Miri Coastal View
Aerial perspective of Miri city and the transition from the South China Sea to the Sarawak coastline.
Baram River Loops
Spectacular views of the massive, winding oxbow lakes and meanders of the Baram River.
Mulu National Park Vistas
On clear days, the distant jagged limestone silhouettes of the Gunung Mulu massif are visible to the north.
Primary Rainforest
Uninterrupted stretches of dense tropical canopy as the flight moves into the heart of Borneo.
Highland Mist
Atmospheric morning fog clinging to the deep valleys of the Baram interior.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Baram River's complexity. Aim for the earliest morning flight (usually MH3630 series) to catch the 'sea of clouds' effect over the jungle before the afternoon convection clouds obscure the terrain. Since this route uses Twin Otter aircraft, every seat is a window seat, but avoid the very front if you want to stay clear of the engine exhaust glare.

Lambir Hills
The rugged, forested ridges of Lambir Hills National Park shortly after departure.
Remote Longhouses
Spot traditional Orang Ulu settlements nestled along the riverbanks far from the road network.
Logging Arteries
The intricate web of red-dirt logging roads that carve through the green landscape.
Akah River Confluence
The final approach follows the Akah River as it merges with the larger Baram system near the airstrip.
The right side is excellent for spotting longhouses and rural infrastructure. As the plane descends into Long Akah, the right side offers a closer look at the steep valley walls. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to cut through the tropical haze and see the variations in the river water color.
