Here's how to plan an epic Ontario road trip from Toronto this summer

Latest Videos

It's the time of year to plan an Ontario road trip to take-in all that summer has to offer. There are many great places starting from Toronto to head for a multi-day adventure.

From a two-week trek to Thunder Bay to a long weekend in Algonquin or Canada's most southern point , there is a lot to do within Ontario. 

To truly see the vast range of what Southern Ontario has to offer, a looped route to Tobermory , Manitoulin to Killarney and back to Toronto is sure to please every kind of traveller. It offers cliff views, idyllic crystal waters and peaceful drives. 

Here is a guide to get you planning. 

Day 1: Exploring Lions Head & Tobermory

Considered to be one of Ontario's most beautiful regions, the Bruce Peninsula is best known for its crystal-clear waters and impressive views. Visiting Lion's Head Provincial Park or the Grotto is a must. 

Getting to the town of Tobermory takes about 4 hours from Toronto. There are a few shops, food trucks and day adventures you can do here. 

Stay right in town at Bruce Anchor Motel  or for something a bit more unique, consider glamping in a luxurious tent at the Grotto Getaway .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kyle Wicks (@k_wicksy)

Before settling in for the night, stop in  Lion’s Head to hike. This impressive hike is either a 7km out and back or a 16 km loop and offers towering views of the shores of Georgian Bay. Parking is limited so book ahead and arrive early. 

Or visit Greig's Caves to explore the 10 spectacular caves. The caves themselves date back thousands of years and are fun for anyone who likes to do a little exploring. Admission is $15 per person and allows you to explore at your own pace and enjoy views of the bay as well.

After your adventure, visit Cindy Lou’s in Lion's Head for ice cream, snacks or some fish and chips before driving on.

Day 2 - 3: Manitoulin Island

Manitoulin Island is the largest lake island in the world and a spectacular often missed area to explore in Ontario.

Arrive on the MS Chi-Cheemaun ferry early with your pre-booked ticket to one of the three daily sailings. They sell out fast to book early and call if online doesn't have what you want as sometimes there are cancellations and exceptions.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Bruce Rocks Adventures (@the_bruce_rocks)

Spend your two-hour ride exploring the boat or enjoying the sunshine and uninterrupted water views before departing on Manitoulin.

It is easy to spend days exploring the island yet possible to experience the best gems in less time. Whether you have time for one day or more, you can accomplish a lot with good planning. 

Staying at the Eco Park & Dark Sky Reserve offers basic camping and cabin options and spectacular night sky views. You’ll see stars here like you won’t believe. Or upgrade to the Bridgerton-worthy  Twin Peaks Bed and Breakfast in town.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Seven – Northeastern Ontario (@neontario)

While on the island, be sure to check out Cup and Saucer Nature Reserve . This trail offers some good inclines, a range of 2-14 km loops and views spanning much of the island. Be sure to take the adventure side trail to make the hike even more fun. 

Make sure to plan a meal at Maja's Garden Bistro which offers fresh vegan and vegetarian fare along with options for meat-eaters. Grab some of their preserves to go as well. New Grain Kitchen also offers farm-to-table options for something upscale.

Stopping for a pint at Manitoulin Brewing Company or visiting a  farmers market is a great way to explore the work of artisans from the island or by walking the trail to Bridal Veil Falls . 

If you plan to stay a few days, add a  Providence Bay Beach  sunset and Misery Bay Provincial Park  hike to the itinerary for more photo-worthy views. 

Day 3-4: Manitoulin to Killarney

Once you’ve explored the island, head north over the bridge and the spectacular rocky landscape of this part of Ontario. There is something eerily beautiful about this area that will stay with you long after you drive through.

Stop in Whitefish Falls at the Church Mouse Cafe for a snack and caffeine before heading further to Chutes Provincial Park . It's a little off track but worth the detour. The hike, waterfall and floating river make for a perfect summer’s day. 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Hills | Outdoor Adventure Family • Ontario 🇨🇦 (@adventureswiththehills)

Head next through Sudbury and either stop to check out a summer concert or the unique graffiti that peppers the city or continue onward to Killarney to camp for the night.

Killarney is one of Ontario’s most beautiful Provincial Parks offering a range of trails from a few kilometres to a few dozen. Make sure to check out The Crack for the views that inspired the Group of Seven and get your heart rate up. 

Unwind on the shores of George Lake or head out for a sunset paddle with a rental from Killarney Outfitters . Once you've explored all there is to offer, set up your campsite or book a night at Killarney Mountain Lodge .

Day 5: Returning Home to Toronto

Whether you’re one to drive long stretches with multiple stops or prefer to stay a few days at a location, this trip allows for both. 

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dj Church|Photographer|Toronto (@camerawanderlust)

From Killarney prepare for the traffic ahead by stopping in Perry Sound for lunch at Trestle Brewing or a short hike to visit Ontario's iconic tree at Killbear Provincial Park  and swim the lake to break up the 4.5-hour drive.

Before arriving back into the city, your final stop should be Homestead Artisan Bakery in Barrie for lunch or baked goods.

How did Ontario's bankrupt 'Crypto King' use $13K worth of Scene+ points to travel the world?

Newly released documents suggest Ontario’s so-called ‘Crypto King’ paid for months of world travels with $13,000 worth of Scene+ points while bankrupt – but how?

The details were provided in a report released last week as part of ongoing bankruptcy proceedings against Aiden Pleterski. The 25-year-old Oshawa resident is also facing criminal charges in connection with an alleged Ponzi scheme in which investors reported losing north of $40 million.

Despite the ongoing proceedings, Pleterski has continued to boast a life of luxury on social media for months leading up to his May arrest, sharing content of himself wandering the streets of London and top golfing with friends in Miami.

As part of the fraud and money laundering charges laid on him earlier this month, Pleterski must remain at his parents home in Oshawa, putting an end to the jetsetting. 

But how Pleterski, whose bank accounts were seized in 2022, paid for these trips has remained a question for many, including the investors seeking to recoup the more than $40 million.

According to the report, the answer to Pleterski’s lavish lifestyle lies in part in “undisclosed assets” – in this case, largely Scene+ points.

• Watch: W5's The Crypto Bros here

The Scene+ program, owned by Scotiabank, Cineplex, and Empire, is a Canadian loyalty program that offers users points in exchange for transactions using a Scene+ card, explained Barry Choi, a Toronto-based travel and money expert.

Pleterski’s points were accumulated through transactions made on his Scotiabank Scene+ credit card, but when his accounts were seized, the points remained accessible.

“It's similar to Aeroplan,” Choi said. “Cancelling your Aeroplan credit card doesn't mean you lose your points.”

Travel receipts included in the report show Pleterski used the points to pay for approximately $8,000 worth of hotel expenses in London, over $1,600 for flights to Los Angeles, and almost $3,500 for roundtrip economy seats from L.A. to Melbourne as part of travels embarked on late last year.

In emails with the trustee, Pleterski also argued these Scene+ points were “non-transferrable and have no cash value.” Therefore, he said he wasn’t aware he needed to report them.

While loyalty programs often don’t categorize points as a currency, Choi argues they operate in the same capacity; “So no matter how you look at it, those points are worth something,” he said.

CTV News asked Scotiabank and Grant Thornton, the bankruptcy trustee responsible for tracing and liquidating Pleterski’s assets, how he maintained access to the Scene+ points, and why they were not included in the initial seizure of his assets.

Scotiabank declined to comment while the matter is ongoing, while the trustee said it could not divulge information beyond the report due to the ongoing criminal investigation.

Ultimately, if the points were accumulated through illegal activity – transactions made with money allegedly owed to investors – “that breaks the [program’s] terms and conditions, so Scotiabank would have the right to seize those points,” Choi said.

Samantha Galea, a Toronto-based insolvency trustee who is not involved with Pleterski’s case, said the points should be considered “property,” and therefore, that Pleterski had a duty to report them.

“He should have known,” Galea said, adding that such omissions can result in an extension of the proceedings.

It’s an approach the trustee appears to be taking – in the report, they recommend Pleterski’s bankruptcy be extended by another two years, rather than the average discharge of nine to 21 months.

That discharge – the final step in the bankruptcy – would also be conditional on Pleterski paying $4.5 million to the trustee for other unaccounted assets, including a watch and cryptocurrency.

At the end of the day, Galea said, “It’s going to be up to the court if he ever gets discharged.”
