Which side of the plane to sit from Uléi Airport (Ambryn Island) to Tavie Airport (Paama Island)?

Lopevi Volcano
A breathtaking view of one of the most active and perfectly conical volcanoes in the New Hebrides arc.
Coral Sea Expanse
Vibrant turquoise waters transitioning into the deep indigo of the Pacific as you cross the channel.
Epi Island Silhouette
On clear days, the northern coastline of Epi Island is visible on the distant horizon during the descent.
The flight duration is extremely short (approx. 15 minutes), so secure your window seat early. The morning light (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) illuminates the western face of Lopevi beautifully, making it the prime time for photography of the volcanic cone.

Ambryn Jungle Canopy
Dense, prehistoric-looking tropical rainforests covering the southern slopes of Ambryn Island immediately after takeoff.
Volcanic Ash Plumes
Distant views of smoke and ash rising from the Marum and Benbow craters in the center of Ambryn.
Tavie Settlements
Aerial view of the coastal villages and traditional gardens of Paama Island during the final approach.
Choose the right side if you are interested in the geology of Ambryn itself; you can often see the distinct change in vegetation caused by volcanic ash fall. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Paama coastline without sun glare.
