Rewa River Delta
Fiji's largest river system carving through lush mangroves and silt-rich channels immediately after takeoff.
Ovalau Island
Clear views of the volcanic peaks surrounding Levuka, Fiji's former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Namena Marine Reserve
Breathtaking turquoise coral formations and horseshoe-shaped reefs visible as you approach Vanua Levu.
Vanua Levu Mountains
Dramatic silhouettes of the rugged interior mountain ranges as the plane begins its descent into Labasa.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and capture the best colors of the coral reefs. Watch closely about 10 minutes after takeoff for the distinctive volcanic crater rim of Ovalau Island. If the flight path is direct, you will also pass directly over the Makogai marine protected areas.

Bau Island
A tiny yet historically significant island, once the seat of power in Fiji, visible near the coastline.
Koro Island
A remote volcanic island rising sharply from the deep waters of the Koro Sea, often surrounded by cloud banks.
Sugar Cane Plains
The landscape transforms into a vibrant patchwork of light green sugar cane fields as you enter the Labasa basin.
Koro Sea Vistas
Panoramic views of the deep Pacific blue, where you can often spot the distinct white lines of breaking reef waves.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun over the mountains. Keep an eye out for the winding Qawa River during the final approach, which is the heart of the Labasa sugar industry. This side also provides a better perspective of the vastness of the reef systems bordering the eastern coast of Vanua Levu.
