Manus Rainforest
The dense, primeval tropical canopy of the Manus Island interior immediately after departure.
Adelbert Range
The rugged, cloud-shrouded peaks of the mainland mountains as the aircraft approaches the coast.
Madang Peninsula
A panoramic view of the town often called the prettiest in the South Pacific, built along a narrow strip of land.
Coastwatchers Memorial
The iconic white lighthouse standing at the entrance to the harbor, a tribute to WWII heroes.
Coral Cays
A series of tiny, white-sand islets surrounded by translucent shallow reefs just before touchdown.
The right side is superior for the final approach. In the late afternoon, the sun illuminates the mainland mountains and the reefs of Astrolabe Bay perfectly. Try to get a seat ahead of the wing for the clearest view of the coastline.
