Mount Bosavi
The striking 4-kilometer wide collapsed caldera of an extinct volcano rising sharply from the plains.
Great Papuan Plateau
Incredible karst limestone landscapes featuring deep sinkholes and jagged white rock ridges.
Central Highlands Vistas
Distant views of the high peaks of the Star Mountains and the rugged spine of the New Guinea island.
Upper Fly River Meanders
The iconic, tightly winding path of the silt-heavy Fly River as it approaches the Kiunga region.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic geological features. Watch for the transition from the flat coastal plains to the elevated limestone plateaus roughly 40 minutes into the flight. Keep a camera ready for Mount Bosavi, which is the highlight of the route.

Early morning flights are essential as tropical convection often builds heavy cloud cover by midday. On afternoon return flights to POM, this side provides better views of the sunset over the Gulf of Papua.
