Malekula Small Islands
Famous inhabited islets including Wala, Atchin, and Vao visible just off the coast.
Bougainville Strait
Deep blue waters separating the two major islands of the Malampa and Sanma provinces.
Luganville Town
Vanuatu's second-largest city comes into view during the approach to Pekoa.
Aore and Ratua Islands
Stunning coral reefs and resort islands situated just south of the Santo mainland.
The right side is highly recommended for spotting the distinct small islands off Malekula. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff. For the best lighting on the water's turquoise hues, a morning flight is ideal.

Malekula Highlands
Dense, rugged tropical interior of Malekula Island shortly after takeoff.
Norsup Bay
Clear views of the coastline around the airport as the aircraft gains altitude.
Santo Tropical Forests
Extensive coconut plantations and thick jungle of southern Espiritu Santo during descent.
