Helicopter Tour · Charlevoix
How to choose
Two flights, one operator, a 1,565.49 $ CAD gap: the choice comes down to how deep you want the experience to go. Héli-Charlevoix's 40 min flight at 362.19 $ CAD covers the iconic Charlevoix landscape from above, the Saint Lawrence River estuary, the crater bowl and the cliffs, with no stops. It's the sharpest entry point into aerial adrenaline. The 3h option at 1,927.68 $ CAD adds a stopover at the Cap de la Tête au Chien lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence south shore, turning a flyover into a full immersive outing. Both tours are open to all fitness levels and operate in French and English. Pick the 40 min for a pure overhead rush. Go for the 3h if you want to land somewhere remote and earn a story.

Practical info
Equipment
Both tours are open to all fitness levels, so no special gear is required. Wear layers: altitude above the Saint Lawrence drops the temperature noticeably even in summer, and the 3h outing includes time outside at the lighthouse stopover. Bring sunglasses to cut the glare over the water and keep your camera strap secured tightly.
Getting there
Both tours depart from Héli-Charlevoix at 735 Boulevard Mgr de Laval in Baie-Saint-Paul, roughly 90 km northeast of Quebec City via Route 138.
