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.
