north.
Lambir Hills
The lush, rugged sandstone ridges of Lambir Hills National Park appear as you descend toward the coast.
South China Sea Horizon
The transition from deep jungle green to the expansive blue of the sea as the plane aligns for the Miri approach.
For the best visibility on the MASwings Twin Otter, sit in the rear rows to avoid the engine and high-wing obstruction. Aim for early morning flights (prior to 10:00 AM) to avoid the heavy tropical cloud cover and convective turbulence common in the Sarawak highlands.

The Grand Old Lady
Look for the historic first oil well of Malaysia perched on the ridge of Canada Hill during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the initial confluence of the Akah and Baram rivers. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the historic oil heritage sites on the hills and the modern coastal developments of Miri.
