Boreal Shield
Extensive views of the rugged Canadian Shield and deep green forests surrounding the Timmins mining region upon takeoff.
Lake Simcoe
A clear view of the eastern shores of Lake Simcoe and the transition from wilderness to Southern Ontario's agricultural land.
Toronto Skyline
The most iconic view of the CN Tower and the downtown financial district skyscrapers during the final descent into YTZ.
Toronto Islands
A bird's-eye perspective of the lush greenery and beaches of the Toronto Islands park system just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for the 'money shot' of downtown Toronto. The best lighting occurs during the late afternoon as the sun sets to the west, illuminating the glass skyscrapers in gold. During the winter, look for the frozen textures on Lake Simcoe and the Toronto Harbour.

Muskoka Lakes
Glimpse the famous cottage country, including Lake Muskoka and Lake Rosseau, known for their winding shorelines and islands.
Georgian Bay
On clear days, the vast blue expanse of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment can be seen in the distant west.
Toronto Harbour
A detailed look at the active harbour, marinas, and the western gap as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is excellent for seeing the expansive layout of the Greater Toronto Area and the industrial waterfront. If the plane arrives from the west, you will get a unique view of the Mississauga skyline and the lakefront parks. This side is generally better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun.
