Which side of the plane to sit from Nausori International Airport (Nausori) to Vunisea Airport (Vunisea)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most diverse scenery, providing a panoramic view of Fiji's capital city, Suva, shortly after takeoff, followed by stunning views of the Kadavu coastline and the iconic Mount Washington during the approach.
Suva City Skyline
A clear view of the capital's downtown area, including the historic Grand Pacific Hotel and government buildings.
Suva Harbour
Observe the bustling maritime activity in the deep-water harbor against the backdrop of the lush Lami hills.
Mount Washington
Also known as Nabukelevu, this prominent volcanic peak dominates the western horizon of Kadavu Island.
Namalata Isthmus
The narrow strip of land where the Vunisea airport is located, offering water views on both sides of the runway.
Sit on the right side for the best urban and mountain views. Shortly after departure from Nausori, the plane usually banks, offering a great angle of Suva. Keep your camera ready for the approach into Vunisea to catch the narrowness of the island's center.
Rewa River Delta
View the intricate network of waterways and dense mangrove forests forming Fiji's largest river delta.
Nukulau Island
A historic island off the coast of Suva, known for its white sand and clear surrounding waters.
Great Astrolabe Reef
The northern edges of one of the world's largest barrier reefs come into view as you cross the passage toward Kadavu.
The left side is excellent for reef spotters. Watch for the dramatic color change from deep blue to turquoise as you approach the northern reefs of Kadavu. Morning flights offer the best lighting to penetrate the water for reef viewing.
