Nova Scotia Interior
Aerial views of the dense evergreen forests and glacial lakes of the Shubenacadie region shortly after takeoff.
Northumberland Strait
The crossing over the shallow, warm waters of the strait that separates mainland Canada from the island.
Confederation Bridge
The 12.9km engineering marvel is clearly visible to the west as you approach the Prince Edward Island coastline.
Red Sandstone Cliffs
Dramatic views of the iron-rich, crumbling red cliffs near Borden-Carleton and the southern shore of PEI.
Patchwork Farmland
The iconic red-soil potato fields and rolling green hills that define the landscape of the 'Garden of the Gulf'.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Confederation Bridge. Since the flight is under 30 minutes, stay alert from takeoff. Sunset flights are particularly beautiful as the light hits the red cliffs, making them glow intensely. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.

Pictou & Caribou
Views of the historic town of Pictou and the Caribou ferry terminal where the PEI ferry departs.

A small, remote island in the Northumberland Strait known for its off-grid community and beautiful beaches.
Charlottetown Harbour
A bird's-eye view of the historic capital's waterfront and the cruise ship terminal upon final approach.
Hillsborough River
The wide, meandering river that wraps around the eastern side of the Charlottetown peninsula.
The right side is excellent for seeing the city of Charlottetown itself during the descent. If you are flying in the late afternoon, this side will have less glare, making it better for photography. Look for the ferry path between Caribou, NS and Wood Islands, PEI mid-flight.
