Soo Locks Boat Tours



Soo Locks Boat Tours is one of the best ways to see the Soo Locks and waterfront for a family.

We recently took my son and his family on this 2 hour excursion. With four grandchildren ages 4 - 10, there are not many activities that will keep all their interest for 2 hours but the Boat Tour did.

The boat was roomy enough to allow everyone to have a railing seat. The children could move around freely. The best part was that they really got to see how the Locks operate as we locked through the American locks up bound and the Canadian Lock down bound.










The adults appreciated the narrated tour of the waterfront, including the Coast Guard Station, Edison Sault Hydroelectric Plant, Algoma Steel and many other points of interest.


We got to see the ship American Victory and she slipped out of the Locks and down the river.













The Soo Locks Boat Tours has long been a favorite of tourists and locals alike.
