Levuka, Ovalau
A stunning aerial perspective of Fiji's first capital and UNESCO World Heritage site nestled against volcanic cliffs.
Makogai Island
Observe the circular coral lagoons and white sandy beaches of this historic island and marine sanctuary.
Taveuni Mountains
Fly parallel to the rugged, rainforest-clad peaks of the Garden Island, including the mist-covered Mount Uluigalau.
Koro Sea Reefs
Breathtaking turquoise reef patterns that contrast sharply with the deep sapphire blue of the surrounding Pacific.
Book an early morning flight to ensure the sun is behind you, illuminating the reefs and minimizing glare. Morning departures also offer the best chance of clear skies before tropical clouds form over the Taveuni peaks. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the water.
