Sepik River Meanders
The 'Amazon of PNG' is visible with its incredible oxbow lakes and winding brown waters cutting through the jungle.
Mount Wilhelm
If the flight path stays west, you can spot the jagged peaks of PNG's highest mountain in the distance.
Central Highlands
Breathtaking views of remote limestone karsts, deep valleys, and isolated mountain villages.
Gulf of Papua Deltas
As you cross the peninsula, the massive river deltas of the southern coast come into view.
Coral Sea Approach
Aerial views of the Great Barrier Reef's northernmost reaches and the azure waters of the Coral Sea.
The Sepik River is the highlight; keep your camera ready within 15-20 minutes of takeoff. Opt for a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to ensure the Highlands aren't hidden by the heavy afternoon convective clouds typical of the tropics.

Stunning turquoise reefs and coastal inlets visible immediately after takeoff from Wewak.
Schouten Islands
A chain of volcanic islands visible to the northeast as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
Ramu River Basin
Vast stretches of tropical savannah and river systems bordering the eastern mountain ranges.
Bismarck Range
The eastern slopes of the central spine, often shrouded in dramatic cloud formations.
Port Moresby Suburbs
Views of the expanding residential areas and hills surrounding the capital during the final approach.
Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Bismarck Sea. This side is slightly better for seeing the city layout of Port Moresby if the flight approaches from the north over the mountains.
