Gulf of St. Lawrence
Continuous views of the deep blue gulf waters, often featuring whitecaps and varying shades of turquoise near the shore.
Kegaska Archipelago
A complex network of small, rocky islands and islets scattered just off the coast immediately after takeoff.
Marine Life Spotting
During summer months, keep a close watch on the water surface for the distinctive spouts of minke or fin whales.
Coastal Inlets
Frequent sightings of pristine, uninhabited sandy coves carved into the ancient Canadian Shield rock.
Sit on the left to maximize your view of the maritime landscape. On early morning flights, the sun rises over the gulf, creating a glittering 'glitter path' on the water. Bring binoculars if possible, as the flight maintains a relatively low altitude, allowing for detailed observation of the coastline and potential sea life.

Boreal Forest
A vast, unbroken carpet of black spruce and balsam fir that characterizes the wild interior of the Côte-Nord.
Natashquan River
The winding, powerful river known for its legendary Atlantic salmon, visible as the aircraft prepares for its final approach.
Glacial Pothole Lakes
Thousands of small, tea-colored lakes and peatlands dotting the taiga landscape like fragments of a mirror.
Village of Natashquan
A bird's-eye view of the historic village, the birthplace of Gilles Vigneault, just before touching down at YNA.
The right side is ideal for those interested in the 'Big North' wilderness. Watch for the dramatic sandbars at the mouth of the Natashquan River. In autumn, the scattered deciduous trees and bog plants turn vibrant shades of orange and red against the dark green conifers.
