Malekula Barrier Reefs
Gaze down at the intricate coral formations and turquoise lagoons along the eastern edge of Malekula Island.
Mount Benbow and Marum
Capture breathtaking views of the massive caldera and the smoking twin volcanic peaks at the heart of Ambrym.
Lopevi Volcano
Look further south to spot the nearly perfect cone of Lopevi, one of Vanuatu's most active and photogenic volcanoes.
Ash Plains and Black Sand
See the stark contrast of volcanic ash plains meeting the dark black sand beaches near Craig Cove.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. Sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the Ambrym caldera. Flights in the early morning are best to avoid the clouds that typically cluster around the volcanic peaks by midday.

Selwyn Strait
Cross the deep blue waters of the Selwyn Strait separating the islands of Malekula and Ambrym.
Pentecost Island
On clear days, see the distant long silhouette of Pentecost Island, famous for land diving, to the northeast.
Ambrym Northern Cliffs
View the lush, densely forested northern slopes of Ambrym as the aircraft turns toward the approach path.
While the left side is mostly open water, look for traditional outrigger canoes in the strait. Morning flights provide better lighting for distant islands to the north without sun glare.
