Which side of the plane to sit from Nadi International Airport (Nandi) to Savusavu Airport (Savusavu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling coral reef systems in the Bligh Water and the stunning volcanic silhouettes of the distant Yasawa Islands during the ascent.
Vuda Point
Aerial views of the marina and luxury resorts lining the coastline immediately after departure from Nadi.
Yasawa Archipelago
Distant but clear views of the dramatic volcanic peaks and white sand beaches of the western island chain.
Bligh Water Reefs
Incredible turquoise patterns from the Vatu-i-Ra seascape, featuring some of Fiji's healthiest coral systems.
Vanua Levu Ridgelines
The rugged, emerald-green mountains of Fiji's second-largest island as you approach Savusavu.
Nawi Island
A bird's-eye view of the modern marina and luxury villas located just across from Savusavu town.
Book an early morning flight (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM) to see the reefs in the best light without the afternoon cloud buildup. On the Twin Otter or ATR aircraft usually used, avoid seats 1-3 if you want to stay clear of the engine propeller for photos.
Mount Tomanivi
Views of Fiji's highest peak and the misty interior highlands of Viti Levu shortly after takeoff.
Sun Coast Sugar Fields
The golden-green patchwork of sugarcane plantations around the Rakiraki district.
Lomaiviti Group
Distant sightings of Makogai and Wakaya islands nestled in the Koro Sea.
Savusavu Bay
A spectacular sweep of one of the Pacific's most protected natural deep-water harbors during the descent.
Copra Plantations
Dense groves of coconut palms that characterize the traditional agriculture of the Savusavu region.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Savusavu Bay and the lush coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready for the final 5 minutes of the flight for a panoramic view of the harbor.
