Côte-Nord Wilderness
Stunning views of the untamed boreal forest and the rocky granite coastline stretching towards Baie-Comeau.
Manicouagan Outflow
The impressive industrial and natural landscape where the Manicouagan River enters the St. Lawrence.
Saguenay Fjord Mouth
The iconic meeting point of the Saguenay and St. Lawrence rivers at Tadoussac, marked by deep blue glacial waters.
Charlevoix Crater
The mountainous and crater-formed topography of the Charlevoix region, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Montmorency Falls
A spectacular perspective of the 83-meter high waterfall just before the plane aligns for the YQB runway.
The right side is the 'land side' and is highly recommended. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to capture the Saguenay Fjord mouth clearly. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Charlevoix mountains, while autumn flights offer vibrant foliage colors along the hillsides.

St. Lawrence Estuary
The massive expanse of the world's largest estuary, showing the deep blue transition from river to sea.
Gaspé Peninsula Views
Distant views of the south shore mountain ranges across the water, including the Chic-Choc peaks on clear days.
Île d'Orléans
Detailed views of the historic long-lot agricultural patterns and vineyards as you approach Quebec City.
Sainte-Foy Bridges
A glimpse of the Pierre-Laporte and Quebec bridges spanning the narrowing river during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the vastness of the water and the distant south shore. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun reflecting off the river.
