Airplane Flight to Tadoussac and the Saguenay Fjord
Description
Scenic Airplane Flight in Tadoussac from Les Escoumins
This airplane flight takes off from Les Escoumins, on the Haute-Côte-Nord, to reach the Tadoussac area from the air. This scenic flight includes about 1 hour on site, including approximately 30 minutes of flight. The route makes it possible to discover part of the St. Lawrence shoreline as well as the entrance to the Saguenay Fjord, in an area where the Saguenay River joins the river near Tadoussac.
The format is suitable for a first aerial discovery as well as for a small-group outing. The booking must be made for at least 2 people, with a total weight for all passengers that must not exceed 500 lb, or 227 kg. The activity is offered in French and English.
The Saguenay Fjord and the St. Lawrence seen from the airplane
Between Les Escoumins and Tadoussac, this sightseeing airplane flight offers a perfect viewpoint over the St. Lawrence shoreline, the areas of Quebec’s Haute-Côte-Nord, and the meeting area between the fjord and the river. This perspective helps understand the scale of the territory: the shore, the stretches of water, and the mountains fit into the same panorama, while they are usually discovered separately from the road or the shoreline.
The approach to Tadoussac makes it possible to observe the area located at the mouth of the Saguenay River, with the Saguenay Fjord extending for about 105 km and its terrain shaped by glaciers. Whales frequent the waters of this region to feed; their presence can sometimes be spotted from the air, without any observation being guaranteed.
How the flight works and on-board guidance
Upon arrival, passengers are welcomed for check-in, then take their seats on board. After takeoff, the pilot flies over the region and comments on the main points of interest. Aviation headsets are provided to hear the explanations during the flight. The route continues toward Tadoussac before landing at Les Escoumins.
Plan to bring sunglasses, a camera, and clothing suited to the weather, similar to what you would wear for a hike. If the activity has to be canceled because of weather conditions, a free rescheduling or refund is planned.
