Ureparapara Caldera
View the incredible horseshoe-shaped island where the sea has filled an ancient volcanic crater.
Rowa Reefs
See the stunning turquoise patterns of the Reef Islands, a cluster of low-lying coral atolls.
Vanua Lava Heights
Observe the towering volcanic peaks and dense rainforests of the largest island in the Banks group.
Mota Lava and Ra
Spot the white sandy beaches and jagged limestone cliffs of these neighboring emerald islands.
Lake Letas
On the approach to Gaua, look for the massive freshwater lake surrounding the active Mount Garet volcano.
Choose the left side for morning flights to ensure the islands are illuminated by the sun behind you. This side is essential for seeing the unique 'broken' volcano of Ureparapara. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the vibrant colors of the coral reefs through the aircraft window.

Sunset Vistas

Gaua Western Cliffs
