Which side of the plane to sit from Norsup Airport (Norsup) to Lamap Airport (Lamap)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the turquoise coral reefs and the intricate archipelago of the Maskelyne Islands during the southern descent toward Lamap.
Uripiv and Uri Islands
Small, lush offshore islands near Norsup with visible surrounding coral heads.
Barrier Reef Formations
Vibrant turquoise reef systems contrasting sharply with the deep blue Coral Sea.
The Maskelyne Islands
A beautiful cluster of small islands and mangrove forests visible as you approach Lamap.
Port Sandwich
A deep, natural harbor near Lamap known for its calm waters and scenic shoreline.
Sit on the left for the best water views. Since this is a very short, low-altitude flight, usually on a Twin Otter, the proximity to the reefs is incredible. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun reflecting off the Pacific Ocean.
Malekula Highlands
The rugged, mountainous interior of Vanuatu's second-largest island.
Tropical Rainforest
Dense, untouched jungle canopy that covers much of the island's southern interior.
Coconut Plantations
Large agricultural estates visible near the Norsup and Lakatoro areas.
Lakatoro Township
A quick glimpse of the administrative capital of Malampa Province shortly after takeoff.
The right side is best if you prefer views of the mountainous terrain and the dense greenery of the island. Be aware that clouds often build up over the central mountains by mid-day, potentially obscuring some of the peaks.
