Ontario Fly Drive Holiday
This 11-night self-drive holiday offers a rich sweep through Ontario, beginning in vibrant Toronto where you arrive and enjoy city sights, then driving on to the dramatic Niagara Falls region for the falls, cruise and charming town of Niagara‑on‑the‑Lake. From there you head north into the wilderness of Algonquin Park (via the Muskoka area) for three nights of natural beauty, hiking and possibly wildlife, then continue on to the national capital of Ottawa for city culture, historic sites and the Rideau Canal. Your final stretch takes you to historic Kingston on the St. Lawrence River to explore waterfront streets, 19th-century forts and the 1000 Islands area, before driving back to Toronto to fly home.
This itinerary is flexible and can be tailor-made to suit you; if you want to add extra days in one area, extend the holiday or maybe change the direction of travel. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.
