YNAYHR

Which side of the plane to sit from Natashquan Airport (Natashquan) to Chevery Airport (Chevery)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Lower North Shore coastline, including the intricate archipelagos and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Mecatina Archipelago

A stunning collection of barren, rocky islands scattered across the Gulf's clear waters.

🏘️

Kégashka Village

The easternmost point of the Quebec highway system, visible as a small cluster of resilience on the coast.

🚢

Gulf of St. Lawrence

Keep an eye out for fishing vessels and, during migratory seasons, the occasional whale breach.

🏘️

Harrington Harbour

One of the most scenic island villages in Canada, famous for its wooden boardwalks instead of roads.

🧊

Coastal Ice Floes

In late winter and early spring, the coastline is transformed by dramatic pack ice and frozen bays.

The right side is essential for seeing the unique coastal communities that are inaccessible by road. For the best photography of the island clusters, use a fast shutter speed to capture the intricate shoreline details during the descent into Chevery.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Natashquan River Delta

A sprawling network of sediment-rich waters flowing into the Gulf immediately after takeoff.

🌲

Boreal Shield Forest

Dense, untouched coniferous forests punctuated by ancient rock formations of the Canadian Shield.

💧

Musquaro River

A winding river system that serves as a historic transportation route for the Innu people.

🏔️

Glacial Scouring

Visible patterns on the landscape showcasing the powerful movement of glaciers from the last ice age.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight glinting off the thousands of small inland lakes. This side is ideal for those interested in the raw, uninhabited wilderness of northern Quebec and the complex hydrology of the region.
