Admiralty Islands
Scattered volcanic and coral islands south of Manus visible shortly after departure.
New Hanover (Lavongai)
The rugged, mountainous terrain of this large island comes into view mid-flight to the south.
Kavieng Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of tiny islands and turquoise lagoons situated between New Hanover and New Ireland.
Byron Strait
The narrow, vibrant channel of water separating the main islands, teeming with coral reefs.
KVG Approach
Final descent provides a low-altitude view of the white sand beaches and palm-fringed coastlines.
The right side is essential for seeing the geography of the Bismarck Archipelago. Try to book a midday flight to see the neon turquoise of the reefs at their brightest. Keep your camera ready as you pass New Hanover for the most dramatic island landscapes.

Seeadler Harbour
Aerial view of the deep-water harbor at Momote, once a significant WWII naval base.
Bismarck Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water known for its high marine biodiversity and volcanic trenches.
Kavieng Town
The northern tip of New Ireland becomes visible with the town's grid and small harbor coming into focus.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking out into the open Pacific horizon. It is generally better for avoiding direct morning glare if flying eastward in the early hours. Watch for the distinct change in water color near the Kavieng coastline.
