Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the spectacular South Australian coastline, the unique 130km long Coorong lagoon system, and the dramatic meeting of the Murray River and the Southern Ocean.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Blue Lake

Visible shortly after takeoff, this famous cobalt-blue crater lake is a Mount Gambier icon.

🏖️

The Coorong

A stunning, narrow strip of water and white sand dunes stretching for miles along the coast.

🌊

The Murray Mouth

The precise point where the mighty Murray River flows into the Southern Ocean near Goolwa.

🚤

Gulf St Vincent

The final approach offers clear views across the gulf as the plane banks toward Adelaide Airport.

Book a morning flight to have the sun at your back, illuminating the turquoise waters of the Coorong. During the winter months (June-August), keep an eye out for Southern Right Whales near the coastline. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Murray Mouth.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💧

Lake Alexandrina

Australia's largest freshwater lake system appearing as a vast inland sea.

🌾

Langhorne Creek

Lush green vineyard patches nestled within the surrounding agricultural plains.

⛰️

Adelaide Hills

Rolling green terrain and the peak of Mount Lofty visible during the descent into the city.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the ocean. Keep an eye out for the distinctive pink hues of the small salt lakes scattered near the Coorong region during the middle phase of the flight.
