Search flights from YHR to ZGS
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Panoramic views of the deep blue waters that define the maritime identity of the Côte-Nord region.
Mecatina Archipelago
A complex network of windswept, granite islands and rocky outcrops scattered along the coastline.
Marine Life Sightings
In clear conditions and low altitudes, keep an eye out for whales and seals frequenting the nutrient-rich waters.
Coastal Fishing Boats
Small vessels dotting the shoreline near isolated fishing outposts, highlighting local culture.
Sit on the left for the best sunlight exposure during morning flights, which illuminates the island clusters perfectly. Because this is a very short coastal hop, the plane usually flies at a lower altitude, making the details of the surf and rocky shoals highly visible. Look for the distinctive turquoise patches in the shallow coves.

Vast Boreal Forest
An endless carpet of spruce and fir trees representing the wild, untouched taiga of northern Quebec.
Netagamiou River
A major waterway snaking through the Canadian Shield, often featuring dramatic white-water sections.
Glacial Lake Mosaic
Countless small, pristine lakes formed by retreating glaciers, creating a mirror-like effect on the land.
Canadian Shield Outcrops
Ancient, exposed rock formations that reveal the geological history of the North American continent.
The right side is ideal for travelers interested in the vastness of the Canadian wilderness. During the autumn months (September), the muskeg and shrubs turn vibrant oranges and reds, offering a spectacular contrast against the dark green forest. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the intricate river patterns.
