Search flights from MAS to RAB
Los Negros Lagoons
Vibrant turquoise lagoons and coral reefs surrounding Momote Airport immediately after takeoff.
Bismarck Sea
Vast, deep blue oceanic expanses with the potential to spot whitecaps and small atolls.
Mount Tavurvur
A stunning view of the active stratovolcano within the Rabaul caldera, often seen venting steam.
Duke of York Islands
A cluster of lush, low-lying coral islands located between New Britain and New Ireland seen during the final descent.
Try to book a morning flight to avoid the convective cloud buildup common over New Britain in the afternoons. Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic landscape during the approach. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins for the best shots of the caldera.

Manus Coastline
Views of the southern coastline of Manus Island with its dense tropical canopy and mangrove systems.
Baining Mountains
The rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges of the Gazelle Peninsula as you approach New Britain.
Blanche Bay
A wide-angle view of the deep-water harbor that forms the heart of the sunken Rabaul caldera.
Tokua Shoreline
The coconut plantations and coastal villages lining the approach path to the runway.
The right side is excellent for viewing the interior topography of the Gazelle Peninsula. If the flight path takes a southern vector, this side provides better views of the dense rainforests. During the dry season (May to October), visibility is significantly better for spotting the mountain peaks.
