Lift off with Héli-Charlevoix and experience breathtaking aerial views of Quebec’s stunning wilderness. From river vistas to mountain waterfalls, see the region like never before in this exhilarating helicopter tour.
Situated in the scenic town of Baie-St-Paul in Quebec, Héli-Charlevoix offers an unmatched way to view the region’s striking natural beauty from the sky. Their helicopter flights deliver a bird’s-eye perspective of some of the most picturesque landscapes in Canada, making every trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventure seekers and sightseers alike. The company’s signature 50-kilometer flights showcase two distinct routes, each offering a different way to take in the wild charm of Charlevoix.
The first route, 'Le fleuve et son île,' transports passengers over the mighty St. Lawrence River, where the shimmering waters carve their way past Isle-aux-Coudres, a small island renowned for its vibrant maritime culture and charming villages. This flight reveals sweeping river views, the lush riverbanks, and the historic charm of the region’s waterways. The second option, 'Les Montagnes à vos Pieds,' takes guests high above the rugged terrain of Grands Jardins National Park. Here, panoramic vistas stretch across dense forests and rolling hills, culminating in a stunning 12-meter waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff face—an exhilarating sight from the air.
Héli-Charlevoix’s helicopter trips are an exceptional way to grasp the scale and diversity of Quebec’s countryside. Whether you're flying over the river’s meanderings or the mountain wilderness, each journey offers a unique perspective that combines natural grandeur with local history. Open year-round, these flights are particularly breathtaking during fall when foliage transforms the landscape into a fiery mosaic.
Perfect for couples or small groups, the experience is designed to be safe and comfortable, allowing travelers to focus on the awe-inspiring sights and the thrill of flight. Héli-Charlevoix’s flights represent a rare opportunity to see Quebec’s untouched wilderness from a vantage point few get to experience—an unforgettable highlight of any outdoor adventure itinerary in the region.
