Agawa Canyon Fall Colours Train Tour + Lake Superior Fall Colours Bus Excursion  + Georgian Bay Fall Colours Boat Cruise

We added one extra day to our classic Agawa Canyon Fall Colours Tour to create this triple-whammy of a trip that allows you to experience the glory of the fall colours in Northern Ontario by all three modes of transportation: Train, Road AND Boat!

This tour includes the Agawa Canyon Train Tour. This is followed the next day by a road trip as we follow the coastline north of Sault Ste. Marie to Lake Superior Provincial Park with its striking views of the lake, waterfalls along the way and roadside sand dunes and rock formations.  And the day after that, on our way back to Toronto, you stop in Parry Sound and experience the 3-hour afternoon boat cruise on Georgian Bay aboard the Island Queen. Wow!

Trip Highlights

Agawa Canyon Tour Train

The train departs from Sault Ste. Marie train terminal at 8 AM and returns at approximately 5:30 PM.

This one-day wilderness excursion will transport you 183 km. north of Sault Ste. Marie, over towering trestles, alongside pristine lakes and rivers and through awesome granite rock formations and vast forests.

All of the coaches have been recently refurbished and installed with extra large windows so we will truly get to appreciate the beauty of the region and experience the same rugged landscapes that inspired the Group of Seven to create some of Canada’s most notable landscape art.

Agawa Canyon

As the train pulls to a stop at Agawa Canyon park, you will have one and a half hours to experience the pristine beauty of the canyon up close. Enjoy scenic walks on trails leading to several waterfalls or experience an invigorating climb up over 300 stairs to the breathtaking lookout, perched 250 feet above the canyon floor.

​For those who are looking for something a little more relaxing, you can enjoy a peaceful break in the many picnic areas located throughout the park or just sit on a bench and watch the Agawa River slowly flow peacefully by.

A boxed picnic lunch is also included that you can eat either when we stop in the canyon or on the train on the return journey back to Sault Ste. Marie. 

Lake Superior Fall Colours Bus Excursion

Our bus drive heads north along the Trans-Canada Highway from Sault Ste. Marie heading towards Wawa. After 10 km or so you will encounter one of the first real reasons to take this drive ... Mile Hill. Mile Hill will afford you an amazing view of the region’s forests as you descend along it.

The road follows closely along the coast of Lake Superior, as you pass Batchewana Bay and Pancake Bay. The ancient lava that helped form the Canadian Shield is evident here along with multi-coloured granite and quartz. We will make a stop along the way to view the Chippewa falls and also at the Canadian Carver and Agawa Crafts. 

​Family owned and operated for over 30 years, Agawa Indian Crafts and the Canadian Carver remain dedicated to providing a wide array of authentic and unique crafts and artwork by Canadian and First Nation artisans.

Half way through the day's excursion, you will stop to have a fabulous lunch at a resort perched right on the edge of Lake Superior. Lunch is included as part of this tour package. 

Island Queen 30,000 Islands Georgian Bay Fall Colours Cruise

The Island Queen is designed to maximize comfort and viewing quality. The ship features comfortable seating and large viewing windows, spacious outside observation decks, a snack bar, a full commentary and heat for cooler spring and fall days. Passengers can move about freely during the duration of the cruises.
The Island Queen is a modern 132 ft. cruise ship, specially designed with easy maneuverability and a shallow draft, allowing the captain to meander into remote waterways and up-close to the natural beauty of the islands. 

Big Nickel

The Big Nickel as it's known is a nine-metre (30 ft) replica of a 1951 Canadian nickel, located at the grounds of Dynamic Earth in Sudbury.

We will be stopping here for a short break and a photo opportunity at the base of the coin.
