Kommen Sie an Bord der Le Bellot zu einer 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt mit PONANT und entdecken Sie die Großen Seen inmitten des farbenprächtigen Indian Summers.
Die Reise beginnt in der weltoffenen und dynamischen Stadt Toronto, Ontario, am Ufer des Lake Ontarios. Die größte Stadt Kanadas begeistert mit Museen, Parks und Gärten.
Dann fährt die Le Bellot durch den Kanal, der den Lake Ontario mit dem Lake Erie verbindet. Während des Aufenthalts in Port Colborne können Sie die beeindruckenden Niagarafälle sehen. Diese drei mächtigen Wasserfälle sind weltberühmt und bieten ein außergewöhnliches Naturschauspiel.
Der Lake Huron schmückt sich in seinem nördlichen Teil mit unzähligen Inseln, deren weiße, mit Nadelbäumen bedeckte Felsen in das saphirfarbene Wasser des Sees eintauchen. Hier entdecken Sie die hübsche Stadt Parry Sound im Herzen des wunderschönen UNESCO-Biosphärenreservats Georgian Bay und das malerische Städtchen Little Current, Tor zur weltweit größten Süßwasserinsel Manitoulin Island.
Von Sault Ste. Marie aus haben Sie die Möglichkeit zur Durchquerung der Schleusenanlage Soo Locks, einem technischen Meisterwerk, und zu einem Abstecher in den Oberen See, bevor es weiter geht nach Mackinac Island zu einer Erkundung der viktorianischen Vergangenheit der Insel mit der Pferdekutsche.
Die Reise endet mit einer Fahrt durch den Lake Michigan, einem wahren Binnenmeer, auf den Spuren der amerikanischen Ureinwohner, der ersten Siedler und Trapper. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, der „Brauereistadt" der Vereinigten Staaten, gehen Sie von Bord.

Der St. Clair River, der vom Huronsee zum St. Clair-See fließt, bildet eine natürliche Trennlinie zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada und ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Wasserwege der Großen Seen. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde er von den französischen Siedlern in Nordamerika für den Pelzhandel genutzt, die sich in kleinen Kanus fortbewegten, um mit den Indianern zu handeln. Später transportierten Massengutfrachter auf dem Fluss Holz, Eisenerz und Kupfer aus der Region der Großen Seen zu den Städten des „Rust Belts“.

Das Fort Mackinac auf den Felsen der Insel erinnert an die Konflikte, die die Geschichte dieses strategischen Ortes geprägt haben, der einst ein wichtiges Zentrum für den Pelzhandel war.

Im Stadtzentrum sind die Lagerhallen Restaurants, Bars, Theatern und Kunstgalerien gewichen. Dennoch bewahrt das Stadtviertel die Spuren seiner Industriegeschichte. Weiter südlich bietet Chicago, das Wirtschaftszentrum des Mittleren Westens, eine interessante Mischung aus Natur- und Stadtlandschaften: Riesige Wolkenkratzer, eine vielfältige Architektur, zahlreiche Parks und wunderschöne Strände machen die Stadt zu einem beliebten Reiseziel.
Killbear Park
From the pier, walk a short distance to your coach for a 30-minute drive to Killbear park.
Located on the Eastern Shore of Georgian Bay, listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this park offers a diverse landscape from the granite rocks to the soft sandy beaches and the thick green forests. The fluctuating water levels of the Great Lakes have created a varied range of shoreline ecosystems.
Follow your guide on a one and a half hour walking tour through the park.
Learn about Killbear’s rocks of today which were once buried deep under a mountain range called the Grenville Mountains, and rivalled today’s Himalayas in size. The park’s predominant rock type is gneiss not granite. Signs that the glaciers scoured Killbear are impressed on its rocks and you can learn how to read them. With its mix of sandy beaches, rugged shoreline, windswept pines and views of the 30,000 islands, there are scenic views everywhere at Killbear.
Continue to the Visitor Centre, showcasing the dramatic Precambrian Shield. The Visitor Centre has exhibits pertaining to the flora and fauna, as well as the local history and geology of the area. The park has a live Massasauga rattlesnake and Eastern fox-snake on display. These two animals are both classed as species at risk and are listed as threatened in Ontario. They are the unofficial mascots of the park, and the park has undertaken years of research into these animals. The Visitor Centre portion of the visit include a self-guided tour of the Visitor Centre, and a walk along a 100-metre smooth path to the rugged rocky shoreline for a discussion on the geology of the area.
- This tour involves approximately 3 km (1.8 mile) of walking on forest trail and polished rocks. We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes. Trail can be slippery when wet. The visit to the visitor’s centre is self-guided, some of the displays have informative plaques in English and French.

Hiking the Cup & Saucer trail
The Cup and Saucer Trail, located 18 kilometres west of the port of Little Current, is one of Manitoulin Island's premier tourist destinations. This unique hiking trail offers a panoramic view from 250-foot high cliff lookouts.
From the pier, board your coach for the scenic 30-minute drive to the foot of the trail. The hike takes about one hour to reach the summit and another hour to hike back down to the parking lot.
At 352 metres (1,160 feet), the Cup and Saucer is the highest point of Manitoulin island. The cliffs are at an altitude of 70 meters (230 feet) and the view on the forests and lakes are just incredible. Depending on the season, enjoy the fall colours at their best.
Upon returning to the base of the trail, you will be treated to a selection of Canadian wines and cheeses and locally smoked rainbow trout.
- Participants must be in reasonably good physical condition as some sections of the trail are steep and a good pair of hiking boots is recommended. The paths can be muddy and slippery when wet. The entire trail is approximately 9.5 km (5.9 miles) in length and takes about 2.5 hours to complete, with an elevation gain of 70 metres (230 feet), allowing for plenty of time for photos. There is one local guide for every 6 passengers taking part in the excursion.

Kayaking on Kagawong River
From the pier, you will board your coach for the short drive to the kayaking centre. On arrival, you will meet your instructor for a safety briefing, orientation and information on the river and Lake Kagawong. The Kagawong River flows from Lake Kagawong and empties into Mudge Bay on the North Channel of Lake Huron. The river falls over a limestone bluff at Bridal Veil Falls and is one of the most visited and beautiful waterfalls in Northern Ontario. This is the same geological formation as the mighty Niagara Falls.
You will be kayaking on the first part of the Kagawong River, which flows in a northerly direction out of the Lake and passes under Highway 540, just above Bridal Veil Falls. Here the water is calm, the current is gentle, the wetlands on either side of the river provide cover from prevailing westerly winds and the water is no more than 1.5 metre deep.
While silently kayaking the clean, cool waters of the Kagawong River, you might see beaver, muskrat and waterfowl migrating from the Canadian Arctic to warmer winter climates in the south.
At the conclusion of the one-hour kayaking ride, you will walk the riverside trail to the Bridal Veil Falls viewing platform. Not only will you have a great view on the falls, but also on the river, which is especially interesting in late September – mid-October, when there is a salmon run of thousands of fish.
On the way back to Little Current, a stop will be made at Chocolate Works, a family owned business. Enjoy a cup of hot cocoa or coffee and reward your kayaking efforts with a taste of small batch Manitoulin Chocolate.
- All participants will be asked to sign a waiver. Life-jackets are provided and must be worn. Wear clothing you do not mind getting wet. Your belongings will be stored in a waterproof container. There will be one instructor for every six paddlers participating. There is a choice between one and two-seater kayaks. You will be kayaking the same way out as back.

Once the formalities are completed, reboard your coach for the one-and-a-half-hour scenic drive to Tahquamenon Falls State Park.
