Coastal Archipelago
An intricate maze of rocky islands and islets scattered along the shoreline.
Marine Life Potential
During summer months, keep your eyes peeled for minke or humpback whales in the deeper coastal channels.
The Supply Route
You may spot the 'Bella Desgagnés' supply ship or small fishing boats navigating the sheltered passages.
Tête-à-la-Baleine Approach
A great view of the remote village and its colorful houses as the plane descends.
The right side is the 'ocean side' and is generally preferred for this short hop. Because the flight is extremely short and at a low altitude, usually in a Twin Otter aircraft, visibility is excellent. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography of the turquoise coastal waters and rocky shoals.

Netagamiou River Mouth
Watch the dark river water spill into the blue Gulf shortly after takeoff from Chevery.
Glaciated Terrain
Exposed granite of the Canadian Shield showing clear signs of ancient glacial scouring.
Stunted Boreal Forest
Low-lying spruce and fir trees clinging to the rocky soil in this subarctic climate.
Sit on the left for a closer look at the raw, uninhabited interior of the Quebec wilderness. This side is particularly striking in the morning when the low sun casts long shadows across the rocky ridges and numerous small inland ponds.
