Which side of the plane to sit from Natashquan Airport (Natashquan) to La Romaine Airport (La Romaine)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the Gulf of St. Lawrence, showcasing the dramatic meeting of the rugged Canadian Shield and the sea.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
The vast, deep blue waters of the Gulf stretching toward the horizon.
La Romaine Archipelago
Dozens of small, rocky islands and granite outcrops protecting the mainland coast.
Marine Life Spotting
During summer months, keep a lookout for whale spouts or seals near the shoreline.
Granite Shorelines
The stark, beautiful contrast of grey rock meeting the crashing surf of the Gulf.
Isolated Settlements
Aerial views of tiny, remote coastal communities accessible only by air or sea.
Sit on the right side for the entire flight to see the unique island clusters as you approach Gethsemani (La Romaine). Morning flights offer the best lighting to see into the clear coastal waters without glare.
Boreal Wilderness
An endless expanse of dense black spruce and balsam fir forests stretching North.
Musquaro River
A significant waterway that snakes through the inland landscape toward the coast.
Glacial Lake Mosaic
A sparkling network of thousands of small, irregular lakes left by retreating glaciers.
Exposed Shield
Ancient Precambrian rock formations protruding through the thin northern soil.
Best viewed during the afternoon when the sun is in the south, casting long shadows that highlight the intricate textures of the Canadian Shield. Look for the massive Musquaro River shortly after departure from Natashquan.
