Luganville Harbor
Aerial view of Vanuatu's second-largest town and the bustling Segond Channel immediately after takeoff.
Aore Island
Look down at the luxurious resorts and white sandy beaches lining the northern coast of Aore.
Malo Island
Extensive views of the dense tropical rainforest and fringing reefs of this significant volcanic island.
Malekula Barrier Reefs
Vibrant turquoise coral formations visible as the plane descends toward the Norsup airstrip.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun is in the east, perfectly illuminating the reefs of Malo Island. For photography, use a fast shutter speed to capture the distinct layers of blue in the Segond Channel.

Segond Channel
A view of the deep water passage used by cruise ships and cargo vessels between Santo and Aore.
Uri and Uripiv Islands

The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. It provides a sense of the scale of the Ni-Vanuatu wilderness. Look for small traditional outrigger canoes in the waters near Norsup.
