Minas Basin
Witness the dramatic red mudflats and silt-laden waters shaped by the world's highest tides.
Cape Split
Look for the sharp, hook-shaped basalt cliffs extending into the Bay of Fundy near the Blomidon Peninsula.
Annapolis Valley Edge
A view of the fertile agricultural corridor of Nova Scotia bordering the North Mountain range.
Saint John River
On approach, follow the winding path of New Brunswick's primary waterway as it leads toward Fredericton.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Bay of Fundy's rugged coastline. For midday flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or lower the shade partially. In autumn, this side provides spectacular views of the changing foliage in the river valleys.

Cobequid Bay
The easternmost extension of the Minas Basin, featuring vast sandbars visible during low tide.
Cobequid Mountains
Glimpse the ancient, rolling hills that form part of the Appalachian range in central Nova Scotia.
Chignecto Isthmus
The narrow strip of land connecting Nova Scotia to the rest of North America near Amherst.
Grand Lake
As you descend into New Brunswick, look for the province's largest open body of fresh water to the northeast.
Choose the right side if you prefer a view away from the sun on afternoon flights. This side is excellent for spotting the Chignecto Isthmus and the massive wind turbines near the New Brunswick border. Keep an eye out for the vast, uninhabited forest canopy that defines the interior of the Maritimes.
