Step aboard for an unforgettable mystery tour where every bend in the road uncovers a moment in Canada’s living history. We’ll wind our way through mountains and along rivers and hear remarkable tales. From the medicinal marvels along tranquil waters to the thundering might – a world renown sight, you’ll trace how people, culture, and waterways have woven the past into our vibrant present. We’ll travel through valleys, fields, and even a subtle chain of mountains—each stop revealing another clue in our shared Canadian story. Our tour is laced with nature, culture and local flavours.
Day 1 Our journey begins where belief and biology once met—a place where tonics, tinctures, and time collide. We’ll peer into a medical mystery of the past: snake oil or cure? The line was fine, the bottles plentiful, and the stories worth hearing. We’ll continue through rolling valleys and fertile fields toward a cabin in the woods where the alchemy of maple unfolds. As the day winds down, we arrive at a beautifully restored hotel, once a vital cog in industry. Its grand halls now whisper of machinery, markets, and the movement of goods along the waterways that built our nation. Easily sum up our day of elixirs of early enterprise. (D)
Day 2 We start the morning with a perfect pearing, but we really can’t say more. Next, we wander to a farm market, brimming with handcrafted goods and local fare. Here, the countryside cuisine takes center stage: simple, proud, and deeply rooted in the land. This afternoon, indulge your inner child with a joyful adventure in the crisp autumn air. Then, as twilight glows, we’ll be schooled for our unique onboard history lesson, where stories of transportation, trade, and transformation carry us into the evening. Tonight, rest well—the threads of history have only begun to weave. (B, D)
Day 3 I’m no green thumb but pretty pumped about letting you see this uber big plant. Next up, a jolt of inspiration, a testament to human ingenuity and the forces that literally shaped the modern world – powerful stuff eh! Our midday “lunch date” takes us to a place where time flows differently—respectfully, spiritually, and powerfully. You won’t find this experience on any ordinary calendar. From there, we choo choose a behind-the-scenes, exclusive visit where we explore how steel and steam connected communities and commerce across the country. It’s a “we weren’t sure if we COULD, but we did” moment of discovery! As dusk descends, we cross to a small, intimate island—a serene escape wrapped in stories of service and sanctuary. Our evening meal is a “no-nunsense” affair, served in a quiet dining hall, where faith and fortitude once flourished. (B, L, D)
Day 4 You might say this leisurely day flows nicely. Learn about the currents of change and see how landscape and communities are claimed by progress. Uncover the mystery beneath the surface and listen to the echoes of homes, churches, and memories—a poignant reminder of the price of modernization. We wrap up our mystery tour with a lunch by the river —where no membership is required, just a taste for fine food and flowing conversation. Here, where waters converge and time seems to stand still, we’ll reflect on the mysteries uncovered and the moments that make us who we are. (B, L)
