Wilderness North offers aerial tours of Thunder Bay and area. Aerial tours are a great way to see the lush boreal forest near Kakabeka Falls, the top of the sleeping giant, the beaches of Silver Islet, the Point Porphyry lighthouse and the Thunder Bay harbour. Flying in rugged DeHavilland Otter and Beaver float planes, where every seat is a window seat, an aerial tour will give you a perspective of Thunder Bay like no other.
The City of Thunder Bay also features four, self-guided, architectural walking tours in various areas of the city. Each tour takes about an hour to complete and offers an opportunity to learn about the rich history of Thunder Bay.
Vickers Park – The Vickers Park Walking Tour follows Ridgeway Avenue to Vickers Park and turns back to the C.P.R. Station, and features many of the attractive homes in the neighbourhood.
Thunder Bay North – The architectural walking tour of Thunder Bay North is concentrated around Thunder Bay’s Waverley Park Heritage Conservation District and the commercial area that was formerly downtown Port Arthur.
McVicar/Harrington – The McVicar Creek and Harrington Court Walking Tour offers views of the beautiful homes surrounding McVicar Creek and the Harrington Court neighbourhood.
Thunder Bay South – The architectural walking tour of Thunder Bay South explores the buildings near and including the newly renovated City Hall, in the area that was formerly downtown Fort William.
The waterfront’s public art program was developed to celebrate Thunder Bay and the region’s unique culture and heritage by engaging visual and literary artists in the development of public art installations. Each collection has a specific thematic focus, together creating an interpretive narrative addressing both the historic and symbolic ‘power of place’ that permeates the shoreline of Lake Superior and the region.
