A smaller, lush volcanic neighbor to Karkar, featuring a distinct sunken crater profile.
Seeadler Harbour
A massive natural deep-water harbor that served as a major naval base during WWII, filled with vibrant turquoise patches.
Los Negros Coral Reefs
Stunning aerial views of the barrier reefs and shallow lagoons surrounding the airport landing strip.
Momote Approach
The final approach provides a low-altitude view of the narrow strip of land between the sea and the harbor.
Choose the right side for the most iconic views of the coral atolls. The descent into Momote is the highlight; keep your camera ready for the transition from deep sea blue to bright turquoise as you cross the reef line. Early afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the reef colors.
