Ad Feature: Muskoka Fall Tours

by Your Host Destinations

Your Host Destinations offers people a unique opportunity to not only witness, but also experience the wealth and charm of the Muskoka Lakes area. Guests of the tour will learn about the fascinating history of the beautiful Muskoka Lakes both from the perspective of the Chippewa Natives and from the vision of the wealthy and famous who inevitably bought up most of the land. The tour will demonstrate the richness of the unique scenery and rocky landscape of the region and guests will come to understand how both tourism and the boat building industry in the area were born out of necessity. Guests will learn about the area's first known tourists and will see, first hand, some of the original wooden boats built in the area.

The tour will visit Port Carling - The Hub of the Muskoka Lakes region, where the locks (along with the navigational channel at Port Sandfeild) connect all three Muskoka Lakes. In addition, guests will dine aboard a one of A.P. Cockburns original steamships on a 2.5 hour lunch cruise from the Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst where they will view, first hand, some of the world famous boathouses of Muskoka. Guests of the tour will also be treated to dining experiences in such fine and historical resorts as the Clevelands House and(/or) the Sherwood Inn.

In addition to the fascinating Muskoka Lakes sights and history, guests will also learn about the settlement of the non-native Wahta Indians, have the opportunity to learn about the area's wildlife with a visit to Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, and will see the powerful and majestic falls in Bala (where they will also become privy to a story about one of Ontario's haunted Inn's).

Tour guests will be treated to a dinner cruise aboard the MV Chippewa III in Parry Sound, where they will learn about the history of the development of Parry Sound and its local points of interest, such as the nearby ghost town of Depot Harbour, the explosives plants in Nobel and the fun side of Parry Sound, once known as "Parry Hoot". In addition, guests will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a sight-seeing cruise in a float plane if they choose.
In addition to the lunch and dinner cruises, the optional scenic flights, the incredible scenery, the Muskoka boathouses, the original Muskoka watercraft, the steamships, the wildlife, the fine dining and information about the history of the area, tour guests will also have the opportunity to browse through some of the unique, small town Muskoka shops.

This is an all-inclusive tour and a "must-see" opportunity for people of all ages!
