Montmorency Falls
Visible shortly after takeoff from YQB, these falls are significantly higher than Niagara Falls and mark the start of the scenic coastline.
Charlevoix Biosphere
View the massive meteor crater impact zone and the steep cliffs of Le Massif where the mountains meet the river.
Saguenay Fjord Mouth
Witness the dark, deep waters of the Saguenay Fjord flowing into the St. Lawrence at Tadoussac, a world-renowned whale-watching area.
Manicouagan Peninsula
As you descend into Baie-Comeau, watch the dense boreal forest and the intricate river deltas typical of the North Shore.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic topography. In autumn, the foliage on the Laurentian mountains is spectacular. For the best lighting, morning flights offer crisp detail of the mountain ridges, while late afternoon flights cast long, beautiful shadows in the Saguenay Fjord. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the falls.

Île d'Orléans
A bird's-eye view of the historic agricultural strips and traditional Quebecois architecture on this large river island.
Middle Estuary Islands
Spot Isle-aux-Coudres and the Grosse Île national historic site scattered across the widening St. Lawrence.
Maritime Shipping Channel
Watch huge container ships and tankers navigating the narrow shipping lanes of the St. Lawrence Estuary.
South Shore Silhouette
On clear days, see the distant profile of the Notre-Dame Mountains and the coastline of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.
The right side is best for those who enjoy expansive water views and the engineering of the shipping lanes. During the winter, this side offers a mesmerizing view of shifting ice floes in the estuary. If flying at sunset, the right side will catch the warm golden glow reflecting off the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence.
