Ceram Sea Vistas
Deep blue oceanic expanses contrasted against the shallow turquoise reefs of the coastline.
Pisang Archipelago
Clusters of small, remote islands that appear like emerald jewels in the open sea.
Sorong Waterfront
Excellent views of the busy port activity and small vessels departing Sorong at takeoff.
Western Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunset if traveling on afternoon regional connections.
The right side is ideal for capturing the contrast between the sea and the land. Keep your camera ready during the final approach into Fakfak, as the runway is situated on a steep hill, providing a thrilling 'cliff-side' landing experience over the water. Morning flights usually offer the clearest skies before tropical clouds build up in the afternoon.
