Tailor Made Holidays in Ontario, Canada: Introduction

This huge province stretches all the way from the Great Lakes on the USA border to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay, covering more than one million square kilometres.

Home to Canada’s largest city, Toronto, and its capital, Ottawa, the province also boasts one of the world’s great natural wonders, Niagara Falls. Charming villages such as Niagara-on-the-Lake and Goderich can be combined with the wineries and birdlife of Pelee Island, the thriving art scene of Prince Edward County and Manitoulin Island’s large First Nations population who hold pow-wows of traditional dancing and singing throughout the summer months. Killarney and Algonquin Provincial Parks are accessible gems that offer wonderful wildlife viewing, canoeing and fishing.

Meanwhile, the remote north and west is a land of forest and tundra, with a vibrant Cree culture and important settler history including the Hudson Bay Company’s first outpost at Moosonee. Polar Bear Provincial Park covers thousands of square kilometres and visiting these remote areas by plane, train and boat opens up the possibility of excellent wildlife viewing on both land and sea.

With its modern cities, grand landscapes and prolific wildlife, the great expanses of Ontario are a joy to explore.
