Explore Tourism Activities, Things to Do, Planning Tips & Travel Information

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.

    As part of the Raising Stars Preschool Summer Adventure Program, a visit was made to Armory Park in Vernon, BC. Known for its spacious layout and family-friendly design. The playground area features a large sandy surface, making it ideal for sensory play and physical activity. Children explored two swings, a fun climbing structure, one-of-a-kind slides (one slide has a slant & curb), and a tunnel perfect for imaginative games and movement-based learning. Adding to the excitement, an Unplug and Play toy chest was discovered on the field—filled with free-access toys that encourage screen-free fun, collaboration, and creativity. This visit was part of our Summer Adventurer Program, which helps connect preschoolers with local parks, nature, and their community through hands-on, outdoor exploration.

    The capelin rolling in Newfoundland and Labrador is an event that always sparks a lot of excitment. These small silvery fish arrive in abundance in June or July bringing with them a host of seabirds, whales and other marine life that follow the capelin as a food source. The arrival of the capelin feels like the kick-off to summer and many beaches around the province provide spawning grounds for these little fish. In Newfoundland and Labrador, word spreads like wildfire when 'the capelin are rolling'. People flock in droves to beaches to try and catch sight of or to actually catch some of these wriggly fish. They are a traditional food source and I remember as a child my parents also using them to fertilize our lawn. According to the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador, there are over 30 different coves across the province with capelin in their name, demonstrating the importance of this fish to the culture of Newfoundland.On a kayak trip out of Chance Cove, Trinity Bay on Canada Day, I was lucky enough to witness schools of capelin darting this way and that underneath my boat. They move as a shimmering mass and it is mesmerizing to watch. The weather conditions that day meant I was able to paddle in close to shore to have an excellent view of the capelin in the shallow, clear water. I could see the females washing up on the beach to lay their eggs in gravel that had already been fertilized by the males. We are fortuante to witness this annual spectacle in Newfoundland and being in a kayak provided a really interesting and not commonly seen perspective on the capelin roll.

    Raising Stars Summer Adventure Program spent the day exploring Sovereign Park and Beach — a hidden, tucked-away shoreline far from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist season. This peaceful beach offered the perfect setting for a calm and engaging day of outdoor discovery. Our young adventurers explored gentle walking trails surrounded by nature, shaded picnic tables, a large open field, and convenient public washrooms. Along the way, we encountered incredible wildlife — including a deer and several Canadian geese — igniting curiosity and wonder in the children. At Raising Stars, safety is always our highest priority. During water play, children are only allowed in shallow areas, with water reaching approximately waist height. A teacher is always within arm’s reach to ensure active supervision and support. While the water may appear deeper in photos or videos due to floating or swimming movement, strict safety measures are followed. If families provide life jackets, they are used during water activities. We maintain a low 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio to ensure every child is carefully monitored and supported throughout the day. The Raising Stars Summer Adventure Program blends Reggio-inspired, play-based learning with meaningful outdoor experiences. Sovereign Park and Beach offered a perfect natural classroom where children could explore, imagine, and make lasting summer memories.
