Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the intricate maze of islands forming the Archipel du Gros Mécatina.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Gulf of St. Lawrence

Expansive views of the deep blue waters where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean.

🏝️

Gros Mécatina Archipelago

A stunning collection of rocky islands and islets scattered along the coastline.

🏘️

Isolated Outposts

Aerial views of small fishing villages like Mutton Bay visible in the distance between the two stops.

🐋

Marine Mammals

During summer months, keep a sharp eye on the water for whale breaches or dolphin pods.

🧊

Winter Pack Ice

In winter, the Gulf transforms into a mesmerizing mosaic of shifting white and blue sea ice.

Since the flight is very short (approximately 15-20 minutes), have your camera ready immediately after takeoff. Sit as far forward or aft of the wing as possible to get an unobstructed view of the coastline. In summer, polarized sunglasses help cut the glare off the water to see the underwater shoals.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Boreal Wilderness

Dense stretches of subarctic forest and untouched northern wilderness extending toward the interior.

🪨

Canadian Shield

Ancient granite outcrops and rugged geological formations characteristic of the eastern Quebec landscape.

💎

Glacial Lakes

A high density of small, crystal-clear kettle lakes and ponds carved by retreating glaciers.

🦅

Inland Plateaus

Elevated rocky plateaus that provide a sense of the immense scale of the Lower North Shore.

Look for the stark transition between forest and bare rock. This side is particularly interesting during the 'Golden Hour' when the low sun highlights the textures of the Canadian Shield. Keep an eye out for local trails used by snowmobiles in winter.
