Tantramar Marshes
A vast, historic salt marsh landscape located near the border of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Minas Basin
The eastern extension of the Bay of Fundy, showcasing dramatic red silt and extreme tidal shifts from above.
Cobequid Mountains
Rolling forested peaks that provide a textured green landscape as you cross into central Nova Scotia.
The right side is superior for geological interest. Check the local tide charts; if your flight coincides with low tide, the exposed red mudflats of the Minas Basin create stunning, alien-like patterns that are perfect for photography. Evening flights offer a spectacular golden hour glow over the Fundy coastline.

Shediac Bay
Visible shortly after takeoff from Moncton, you can spot the sandy shores of Parlee Beach and the lobster-rich waters.
Northumberland Strait
On clear days, look north toward the narrow body of water separating the mainland from Prince Edward Island.
Cumberland County Forests
Dense stretches of Acadian forest and small rural settlements dot the landscape during the mid-flight cruise.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. If the weather is exceptionally clear and the pilot takes a wider path, you might catch a distant silhouette of the Confederation Bridge to the north.
