Mount Tomanivi
Glimpse Fiji's highest peak located in the rugged central highland range.
Vaturu Dam
A striking blue reservoir that stands out against the deep green of the surrounding mountains.
Sleeping Giant
The famous Sabeto Range, which looks like a giant lying on his back, visible during descent.
Ba Sugarcane Plains

The right side provides the most dramatic topographical changes. The 'Sleeping Giant' mountain range is the highlight of the approach into Nadi and is best seen 5-10 minutes before landing. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the mountain ridges as the sun sets over the Mamanuca Islands to the west.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is excellent for seeing the transition from the urban Suva area to the dense rainforests of the interior. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after departure to see the dense urban layout of the Suva peninsula.
