Savusavu Bay Departure
Breathtaking views of the hidden paradise of Savusavu, featuring lush volcanic hills surrounding the deep-water bay.
Koro Sea Crossing
Deep indigo waters of the Bligh Water passage where you might spot pods of dolphins or whale breaches during migration season.
Nakauvadra Range
The sacred mountain range of Viti Levu, home to the legend of Degei, showing rugged peaks and dense rainforest.
Ba Province Sugar Fields
Extensive patchwork of emerald-green sugarcane plantations bisected by the winding Ba River.
Mount Koroyanitu
Striking views of the Sabeto Range, specifically the 'Sleeping Giant' profile as you descend toward Nadi.
For the best clarity, book a morning flight around 9:00 AM; the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain ridges and valley mist perfectly. Sit behind the wing on the ATR aircraft to ensure your view of the Sabeto Range isn't obstructed during the final turn into Nadi.

Famous 'Bligh Water' views featuring small uninhabited limestone islets and vibrant coral sandbanks.
