Nadi Bay and Denarau
Aerial views of the luxury resorts and turquoise waters surrounding Denarau Island during the initial climb.
Sabeto Range
The famous 'Sleeping Giant' mountain profile is clearly visible shortly after departing Nadi.
Mount Tomanivi
A glimpse of Fiji's highest peak located in the central highlands of Viti Levu.
Central Highlands Jungle
Vast stretches of untouched tropical rainforest covering the jagged volcanic terrain.
Upper Rewa River

Sit on the left for the morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the 'Sleeping Giant' mountains. Choose a seat forward of the wing on the ATR aircraft to avoid engine obstruction. Look for the sharp contrast between the dry western landscape and the lush green interior within the first 10 minutes of flight.

Mamanuca Island Chain
Distant views of the coral reefs and sand cays of the Mamanuca group as the plane gains altitude.
Vaturu Dam
A bright blue reservoir nestled deep within the Viti Levu highlands used for water supply.
Suva City Skyline
A great view of Fiji's capital city, the harbor, and the Grand Pacific Hotel during the descent.
Laucala Bay
The expansive bay area featuring the University of the South Pacific and reef-protected lagoons.
Rewa River Delta
The intricate network of mangroves and silted river mouths just before landing at Nausori.
The right side is superior for urban photography during the approach into Nausori, as the flight path often banks to reveal the Suva peninsula. During afternoon flights, this side experiences less glare. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins to catch the transition from mountains to the coastline.
