Miri Coastline
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a sweeping view of the South China Sea shoreline and the expanding Miri city skyline.
Lambir Hills National Park
Look for the distinct sandstone escarpments and lush primary rainforest of Lambir Hills shortly after departure.
Bario Paddy Fields
The highlight of the trip is the descent into the valley, showing the patchwork of wet rice paddies unique to the Kelabit people.
Bario Asal Longhouse
Spot the traditional longhouses clustered near the airstrip, marking the cultural heart of the highlands.
The right side provides the most iconic views of the Bario valley floor during landing. Request a seat in the front rows to avoid the engine exhaust and wing struts from blocking your photos. Keep your camera ready about 35 minutes into the flight as the plane clears the final mountain ridge before descending into the plateau.

Baram River Meanders
Witness the incredible serpentine loops of the Baram River as it carves through the dense tropical landscape.
Mount Murud
On clear days, the north-eastern horizon reveals Sarawak's highest peak towering over the surrounding ranges.
Inland Logging Roads
Observe the intricate web of red-clay logging trails that provide a stark contrast against the deep green canopy.
Highland Mist
Watch the morning mist clinging to the valleys of the Tama Abu Range as the aircraft gains altitude.
The left side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the river systems. Book the earliest morning flight (usually around 09:00 AM) to avoid the thick afternoon cloud cover that frequently obscures the mountain peaks. Since MASwings uses Twin Otter aircraft, every seat is effectively a window seat.
