North Channel Cruise Line - Little Current, Ontario

We had a wonderful time visiting the Benjamin Islands — I highly recommend taking this trip. It’s a beautiful sight to see, and we’ve had this on our bucket list for years! The crew was incredible, food was delicious, and we learned some interesting facts about the area. Thank you again!

Thank you for your hospitality.Our group of 8 from London, Ontario absolutely loved the experience of the North shore channel including the sites, the crew, the meal, and the musical entertainment of Scott Mitchell. Appropriate for couples and families alike, the tour was commentary was interesting and appropriate! We highly recommend this evening event leaving from Little current.

Such a fantastic time on the water with Chris, Greg, and the crew! From start to finish was spectacular. The water and weather was perfect for the wedding we attended. I can not boast enough about this boat. The drinks were amazing, try the purple siren, the margarita, and the grand! I will come back here time and time again just to have those out on the water.
We went to the Benjamin islands for this occasion, gorgeous place! It was so peaceful and quiet. I can’t wait to return for another tour with you guys!! Thank you for everything and all that you did for our group, it didn’t go unnoticed. I really appreciate you all. See you in 2025 for another grand time!

I have taken five cruises on the solar powered Blue Heron over the last 3 years-my first excursions after being unable to travel for a decade due to my palliative illness-the staff are always very helpful and accommodating of my wheelchair and any special needs and a cruise is a wonderful experience for anyone who travels with or is themselves disabled/elderly. I took the sunset dinner cruise, sunset anniversary cruise, the Killarney cruise and the breathtaking Benjamin Islands cruise twice - so that my father & brother could enjoy the same experience that I had with my friend and so I would have a longer drop off (weather conditions shortened the 1st drop off due to slower travel). The food (including vegan/gluten-free) is amazing at a reasonable price for either dinner or lunch (added after the ‘23 season) for the Benjamin Islands cruise that also serves tea/coffee and baked treats after embarking, which made this 6-hour cruise accessible for my diabetic father- even though they hate mornings and felt pressured to come, they absolutely loved it. The prices are not much higher for the 6 hour cruises compared to 1.5-2 hour cruises without dinner/lunch across the Chi Chi Cheemaun ferry on Tobermory’s Blue Heron cruise line or others that are not eco-friendly. I have only two cruises left unexplored- the Baie Fine Fjord during the full season and the speciality Fall Colours-Louisa Island in October to view the beautiful autumn colours of trees on the shoreline-just $110 for the five hour cruise which is amazing. The stop offs allow you to take it easy on the shore by the boat or hike, except for the Killarney cruise which allows you to enjoy amazing fish & chips at a stand with picnic tables on the dock area and peruse a nearby shop. I am very grateful that I can enjoy scenery at a nice cottage rental on Manitoulin Island and enjoy an excursion that doesn’t require steep stairs at Bridal Veil Falls or challenging trails (even for a rugged power chair) now that the easy trail has been removed from the Cup & Saucer. I’m excited for my next trip!

We've had such wonderful experiences with North Channel Cruise Line, starting with my wedding sunset cruise, which was absolutely perfect. The service was incredible, and it made for such a special and memorable evening on the water.

Since then, we’ve chosen to work with them for two of our company events, and they’ve delivered the same great service every time. Our guests always have such a good time, and it’s clear the team at North Channel Cruise Line truly cares about creating an enjoyable experience for everyone on board.

We’re already looking forward to booking with them again next year!

We booked as a family, and the tour was great. It was a nice day out on the water. Lunch was good and there is a bar tender on site for drinks. The kids enjoyed the stop at the dead lake for a quick dip off the rocks.

If you love nature and would like to see it from close proximity, their tours are great. I took the Benjamin Island cruise on a beautiful Sunday morning. Everything was good, no complains. You can sit on upper level (without shed) and there is indoor and outdoor seating on the lower level. Lunch was served in generous portions and was great. On our way back they served dessert squares and some chips. Coffee was available in the morning. They have a very nice ramp to get off when you reach the island. Great experience by wonderful crew. Thank you!

There are power sockets on board. The cellular network is stable and strong throughout the route.

Absolutely recommend! This summer my family of 6 (Ages
83-11yrs) took a wonderful cruise to the Benjamin Islands in the North Channel. Captain Chris was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area's history and a skilled waterman who took us in hidden coves and secret spots we never could have found on our own. Thanks for such a unique experience!
