Which side of the plane to sit from Tari Airport (Tari) to Moro Airport (Moro)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most spectacular views of Lake Kutubu and the dramatic limestone karst formations of the Southern Highlands during the descent into Moro.
Doma Peaks
A series of extinct volcanic peaks known for their dramatic ridges and ecological significance.
Lake Kutubu
The second largest lake in PNG, famous for its turquoise waters and unique endemic fish species.
Limestone Karst
Incredible 'broken bottle' country featuring sharp limestone pinnacles and deep sinkholes visible from low altitudes.
Moro Industrial Site
The contrast of modern oil extraction infrastructure emerging from the dense tropical rainforest near the airport.
The approach into Moro often banks over Lake Kutubu; have your camera ready as this is the visual highlight of the flight. Polarized sunglasses will help cut through the water's reflection to see the lake's vibrant colors.
Tari Basin
View the fertile valley floors and traditional Huli tribal lands immediately after takeoff from TIZ.
Mount Giluwe
Look east to spot the distant, massive shield volcano, which is the second highest mountain in Papua New Guinea.
Hegigio River Gorge
Deeply incised river valleys cutting through the rugged highland terrain with steep limestone cliffs.
Montane Cloud Forest
Dense, prehistoric-looking canopy often shrouded in mist, representing some of the world's most pristine biodiversity.
Early morning flights are essential as clouds typically build up by 10:00 AM, obscuring the high peaks. Keep an eye out for the distinct rectangular patterns of traditional Huli agricultural gardens near Tari.
