We went back in July and had a great time. Weather was cool so I would recommend taking a jacket in case. The crew was knowledgeable and it was interesting to get to see the steel mill in Canada. The price was fair and the gift shop and refreshment stand at the docks made waiting painless for my son. More

Put the Soo Locks Boat Tour at the top of your "to-do" list in Sault Ste. Marie. A great tour, well worth the $22 price tag ($20 if you get a coupon from brochures or local hotels). The boat was spacious and well laid out to see all around, and the captain and mates were informative and interesting. Going through... More

Great tour and narrated history of the locks. A must take tour if you visit Sault Ste Marie! More

When you are inside the locks you are dwarfed by their immense size. Going into the locks you are... More

For less than $20 we enjoyed a wonderful boat ride and tour of the St Mary's River, the Soo Locks and the entire area. The views of the steel mill on the Ontario side of the river was great and the guide information was truly interesting. Not a great option in cold or rainy weather - but if you are... More

Super interesting, the lakes of Huron and Superior are 27feet different yet very large boats need to travel between them hauling cargo. We took a boat tour and had a great time listening to the captain and experiencing the locks. It's in the UP, so unless you're going here for some reason (on your way to Canada, going to MacInaw),...

For those with any interest in the engineering marvel of locks - or even just an interest in general sightseeing in an old but pretty Great Lakes town - this boat tour can't be beat. The tour takes passengers through the American locks as well as the smaller Canadian locks, under the international bridge (actually bridges - as there are... More
