Luckily, the sky island you landed on has rockets and Zonai platforms. These can be used to get closer to Starview Island. I highly suggest grabbing all four rockets, using three to gain altitude and the last one to get as close as possible. Due to the low gravity, you’ll be able to safely paraglide the rest of the way.
