Lake Poso
A magnificent view of Indonesia's third-deepest lake, known for its crystal-clear blue water and white sand shores.
Lore Lindu National Park
Vast expanses of untouched tropical rainforest and mountainous terrain in Central Sulawesi.
Togean Islands
Breathtaking views of the volcanic islands and coral atolls located in the heart of the Gulf of Tomini.
Gulf of Tomini
Crossing one of the calmest sea basins in the world, often showing vibrant reef colors near the shorelines.
Gorontalo Highlands
The dramatic approach into Jalaluddin Airport over the steep, verdant ridges of northern Sulawesi.
The right side is the 'star' for this route. Aim for a window seat behind the wing to capture the Togean Islands without engine obstruction. Early morning flights are highly recommended to see the turquoise rings of the coral reefs in the Gulf of Tomini under direct sunlight.

Makassar Cityscape
Aerial view of the Losari Beach area and the bustling port of Makassar immediately after takeoff.
Spermonde Archipelago
Clusters of small coral islands and turquoise reefs scattered in the Makassar Strait.
Mount Latimojong
View of the highest mountain range in Sulawesi, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Enrekang Karst
Unique limestone formations known as the 'Erotic Mountain' (Bambapuang) visible during the ascent.
Sit on the left for the best view of the departure from Makassar. Morning flights provide clearer views of the Latimojong range before afternoon clouds gather around the high peaks. This side is also better for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights.
