Arfak Mountains
Rising sharply after takeoff from Manokwari, these peaks provide a rugged and dramatic start to the journey.
Anggi Lakes
The stunning twin high-altitude lakes, Giji and Gita, are visible nestled deep within the mountain valleys.
Bintuni Bay Mangroves
One of the largest mangrove ecosystems in the world, featuring intricate water channels and lush green clusters.
Bomberai Peninsula
As the plane approaches Fakfak, the vast lowland forests and winding rivers of the peninsula come into view.
Sit on the left side to catch the Anggi Lakes approximately 10-15 minutes after departure. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the convective cloud buildup that often obscures the mountains by midday. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the ascent over the Arfak range happens quickly.

A beautiful view of Manokwari's harbor and the historic Mansinam Island immediately after rotation.
Virgin Rainforest
An uninterrupted view of the dense, prehistoric canopy that covers the interior of the Bird's Head Peninsula.
Arguni Karst Formations
During the descent into Fakfak, look for the unique limestone karst islands and turquoise waters of the coast.
Seram Sea
The deep blue waters of the Seram Sea stretch toward the horizon as the flight prepares for its final approach.
The right side is excellent for observing the karst topography near Fakfak during descent. If flying in the late afternoon, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Seram Sea. It is also the better side for seeing the Manokwari city coastline during the initial climb.
