Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled views of the New South Wales coastline, featuring the white sands of Jervis Bay and the dramatic transition from the Tasman Sea to the rugged shore.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Royal National Park

The world's second-oldest national park, showcasing high sandstone cliffs and the famous Wedding Cake Rock.

🏖️

Jervis Bay

Breathtaking views of some of the world's whitest sand beaches and the deep turquoise waters of Booderee National Park.

🐋

Batemans Bay

The mouth of the Clyde River and the surrounding marine park islands, often visible just before descent.

🏙️

Kiama Coast

Vibrant green rolling hills meeting the sea, with the historic Kiama township and its rocky headlands.

Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise water and white sand of Jervis Bay. Since this route uses smaller regional aircraft, the lower cruising altitude makes these coastal features remarkably clear.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Illawarra Escarpment

A dramatic mountain range that shadows the coastline, covered in dense subtropical rainforest.

🌊

Lake Illawarra

A sprawling coastal lagoon located between Wollongong and Shellharbour, reflecting the sky beautifully.

🏔️

Pigeon House Mountain

An iconic Dharawal landmark with a distinctive 'beehive' shape rising out of the Morton National Park wilderness.

🌳

Deua National Park

Extensive vistas of the Great Dividing Range hinterland, featuring deep valleys and ancient eucalyptus forests.

The right side is ideal for mountain lovers. Keep a keen eye out for Pigeon House Mountain about 15-20 minutes before landing; it is the most recognizable peak in the region. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic shadows across the escarpment valleys.
