Summer is here, welcoming longer days of sunshine, outdoor adventures, and endless days on the lake! One of the best destinations to spend your summer vacation in Ontario can be found in Muskoka. With over 2,000 lakes in the region, we invite you to spend the season exploring our beautiful waterways with Muskoka boat tours.

Reconnect with nature as you take in the serene beauty of our local waters and learn the rich history of Georgian Bay.
At Rawley Resort, we offer a collection of Bespoke Experiences where our guests can tailor adventures to their interests! Book a private boat voyage of Big Chute and the Trent-Severn Waterway. Our Guest Driving Service will drop you off at the Orillia docks, where you will enjoy a private voyage with a trained captain. You can even request a locally-inspired picnic lunch from us to enjoy during your day on the water.

The SS Bigwin first set sail in 1925, used as a transport vessel on the Muskoka waterways before falling into disrepair. After ten years of restoration and repairs, Bigwin relaunched in 2013, offering cruises to the public once again!

After your cruise, you can visit the Lake of Bays Marine Museum to learn about maritime history or pick up a souvenir!
