Aerosport: Paragliding Over the Red Cliffs & Dunes

Soar tandem above the Magdalen Islands' iconic red sandstone cliffs and endless dune systems with Aerosport, the islands' premier aerial adventures specialist. Nothing rivals the view of this remote archipelago from 300 metres up.

What to expect

After a brief ground briefing with your ACPQ-certified pilot, you launch from a clifftop or dune ridge and ride the thermals above the archipelago. The flight typically lasts 15–25 minutes, delivering sweeping views of Cap-aux-Meules, the lagoon sandbars, and the open Gulf. Landing is smooth and soft on the beach below. Your instructor narrates the landscape throughout — a living aerial map of the islands.
