MIM β†’ MYA

Which side of the plane to sit from Merimbula Airport (Merimbula) to Moruya Airport (Moruya)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Sapphire Coast's turquoise waters, secluded beaches, and the iconic Montague Island.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Montague Island

A prominent granite island known for its historic lighthouse and diverse seal colony.

🌊

Wagonga Inlet

The stunningly clear, bright blue waters of Narooma's famous estuary system.

πŸ–οΈ

Sapphire Coast

Miles of untouched white sand beaches including Tathra and Bermagui.

πŸ‹

Ocean Marine Life

During migration seasons (Sept-Nov), look for whale breaches in the Tasman Sea.

πŸͺ¨

Mimosa Rocks

Dramatic sea caves and jagged rock formations within the national park.

The right side is the preferred choice. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the shallow turquoise waters of the inlets. Keep your eyes peeled for the Narooma 'Blues'β€”the incredible water clarity at Wagonga Inlet.

⛰️

Gulaga Mountain

Also known as Mt Dromedary, this extinct volcano is a sacred site for the Yuin people.

🌲

Biamanga National Park

Dense coastal forests and rugged hinterland terrain typical of the South Coast.

πŸ„

Bega Valley Hinterland

Lush green rolling pastures and dairy country extending toward the mountains.

πŸŒ„

Great Dividing Range

The massive mountain range provides a dramatic backdrop to the west throughout the flight.

Look out for Gulaga roughly mid-flight; its unique humped shape is unmistakable. Afternoon flights provide beautiful silhouetted views of the mountain ranges as the sun begins to set.
