Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the world-renowned Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏝️

Sept-Îles Archipelago

A stunning view of the seven islands that give the city its name immediately after takeoff.

🗿

Mingan Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the limestone monoliths and over 1,000 islands and islets.

🐳

Gulf of St. Lawrence

The vast expanse of the inner sea where you might spot whale spouts during the summer months.

🕯️

Île aux Perroquets

A historic lighthouse island that serves as a sanctuary for Atlantic puffins and razorbills.

⛴️

Havre-Saint-Pierre Port

The industrial and fishing hub of the coast visible as the plane turns for its final approach.

The right side is essential for seeing the Mingan monoliths. Choose a window seat away from the wing to capture the turquoise coastal waters. Since this is a short, low-altitude flight, the details of the islands are very clear. Late afternoon flights offer a stunning golden hour glow over the Gulf.

🌳

Boreal Forest Canopy

Dense, untouched stretches of the Canadian Shield's coniferous forests spanning to the horizon.

🌊

Moisie River Delta

One of the most powerful salmon rivers in Quebec, visible shortly after departure from Sept-Îles.

🏘️

Rivière-au-Tonnerre

A bird's-eye view of this picturesque coastal village known for its historic wooden church.

🏔️

Laurentian Plateaus

The rugged, rocky terrain of the North Shore featuring ancient geological formations.

Sit on the left if you prefer the ruggedness of the Canadian wilderness. Morning flights provide excellent soft lighting over the rivers and lakes. Look for the white water of the many rapids on the Romaine River as you approach Havre-Saint-Pierre.
