Ontario Holiday Highlights

Canada's Parliament

As the seat of Canadian legislative power, the House of Commons is located high on a hill and is a must-visit attraction while in Ottawa. With free tours throughout the day, you can learn more about the history of the building and its role in shaping the future of Canada.

Island hopping

Take a voyage through the stunning 1000 Islands region in style with a trip on the family-owned Gananoque Boat Line. Located just two hours outside Ottawa, from this jaw-droppingly beautiful place you can take a superb cruise and explore the sapphire blue waters of this enchanting region and its charming islands.

Day at the beach

Boasting three fantastic beaches that are perfect for every occasion and with great walking trails of the sand dunes, this is much more than just a trip to the beach. If spending a day by the shore is on your to-do list, a visit to one of these superb beaches is a must.

Discover the Museums

Toronto is known for its rich history and there is nowhere better to discover the city’s vibrant past than in one of the many museums. We recommend the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Ontario Science Centre for fascinating exhibits and interactive experiences.

Jet Boating

The excitement begins as the powerful jetboat speeds up river for a unique, 29-kilometre tour – making its way into the breathtaking 50-metre-high, stone-walled canyon of the Niagara Gorge. Hang on as the boat splashes into the white water of Devil’s Hole Rapids and makes its way to the famous Whirlpool Rapids – just a few kilometres below the tumbling waters of Niagara Falls. This awe-inspiring excursion will bring you face to face with one of Canada’s most spectacular sights. The trip is in a craft with an open deck giving passengers the full experience of a ride on the rushing Niagara River.

Wilderness adventures

Take a seaplane into the great outdoors with a Wilderness North adventure. Have a go at some fishing or even fly fishing and maybe even try your hand at canoeing. With astounding views and incredible experiences, take a trip into the real Canada with a Wilderness North adventure.

Shopping Adventures

It might have lots of wilderness, but Ontario also has some unbelievable shopping experiences. With a diverse mixture of shopping malls, brilliant boutiques and markets across the province you’ll never be short of opportunities to enjoy some retail therapy.

All Aboard!

Ontario is home to multiple fascinating rail tours. Including the Polar Express to the north, the Port Stanley Terminal Railway through the scenic Kettle Creek Valley, and the Credit Valley Explorer, a rail route established more than 130 years ago.

Canada's best wine region

Ontario is located within the 30th and 50th parallels of latitude in both hemispheres, which is considered by wine experts to be the perfect region for growing wine.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is Ontario's most famous wine region - but across the province, you'll find 170 vineyards producing a wide variety of red, white, rosé and sparkling wine, plus specialities like Icewine, Mead, maple, fruit wines and even lavender-infused dessert wine.
