MYA → MIM
Which side of the plane to sit from Moruya Airport (Moruya) to Merimbula Airport (Merimbula)?
Left Side of the Plane
Flying south along the coast, the left side offers sweeping views of the Tasman Sea, pristine white beaches, and the significant offshore sanctuary of Montague Island.
Moruya River Mouth
Immediately after takeoff, witness the river meeting the Pacific Ocean with clear views of the breakwalls.
Montague Island
A stunning nature reserve and lighthouse located offshore from Narooma, famous for its seal and penguin colonies.
Bermagui Coastline
The dramatic coastline featuring the Blue Pool and the rugged headlands of the sapphire coast.
Tathra Wharf
The historic timber wharf and the sparkling waters of Kianinny Bay become visible as you approach the destination.
Bournda National Park
Aerial views of secluded beaches and coastal lagoons like Wallagoot Lake just before landing.
The left side is the premium choice for ocean lovers. During the months of September to November, keep your eyes peeled for Humpback whales breaching in the waters below. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun reflects off the turquoise coastal shelf.
Gulaga Mountain
An iconic ancient volcano, also known as Mount Dromedary, which dominates the regional skyline.
Wagonga Inlet
The bright turquoise waters of the Narooma estuary system showing intricate sand patterns from above.
Tuross River System
A beautiful network of lakes and waterways snaking through the landscape near Tuross Head.
Wallaga Lake
The largest lake in southern NSW, framed by the backdrop of the Great Dividing Range.
Biamanga National Park
Expansive views of dense eucalypt forests and the rugged wilderness of the coastal hinterland.
Photographers interested in geology and landscape reflections should choose the right side. The late afternoon light is particularly spectacular here, highlighting the ridges of Gulaga and creating a golden glow over the inland lakes.
