Sub-Arctic Scenic Helicopter Flight Over the Labrador Coast

Soar over the raw, glacier-carved coastline of Labrador on a private helicopter flight, taking in the sweeping fjords, sea-ice remnants, and tundra wilderness that stretch endlessly from Hopedale.

What to expect

Lift off from the Hopedale airstrip into a sky so vast it redefines your sense of scale. The pilot sweeps out over the Labrador Sea, revealing a coastline of shattered fjords, hidden coves, and boreal taiga that has barely changed since the last Ice Age. Icebergs drifting south from Greenland are a near-constant presence in early summer; in July and August, beluga whales are frequently visible in the shallows from altitude. Every window is a painting.

Good to know

Coordinate directly with Air Labrador well before your voyage — schedules are weather-dependent. Weight limits apply per aircraft. The airstrip is a short drive from the dock; arrange a local taxi or community vehicle in advance. Morning flights offer the sharpest light.
