The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Hike the Top of the Giant Trail with a local guide to the highest cliff edge on the Sleeping Giant peninsula, 250m above Lake Superior.
Step into North America's largest reconstructed fur trade post, with costumed interpreters recreating daily life at the height of the North West Company.
A private charter out onto Lake Superior for close-up views of the Sleeping Giant's sheer cliffs and the sea caves along the Nor'Wester range from the water.
Visit the sheer 100m-deep gorge of Ouimet Canyon, an arctic-like microclimate tucked into the boreal forest an hour from port, timed for golden-hour light.
A small-group walk led by an Anishinaabe guide through Thunder Bay's waterfront and Mount McKay area, sharing Ojibwe history, land relationship, and the real story behind the Sleeping Giant legend.
Visit 'Niagara of the North,' a 40m waterfall on the Kaministiquia River, timed for early morning when mist and light are at their best and crowds haven't arrived.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
