Which side of the plane to sit from Savusavu Airport (Savusavu) to Nausori International Airport (Nausori)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Namena Marine Reserve's coral systems and the lush coastline of Viti Levu during the final approach into the Rewa Delta.
Namena Marine Reserve
Stunning aerial views of the horseshoe-shaped barrier reef, famous for its vibrant turquoise lagoons.
Wakaya and Makogai
Bird's-eye views of these exclusive private islands and their pristine white sand beaches.
Suva Peninsula
On a clear day, the capital city of Suva is visible in the distance across Laucala Bay.
Rewa Delta Mangroves
A complex labyrinth of mangrove forests and tidal creeks just before landing at Nausori.
The right side is ideal for spotting the vibrant reef colors. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to cut through the water's surface glare to see the coral formations clearly. Most flights are short (30-45 mins), so have your camera ready immediately after takeoff.
Savusavu Bay
Panoramic views of the deep water bay and the yachts anchored at the Copra Shed Marina during takeoff.
Koro Island
A glimpse of this prominent volcanic island sitting solo in the middle of the Koro Sea.
Gau Island
The largest island of the Lomaiviti Archipelago, featuring dense tropical forests and fringing reefs.
Rewa River
Views of Fiji's widest river as it snakes through the fertile plains towards Nausori.
Sit toward the back to avoid the high-wing shadow of the Twin Otter or ATR aircraft. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Koro Sea crossing without the afternoon glare reflecting off the water.
