1) Reliable departures (your vacation time matters)

One of the biggest frustrations travelers face is arriving with tickets in hand only to learn a tour has been cancelled.
At Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours, reliability is a priority. We plan staffing and operations carefully to help keep your
schedule on track.

2) Easy rescheduling or refunds at no extra cost

If plans ever change due to unforeseen circumstances, we have the ability to contact guests with pre-purchased tickets and offer rescheduling or a refund at no additional charge. Clear communication and guest care are part of the experience.

3) Two excellent viewing areas for any weather

Enjoy the sights from two great options:

• • Upper deck viewing for open-air panoramas and photo opportunities
  • Enclosed, climate-controlled lower deck for comfort without missing the action

4) Knowledgeable crew and engaging narration

Our experienced team helps make your Soo Locks tour smooth, safe, and informative—sharing local insight,
freighter facts, and how the locks operate in real time.

5) A true Soo Locks and freighter experience

Guests come to see the locks, the ships, and the history—and that’s exactly what we focus on. Our tours are paced to give you great views of freighters, lock structures, and the waterfront of Sault Ste. Marie.
