Manaro Voui Slopes
The massive, gently sloping base of Ambae's active shield volcano visible immediately after departure from Longana.
Lonorore Coral Reefs
Vibrant, crystal-clear reef systems and shallow lagoons that border the Lonorore airstrip approach.
West Pentecost Shoreline
Views of traditional villages and small outrigger canoes along the sheltered western coast of the island.
The right side is ideal for capturing the iconic island-hop landing. Choose a seat behind the wing (usually on a Twin Otter) for unobstructed photos of the coral reefs. Watch for the volcanic silhouette of Ambae disappearing behind you as you approach Pentecost.

Selwyn Strait
The deep blue expanse separating Ambae and Pentecost islands, often dotted with local fishing boats.
North Pentecost Ridges
The dramatic, jagged spine of northern Pentecost Island, covered in dense tropical rainforest.
Coastal Cascades
Small waterfalls and lush greenery visible along the eastern cliffs of Pentecost as the plane turns south.
Sit on the left for views of the rugged interior of Pentecost Island. This side is better during the mid-morning when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes, highlighting the contrast between the jungle and the sea.
