Overview
- Explore Ontario’s majestic north and witness the rugged Canadian Shield, awash in vibrant autumn colours. Breathe in Tobermory’s cooling bay breezes as you admire the turquoise waters of this quaint harbour town. Cross Devil’s Gap aboard the Chi-Cheemaun ferry to Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater island in the world!
- Once in Sault Ste Marie, there are two options. With one, it’s “All aboard the Agawa Canyon Train!” Enjoy the passing landscapes and explore the canyon during a lunch break before you begin the return trip, snaking back through ravines and crossing gorges on trestle bridges. With stunning scenery and a relaxing train excursion, this is a quintessential Canadian experience. Alternatively, take a guided Lake Superior Coastal drive. View the distinct landscapes that inspired The Group of Seven artists over a hundred years ago, visit the Voyageur’s Lodge and Lake Superior Provincial Park, and enjoy one of the most scenic drives in Ontario.
