St. Lawrence Estuary
The vast expanse of the river where freshwater meets salt, often appearing deep blue or emerald.
Saguenay Fjord Mouth
The confluence where the Saguenay River meets the St. Lawrence near Tadoussac, a world-famous whale-watching area.
Charlevoix Crater
Fly over the massive impact crater zone, featuring dramatic cliffs and the Massif de Charlevoix mountains.
Montmorency Falls
See the waterfall that is higher than Niagara Falls just before the plane turns for its final approach.
Old Quebec Skyline
A stunning view of the Château Frontenac and the historic fortified city walls as you descend into YQB.
The right side is the 'water side' for the duration of the flight. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the North Shore cliffs and the Quebec City skyline. Keep your camera ready during the last 10 minutes of the flight for the iconic Montmorency Falls.

Chic-Choc Mountains
View the highest peaks of the Appalachian range in Quebec, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Bic National Park
Spot the intricate coastline of capes, islands, and coves near Rimouski, known for its unique microclimate.
Kamouraska Farmlands
A beautiful patchwork of rectangular ancestral farms stretching between the mountains and the river.
Appalachian Ridges
Rolling forested hills that turn into a vibrant tapestry of red and gold during the autumn foliage season.
Sit on the left for the best views of the interior Gaspé Peninsula mountains during takeoff. In the morning, this side is shaded, making it easier to take photos without glare. During winter, look for the distinct 'ice bridges' forming along the southern shoreline of the St. Lawrence.
