Which side of the plane to sit from Bauerfield International Airport (Port-vila) to Norsup Airport (Norsup)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a world-class aerial tour of Vanuatu's active volcanic arc, including the perfectly conical Lopevi volcano and the massive, smoking craters of Ambrym.
Search flights from VLI to NUS
Lopevi Volcano
A breathtaking view of one of the world's most active and perfectly shaped stratovolcanoes rising from the sea.
Ambrym Caldera
The vast, desolate ash plains and the smoking Marum and Benbow craters of the 'Black Island'.
Shepherd Islands
A picturesque chain of volcanic islands including Emae and Tongoa surrounded by vibrant turquoise reefs.
Port Sandwich
A beautiful deep-water natural harbor at the southeast tip of Malekula visible during the descent.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. For the best view of Ambrym's craters, try to sit behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Clouds often gather around the peaks by midday, so early morning flights provide the highest chance of seeing the smoke plumes clearly. Keep your camera ready shortly after passing Epi island.

Coral Sea Expanse
Endless views of the deep blue Pacific and dramatic underwater shelf drop-offs.
North Efate Coast
The rugged northern coastline of the main island featuring secluded beaches and limestone cliffs.
Malekula Shoreline
Dense tropical rainforests meeting the sea on the western side of the aircraft as you approach Norsup.
Choose this side for softer morning light and to avoid the intense tropical sun reflecting off the water. It is ideal for photographers looking to capture the gradient of the reef colors along the coast of Malekula during the final descent.
