Search flights from TVU to SUV
Somosomo Strait
Look down into the famous channel between Taveuni and Vanua Levu, known for its world-class vibrant coral reef systems.
Koro Island
Pass close to this volcanic island, which gave the Koro Sea its name, featuring lush plateaus and dramatic coastal cliffs.
Levuka on Ovalau
Spot Fiji's former capital and UNESCO World Heritage site nestled at the base of an extinct volcano along the shore.
Rewa River Delta
A stunning maze of silt-filled river channels and bright green mangrove forests just minutes before touchdown at SUV.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and window glare. It provides a much more varied landscape, ranging from volcanic peaks to the complex hydrology of Fiji's largest river system. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the delta views.

Taveuni Coastline
Aerial view of the 'Garden Island's' dense rainforests and steep volcanic ridges immediately after takeoff.
Gau Island
The largest of the Lomaiviti islands appears as a rugged, mountainous landmass surrounded by turquoise reef fringes.
Laucala Bay
Clear views of Suva's suburbs, the University of the South Pacific campus, and the coastal wetlands near Nausori.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Koro Sea. It offers the best perspective of the Suva city skyline as the plane aligns for its final approach into the Rewa valley. Be aware that most of the mid-flight is over open water.
