Search flights from NME to OOK
Kangirluar Bay
The transition from the mainland to the vast, cold waters of the Bering Sea is clearly visible.
Toksook River Meanders
The aircraft follows the winding path of this vital waterway connecting the two villages.
Coastal Cliffs
As you approach Toksook Bay, watch for the jagged cliffs that serve as nesting grounds for seabirds.
Subsistence Activity
In summer, look for small boats along the river and coast used for traditional fishing.
This is an extremely short bush flight (approx. 10 minutes), so be ready with your camera immediately upon takeoff. The right side is particularly scenic during sunset when the light reflects off the Bering Sea and river channels.
