Search flights from YHU to YBG
St. Lawrence River
Expansive views of the river's widening estuary and the maritime traffic heading toward the Atlantic.
Île d'Orléans
A distant look at the historic agricultural island located just downstream from Quebec City.
Grands-Jardins Plateau
The unique subarctic tundra vegetation and craggy peaks of the Charlevoix biosphere reserve.
Saguenay Fjord
The dramatic, steep-walled cliffs and dark waters where the Saguenay River meets the St. Lawrence.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent into Bagotville, watch for the distinct change in topography as the plane aligns with the Saguenay River's deep fjord walls. In autumn, this side offers spectacular views of the changing maple and birch foliage along the riverbanks.
