Magdalen Archipelago
Stunning views of the sand dunes and lagoons connecting Île du Havre aux Maisons and Île du Cap aux Meules.
Percé Rock
The legendary monolithic limestone formation may be visible in the distance during the northern approach sequence.
Bonaventure Island
The famous bird sanctuary, home to one of the world's largest Northern Gannet colonies, seen off the Gaspé coast.
Gaspé Peninsula
Rugged, forested terrain and high cliffs that characterize the southeastern tip of Quebec.
The right side is essential for seeing the main islands of the archipelago during takeoff. For the best photography, a morning flight avoids direct sun glare and highlights the red clay of the cliffs. Look forward and right during descent to spot the dramatic silhouette of Percé Rock if the flight path tracks slightly north of the direct route.

Île d'Entrée
The only inhabited island of the archipelago not connected by sand dunes, featuring rolling green hills.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with fishing vessels and occasional whale sightings.
Baie des Chaleurs
A member of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World club, visible as the aircraft crosses into the inlet.
Miscou Island
On clear days, the northern tip of New Brunswick and the Miscou Lighthouse are visible to the south.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the Baie des Chaleurs if flying in the late afternoon. During winter months, this side provides the best perspective of the moving ice floes and the unique textures of the frozen Gulf. Keep an eye out for the distinct coastline of New Brunswick as you approach the destination.
