Which side of the plane to sit from Long Seridan Airport (Long Seridan) to Marudi Airport (Marudi)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the meandering Tutoh River and the distant, dramatic limestone karsts of the Gunung Mulu region as you transition from the highlands to the Baram basin.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Mulu Karst Formations

Distant but visible limestone peaks and the rugged terrain of Gunung Mulu National Park.

🐍

Tutoh River Meanders

Incredible, tight river loops that look like a silver ribbon winding through the deep green jungle.

🌊

Baram River Confluence

The massive junction where the Tutoh meets the Baram River shortly before reaching Marudi.

🏢

Marudi Townscape

A clear view of the historic riverside town and Fort Hose as the plane makes its final approach.

Keep your camera ready for the 'oxbow' loops of the Tutoh River. Since MASwings usually operates Twin Otters on this route, the high-wing design means any window provides an excellent, unobstructed view downward.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Tama Abu Range

The rugged, primary mountain range forming the spine of Sarawak's interior highlands.

🌲

Magoh River Valley

Dense, untouched primary rainforest canopy stretching toward the Indonesian border.

🛖

Remote Longhouses

Occasional sightings of Penan and Kelabit settlements nestled in small forest clearings.

☁️

Interior Mist

Low-hanging clouds often cling to the valleys between the sharp ridges during morning flights.

Sit toward the back for a wider perspective of the mountain ridges. Morning flights are essential as clouds typically build up by mid-afternoon, obscuring the valley floor.
