Star Mountains
Immediate views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys surrounding Oksibil upon takeoff.
Jayawijaya Range
Distant views of Indonesia's highest mountain range, including some of the most remote peaks in the world.
Untouched Rainforest
Vast expanses of primary tropical jungle stretching across the Mamberamo basin as you head north.
Cyclops Mountains
A stunning coastal mountain range that appears as a lush green wall just before the descent into Sentani.
Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the heavy cloud cover that typically develops over the central highlands by midday. Keep your camera ready for the first 15 minutes of the flight, as the proximity to the high peaks near Oksibil is breathtaking.

PNG Border
The flight path runs parallel to the international border between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Sepik River Tributaries
Look for the winding, snake-like rivers that feed into the massive Sepik system to the east.
Remote Highland Villages
Spot isolated human settlements carved into the steep hillsides of the Pegunungan Bintang region.
Lake Sentani
The crown jewel of the approach; a massive lake with over 20 islands and traditional stilt-house villages.
The right side is essential for the final approach into Jayapura. As the plane descends, you will get an iconic view of the sprawling Lake Sentani and its unique island formations. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the lake.
