Maiana Atoll
A stunning ring-shaped coral reef system visible almost immediately after departing Tarawa airspace.
Gilbert Island Chain
Glimpse remote atolls like Abemama and Kuria as the flight path tracks south through Kiribati.
Yasawa Island Group
A spectacular chain of approximately 20 volcanic islands known for their dramatic cliffs and turquoise lagoons.
Mamanuca Islands
Fly over world-famous coral reefs and tiny resort islands like Tavarua just before touching down.
Western Sunset
On late afternoon flights, witness the sun setting over the horizon, casting a golden glow on the Fijian reefs.
This is the premier side for photography. You will pass the Yasawa Islands about 20 to 30 minutes before landing, offering some of the best aerial island views in the world. On the descent, the transition from deep ocean blue to shallow reef turquoise is exceptionally vivid from this side.

South Tarawa Atoll
Observe the densely populated narrow strips of land forming the southern edge of the lagoon immediately after departure.
Pacific Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the vastness of the equatorial region.
Northern Viti Levu
Views of the rugged mountainous regions and lush forests of Fiji's main island during the final descent stages.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. While it has more open ocean than the right, the approach into Nadi still provides a good look at the lush greenery of Fiji's main island. Polarized lenses are helpful to see the coral structures through the water glare.
