Great Lakes HopperToronto to Port Elgin |
|
Summer Voyages on TS Playfair are the core of our program and provide an experience unlike any other. You will be an active member of the crew and live, eat and sleep onboard our Tall Ship. By the end of a voyage, you will know the fundamentals of how to sail a Tall Ship and be certified as a Brigs ‘Lead Hand’. But it’s not all sailing! Activities during your voyage will include swimming, singing, campfires and exploring ports and anchorages throughout the Great Lakes.

Trip DescriptionGet ready for an incredible, jam-packed adventure from Toronto to Port Elgin! Start off at the Toronto Tall Ships Festival*, where you can check out a whole fleet of amazing tall ships. After that, sail from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie through the eight massive locks of the Welland Canal, zip across Lake Erie, then navigate by buoy through the St.Clair river. Finish your voyage out on the beautiful beaches of Port Elgin - some of the loveliest beaches in Lake Huron, and some would say, Canada. This voyage includes three different Great Lakes!
