The North Channel
Stunning views of the islands and popular sailing routes nestled between the mainland and Manitoulin Island.
Bruce Peninsula
The dramatic white limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment where they meet the deep waters of Lake Huron.
Tobermory & Fathom Five
Look for the distinctive 'Flowerpot' rock formations and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the national marine park.
Blue Mountain
The prominent ridge of the Niagara Escarpment and the ski hills near Collingwood and the Beaver Valley.
Mississauga Skyline
A close-up view of the 'Marilyn Monroe' towers and the sprawling urban landscape of Peel Region during landing.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic beauty. For the best views of the Bruce Peninsula's turquoise water, book a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the lake floor but not yet causing heavy glare. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes into the flight for the Tobermory coastline.

St. Marys River
Aerial view of the locks and shipping channels connecting Lake Superior and Lake Huron shortly after takeoff.
Manitoulin Island
Glance at the northern coastline and the numerous inland lakes of the world's largest freshwater island.
Georgian Bay Expanse
Deep blue waters and the rocky coastline of the Canadian Shield stretching toward the horizon.
GTA Suburbs
The dense suburban grid of Vaughan and Richmond Hill as the plane begins its final descent into Pearson.
Sit on the left if you want a better view of the northern Ontario mainland and the massive expanse of Lake Simcoe in the distance during descent. This side avoids direct afternoon sun glare on southward flights.
