Discover natural escapes, cultural icons, and outdoor adventures across Ontario, Canada

Welcome to Ontario Canada Adventure Travel, your eco-conscious and locally inspired travel guide to one of the most diverse provinces in the country. From thundering waterfalls and Great Lakes coastlines to vibrant cities and boreal forests, Ontario, Canada is a destination filled with year-round adventure. With endless activities, a strong cultural heritage, and a deep commitment to conservation, Ontario is the perfect playground for Canadian travel enthusiasts.

Ontario Canada Adventure Travel and Location Highlights

Ontario Canada Adventure Travel unfolds in east-central Canada, bordered by Quebec, Manitoba, the United States, and four of the five Great Lakes. The province is home to Canada’s most populated city, Toronto, and its capital city, Ottawa. These urban centres provide world-class museums, entertainment, and dining — but the real magic of Ontario lies beyond city lights.

Remarkably, Ontario contains over 250,000 lakes, making up one-fifth of the world’s freshwater. From hiking in ancient forests to canoeing in backcountry parks, the province is a haven for sustainable tourism and unforgettable wilderness experiences.

Activities and Things To Do in Ontario Canada Adventure Travel

Fortunately, Ontario Canada Adventure Travel offers an incredible variety of activities and things to do. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore hiking trails in Algonquin Provincial Park, paddle the historic waterways of the Trent-Severn, or cycle through the vineyards of Prince Edward County. In the winter, snowshoeing, skating, and cross-country skiing take over, with well-maintained trails across the province.

Because of its vast geography and four-season climate, Ontario makes trip planning easy no matter when you visit. Eco-conscious travelers can choose from hundreds of locally guided tours, Indigenous-led experiences, and conservation-focused adventures.

Tourism Tips and Ontario Canada Adventure Travel Highlights

Among the most iconic destinations in Ontario is Niagara Falls, one of the world's most famous waterfalls. However, it’s just one part of Ontario’s vast tourism landscape. Ottawa, Canada’s capital, boasts Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and national museums, while Toronto dazzles with cultural attractions, markets, and the CN Tower.

Additionally, eco-tourism is thriving across the province. For instance, Manitoulin Island — the world’s largest freshwater island — is a cultural gem with Indigenous tourism experiences and scenic beauty. Killarney, Lake Superior, and Quetico Provincial Parks provide rugged backcountry adventures and pristine campsites with minimal environmental impact.

Interestingly, Ontario is also home to the longest recreational trail in the world — The Great Trail — which stretches across multiple provinces and showcases Ontario's rural and urban diversity.

Ontario Parks, Trails, and Places of Interest

The province’s park system is a cornerstone of Ontario Canada Adventure Travel. Algonquin Park is world-renowned for wildlife viewing and backcountry camping, while Bruce Peninsula National Park offers crystal-clear waters, cliffs, and the famous Grotto cave.

Meanwhile, the Thousand Islands region is perfect for boating and island-hopping along the St. Lawrence River. Petroglyphs Provincial Park protects the largest concentration of Indigenous rock carvings in Canada, offering travelers a chance to connect with deep-rooted history.

Because so much of Ontario remains forested and protected, eco-conscious travel is both encouraged and easily accessible.

Eco-Friendly Planning Tips for Ontario Canada Adventure Travel

To preserve Ontario’s natural beauty, travelers are urged to follow Leave No Trace principles, support local and Indigenous businesses, and explore lesser-known destinations. Many operators offer carbon-neutral packages, and provincial parks have added educational programming focused on biodiversity and sustainability.

Moreover, Ontario’s extensive trail and waterway networks allow for self-guided exploration — whether by bike, canoe, or snowshoe — minimizing your carbon footprint while maximizing your adventure.

    There’s something truly magical about approaching Sydney, Nova Scotia by sea, and experiencing it from the deck of Holland America’s Volendam was a trip to remember. The port offers a perfect mix of scenic beauty, maritime history, and warm local hospitality.


    As we sailed into Sydney, the coastline of Cape Breton Island unfolded in all its rugged glory - dramatic cliffs, picturesque harbours, and colourful homes that tell a story of generations past. From the gentle sway of the ship to the panoramic Atlantic views, every moment was picture-perfect.


    Sydney is not just a port stop - it’s a gateway to Cape Breton Island’s iconic Cabot Trail, Celtic culture, and local flavours. Cruising into this part of Atlantic Canada provides a front-row seat to its natural beauty and charming communities.

    There’s something special about seeing your work live on EhCanadaTravel.ca , Canada’s leading independent adventure travel platform and then holding a little piece of that journey in your hands.

    The new travel mugs have officially landed, and they’re road-trip ready. Highway coffee just tastes better when it’s brewed with a bit of Canadian pride.

    If you’re part of the small-town tourism movement, a road warrior, or just someone who believes in supporting homegrown platforms that shine a spotlight on communities across this country, you can grab yours here:

    Sydney, Nova Scotia - Fiddles, Murals & Maritime Pride

    Sailing into Sydney, Nova Scotia on a cruise is one of those moments that reminds me why I love exploring Canada by sea. As a local Canadian, there’s something special about watching the rugged coastline of Cape Breton Island come into view - colourful homes, fishing boats, and that unmistakable East Coast charm.

    On this stop, we set out to explore Sydney on foot, and it turned out to be the perfect blend of history, culture, art, and seafood.

    The World’s Largest Fiddle 

    Sydney is home to the World's Largest Fiddle. Standing 60 feet tall along the waterfront, it’s impossible to miss and makes for the ultimate Cape Breton photo op.

    The fiddle celebrates the island’s deep Celtic roots and musical heritage. If you time it right, you’ll often hear live fiddlers playing nearby - a true East Coast welcome that instantly sets the tone for your visit.

    St. Patrick’s Church Museum

    A short walk from the cruise port brought us to the beautiful St. Patrick's Church Museum. Built in 1828, this historic church is the oldest Roman Catholic church in Cape Breton and now operates as a museum.

    Inside, you’ll find fascinating exhibits about early settlers, religious history, and the strong Irish influence that helped shape Sydney’s identity. The architecture alone is worth the visit - peaceful, historic, and beautifully preserved.

    Honouring Maritime History

    Along the waterfront boardwalk stands the moving Merchant Mariner Monument, a tribute to the brave men and women of Canada’s Merchant Navy.

    Cape Breton has deep maritime roots, and standing there overlooking the harbour, it’s easy to reflect on how vital these sailors were - especially during wartime.
    It’s a powerful reminder that Sydney is more than just a pretty port stop; it’s a community built on resilience and seafaring tradition.

    Waterfront Boardwalk & Art Walk

    One of the best ways to experience Sydney is simply by strolling the waterfront boardwalk. It’s scenic, easy to navigate from the cruise terminal, and full of character.

    We enjoyed exploring the Downtown Sydney Art Walk, where vibrant murals brighten building walls and public spaces. Walking through downtown, we spotted colourful artwork celebrating local culture, coal mining history, Celtic music, and the people of Cape Breton. It adds such a creative energy to the city.

    If you’re visiting on a cruise, this area is incredibly accessible - no tour bus required. Just lace up your walking shoes and wander.

    Seafood Chowder at Cup of Culture

    Of course, no East Coast visit is complete without seafood. A Cup of Culture is just a short walk from the port.

    Their seafood chowder was exactly what you want in Nova Scotia - rich, creamy, loaded with fresh local seafood, and perfect after a breezy harbour walk. IIt had no potato filler, and honestly, it wasn’t missed at all. Pair that with friendly local hospitality, and you’ve got a true Cape Breton experience.

    Sydney is compact, walkable, welcoming, and full of authentic Maritime character.

    As Canadians, we sometimes overlook our own backyard. But cruising into Sydney reminded me that Canada’s East Coast holds some of the most heartfelt, culture-rich experiences you’ll find anywhere.
