Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the iconic Mamanuca and Yasawa island groups when approaching Fiji, featuring vibrant turquoise reefs and white sand cays.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mele Bay

Panoramic views of the deep blue bay and Port Vila coastline immediately after takeoff from Bauerfield.

🪸

Northern Efate Reefs

Intricate coral reef patterns and turquoise lagoons surrounding the northern tip of Efate island.

🏝️

Mamanuca Islands

Breathtaking aerial views of famous resort islands like Treasure, Beachcomber, and Mana during the descent into Nadi.

🛥️

Yasawa Archipelago

Distant volcanic peaks of the Yasawa island chain visible to the north on a clear day.

🏖️

Nadi Bay

Shallow, crystal-clear waters and sandbars flanking the approach path into Nadi International.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing to capture the best photos of the Mamanuca Islands. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is positioned to illuminate the shallow reefs without creating glare on the window.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

Erakor Lagoon

Aerial perspective of the turquoise lagoon and luxury overwater bungalows on the outskirts of Port Vila.

🌴

Southern Efate Coast

Dense tropical rainforest meeting the rugged volcanic coastline of southern Vanuatu.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue South Pacific Ocean during the cruise phase.

⛰️

Mount Saint Evans

Views of the lush, mountainous interior of Viti Levu as the aircraft turns toward the runway.

🌄

Sleeping Giant

The silhouette of the Sabeto Mountains, famously known as the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, visible on final approach.

The right side is excellent for observing the main island's topography. During afternoon flights, this side experiences less direct sunlight, making it more comfortable and easier for photography of the Fijian mainland.
