Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the northern Lau Group approach and the intricate reef systems of the Koro Sea, typically benefiting from better lighting for photography during daylight flights.

Left Side Highlights

🛶

Rewa River Delta

Aerial view of Fiji's largest river system and its complex network of mangrove-lined distributaries.

🏝️

Wakaya and Makogai

Distant but clear views of these prominent Lomaiviti islands rising from the Koro Sea.

🌊

Koro Sea Deep

Witness the dramatic color shift from coastal turquoise to the deep indigo of the 2,000-meter deep basin.

🐚

Vanua Vatu

A striking isolated limestone island surrounded by a pristine circular fringing reef.

💎

Lakeba Lagoon

An expansive view of the massive reef system protecting the island of Lakeba as you descend.

Book a morning flight on the left side to keep the sun behind you, revealing the true vibrancy of the reef colors. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Rewa Delta immediately after takeoff. Watch for the 'Great Sea Reef' patterns which are most prominent on this side during the final approach phase.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Suva Skyline

Panoramic views of the capital city and the Suva Point peninsula shortly after departure.

⛰️

Gau Island

The high volcanic peaks of Fiji's fifth-largest island are often visible to the south.

🚤

Southern Lau Atolls

Glances of small, uninhabited sand cays that characterize the southern reach of the archipelago.

🧗

Lakeba Limestone Cliffs

Views of the island's unique karst topography and caves on the southern coastline during the landing circuit.

The right side is excellent for seeing the Suva urban area and the rugged peaks of Gau. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun can be quite intense on this side, potentially causing glare on the windows. During the landing approach, this side provides the best view of Lakeba's distinctive terrestrial limestone formations.
