Broadback River
Follow the course of one of Quebec's most significant and powerful heritage rivers.
Lac Evans
A massive, island-filled lake that dominates the mid-flight landscape with its rugged coastline.
Rupert Bay Estuary
The dramatic meeting point of freshwater rivers and the saltwater of James Bay.
Waskaganish Coastline
Aerial perspective of one of the oldest fur-trading posts and the historic Cree community.
Sit on the right for the best views of the large lake systems. In winter, the ice patterns on Lac Evans are spectacular. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the transition from deep forest to the tidal flats of the James Bay coast.

Boreal Expanse
Infinite stretches of black spruce and tamarack forest typical of the Eeyou Istchee region.
Assinica Wildlife Reserve
Views of the pristine wilderness protected area, home to caribou and moose.
Muskeg Patterns
Intricate patterns of peatlands and small ponds that create a unique mosaic from the air.
Look for the subtle color shifts in the boggy terrain; in late summer, the mosses turn deep oranges and reds. This side is better for spotting wildlife in the clearings if flying at lower altitudes during the morning.
