Sept-Îles Archipelago
A stunning collection of seven islands, including Île Grande Basque and Île aux Corbeaux, visible shortly after departure.
Sept-Îles Cityfront
Clear views of the city's coastal layout and the urban waterfront as the plane climbs.
Port Menier Village
The historic heart of Anticosti Island, showing the unique grid layout and small-town charm.
Baie Gamache
The deep-water bay serving as the gateway to Anticosti, often featuring supply ships or fishing boats.
Sit on the left for the best views of the islands during the initial climb. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent lighting for photography of the archipelago. Keep your camera ready as soon as the wheels retract, as the flight duration is very short (roughly 30-40 minutes).

Pointe-Noire
Massive industrial port facilities and iron ore loading docks visible on the western edge of the bay.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Expansive views of the deep blue waters where the St. Lawrence River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Anticosti Limestone Cliffs
The rugged western coastline of the island, characterized by distinctive limestone formations and pebble beaches.
Boreal Forest Canopy
The dense, untouched wilderness of Anticosti Island, famous for its massive population of white-tailed deer.
The right side is ideal for spotting the industrial scale of the region's shipping economy. As you descend into Port Menier, look closely at the shoreline for the white limestone cliffs that are iconic to Anticosti. In winter, this side offers a dramatic view of the sea ice formations moving through the Gulf.
