Search flights from TOH to MTV
Southern Torres Chain
Excellent views of Lo and Toga islands as you depart the northernmost province.
Vanua Lava Peaks
The massive volcanic mountains of Vanua Lava, often shrouded in dramatic tropical clouds.
Rock of Rah
The famous massive limestone monolith sticking out of the tiny neighboring island of Rah.
Mota Lava Channel
The shallow, walkable lagoon separating Mota Lava from Rah Island, visible just before landing.
This is the 'land' side for this route. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the volcanic terrain of Vanua Lava. Keep your camera ready as you descend into MTV, as the plane usually passes right over the scenic Rah Island.

Linua Lagoon
Vibrant turquoise waters surrounding the airstrip immediately after takeoff.
Fringing Reefs
Intricate coral patterns visible along the eastern edge of the Torres chain.
Remote Horizon
Unobstructed views of the vast, deep blue South Pacific Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Sit on this side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical glare. Watch the shallow waters near the islands for color shifts from emerald to deep cobalt.
