Discovery Passage
Witness the swirling currents and narrow channels that separate Vancouver Island from the Discovery Islands immediately after takeoff.
Quadra Island & Rebecca Spit
Spot the iconic long, narrow sandbar of Rebecca Spit Provincial Park jutting into Sutil Channel.
Coast Mountain Range
On clear days, enjoy the panoramic backdrop of the snow-capped mainland mountains across the Strait of Georgia.
Strait of Georgia Marine Life
Keep an eye out for BC Ferries, commercial vessels, and occasionally pods of orcas or humpback whales in the open water.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Discovery Islands. This side is also preferred for the descent into YQQ, as the flight path often arcs over the water for a scenic approach to Runway 12.

Strathcona Provincial Park
Glimpse the jagged peaks and dense ancient forests of British Columbia's oldest provincial park to the west.
Mount Washington
Visible as a prominent peak, you can often see the ski runs and alpine resort infrastructure during the mid-flight segment.
Miracle Beach
View the expansive sandy shoreline and forest trails of this popular provincial park as you track south along the coastline.
Oyster River
Watch the river mouth transition from the island's interior into the salty waters of the Salish Sea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the water. It provides a better perspective of the Vancouver Island interior and the Forbidden Plateau's sub-alpine terrain.
