Search flights from OXB to CKY
Bijagós Archipelago
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve consisting of 88 islands and islets, visible shortly after departure from Bissau.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue ocean meeting the light turquoise of the shallow continental shelf.
Rio Nunez Delta
The wide, impressive mouth of the Nunez River where it discharges into the Atlantic through complex silt formations.
Îles de Los
A group of volcanic islands located just off the coast of Conakry, clearly visible during the final approach path.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. Aim for a mid-day flight to capitalize on high-angle sunlight, which makes the shallow waters and sandbars of the Bijagós islands pop with color. During the rainy season (June-October), the right side often provides better visibility as clouds tend to build up faster over the inland mountains to the left.

Rio Geba Estuary
The intricate network of winding channels and mangroves that dominate the Guinea-Bissau coastline immediately after takeoff.
Bauxite Landscapes
The striking contrast of red earth and industrial mining operations near Kamsar and Sangaredi as the flight progresses south.
Mount Kakoulima
The prominent 1,000-meter peak that signals the approach to the Kaloum Peninsula and Conakry.
Fouta Djallon Foothills
Distant views of the lush, rolling highlands to the east, providing a backdrop of vibrant green terrain.
Sit on the left for views of the inland river systems and the industrial red-soil mining zones. Early morning flights are best to avoid the afternoon haze that can obscure the distant Fouta Djallon mountains. Ensure a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the Kakoulima peak during descent.
