Mukah Estuary
View of the Mukah River meeting the South China Sea immediately after takeoff.
Bintulu Port & LNG
Aerial view of one of the world's largest liquefied natural gas complexes and busy shipping lanes.

Miri Marina

Book an afternoon flight to witness the sun setting over the South China Sea. During the mid-point of the flight, look closely for the bright flares from the Bintulu industrial zone, which are visible even in daylight. Avoid seats directly over the wing on the ATR-72 or Twin Otter usually used on this route to ensure an unobstructed view of the water.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun remains on the opposite side, reducing glare. It provides a fascinating look at the logistical scale of Borneo's timber and palm industries.
