Ontario

Ontario is one of the largest provinces in Central Canada, covering a total area of over 1,000,000 sq km. It has 15 regions dotted with thousands of freshwater lakes and rivers, giving you plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming. One of the most visited destinations in Ontario is Niagara Falls, a group of 3 waterfalls that’s a magnificent sight to enjoy from both afar and up close.

Muskoka is a scenic cottage country with 1,600 pristine lakes – great for a family vacation filled with easy swimming, kayaking, or tubing. Those who love adventure can enjoy mountain biking, ATV rides, ziplining, and hiking through pine forests. Toronto – Ontario’s capital – is also worth a visit thanks to its cultural diversity, old-world districts, 19th-century buildings, and contemporary structures.
