If you want your adventure to start even before you arrive in
Algoma, there’s another way to get here from Southern Ontario.
For over 40 years, the Owen Sound Transportation Company
has been connecting Georgian Bay to Manitoulin Island.
Ojibwe for “big canoe”, Chi-Cheemaun ferry passengers are
not only transported across Lake Huron but can take in the rich
Indigenous heritage and beauty of Manitoulin Island before
arriving in Algoma. This two-hour ride is a great option to relax
while stretching your legs on deck.
Crossing Time
The crossing time from the mainland crossing at Tobermory &
South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island is approx. 1 hr 45 mins.
