Sure, the boat ride up to Niagara Falls is awesome Sure, the boat ride up to Niagara Falls is awesome - but check out this fun alternative! 😮‍💨 @whirlpooljet have an open-topped boat that takes you into the Niagara Gorge and right through the Devil’s Hole Rapids 🤯 The tour lasts only 45 minutes, but you’ll still get soaked!

Have you ever considered visiting Sarnia, Ontario? Have you ever considered visiting Sarnia, Ontario? 🤩 If so, you should stay in the city centre so you can make the most out of your time there 👍🏼 The best place to stay in Sarnia is @theinsigniahotel. It was originally built in the 1960s, but it’s now a dog-friendly boutique hotel 🐶 Their Presidential Suite is a great option for small groups, as it boasts 2 separate bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a spacious living room with a dining table 🛌 @theinsigniahotel is also home to a phenomenal fine-dining restaurant, @legacysarnia, which is open for both breakfast and dinner. We really enjoyed their harvest set menu in the evening with wine pairings. This was available in October, but there’s always something new popping up each month! 🍷 Their breakfast menu is incredible, with dishes like chicken and waffles and Eggs Benedict just some of the options available 🍳 Don’t forget to unwind in their bar in the evening too - it’s the perfect way to end your day in Sarnia! 🍹 • • • • • • • • • • #sarnia #sarniaontario #marriott #marriotttributehotel #boutiquehotels #ontario #exploreontario #visitcanada #canada #canadatrip #canadatravel #sarnialambton #downtownsarnia #kristatheexplorer #traveltips #travelblogger #roadtrip
There’s a lot you can fit into a weekend in Toro There’s a lot you can fit into a weekend in Toronto 😎 If you haven’t been to the city before, I’d recommend heading up the CN Tower, walking around the Distillery District, and exploring the downtown area on foot 🚶🏼‍♀️ Feeling adventurous? The Edgewalk at the CN Tower lets you hang over the side of the tower - over 1,000 feet in the air! 👀 For food, places like the St Lawrence Market are great (I’d recommend @stackdkitchen ). You should also check out @scoopedbydemetres @paitoronto @neocoffeebarto and @elcatrinca 🌮 Would you like to spend a couple of days exploring Toronto? 🇨🇦 • • • • • • • • • • #toronto #exploretoronto #torontotravels #torontotrip #travelblogger #kristatheexplorer #traveltips #canadatravel #visitcanada #exploreontario #cntower #torontofood

We opted to stay in the downtown core, right next to the CN Tower and Rogers Centre, at @sohohoteltoronto 🛌 Our oversized room was fantastic, with an incredible view of the CN Tower from the window, and plenty of space to relax and work during the evening 💻 We also took avantage of the pool and on-site cafe ☕️ @sohohoteltoronto is one of the best quiet luxury hotels in Toronto, and you really can’t beat its location! 🇨🇦 • • • • • • • • • • #sohohotel #sohohoteltoronto #toronto #torontohotels #torontohotel #visittoronto #torontotravels #exploretoronto #downtowntoronto #kristatheexplorer #travelblogger #traveltips #canada #exploreontario #ontario
