- Days 1-2
  Toronto & Niagara Falls
  Spend your first day in Toronto exploring the vibrant Distillery District and Chinatown. Visit the CN Tower around 4 PM to skip the biggest crowds - tickets cost $53 CAD. Head to Niagara Falls early on day 2, arriving by 8:30 AM before tour buses show up. Book your Hornblower boat ride ($39 CAD) ahead of time and bring something to protect your phone from water.
- Days 3-4
  Algonquin Provincial Park & Ottawa
  The drive to Algonquin Park takes about 4 hours (320 km). Visit between mid-September and early October for spectacular fall colors. The trails can get slippery when wet, so pack boots with good traction. Start your Ottawa visit with an early morning walk around Parliament Hill. The Rideau Canal offers great photo spots at sunset.
- Days 5-7
  Montreal & Whale Watching
  Walk through Montreal's historic district but wear solid shoes for the old cobblestone streets. Take a trip up Mont Royal on the funicular for city views. For whale watching near Tadoussac, pack warm clothes no matter the weather. Book morning tours if you get seasick since the water is usually calmer then.
- Days 8-10
  Gaspé Peninsula
  Route 132 along the St. Lawrence River offers incredible views. Ferry times change with the tides, so stay flexible. Visit Île Bonaventure early for the best bird watching. In summer, you can see up to 116,000 gannets nesting on the island.
- Days 11-13
  Quebec City Region
  A recent visitor shared: "The funicular ride in Quebec City offers incredible views, but lines get long after 11 AM. Go first thing and you'll have the Old Town almost to yourself." Take the cable car up Montmorency Falls and walk down for the best experience. Stop by the Île d'Orléans in late afternoon to try local ciders.
- Days 14-15
  Return via Montreal
  Leave Quebec City in the morning for the 3-hour drive to Montreal to avoid traffic. If you're flying out, give yourself extra time at the airport since security can be slow in peak season.

- Days 5-6

- Days 15-16
  Trinity & Bonavista
  Get a walking map from the visitor center to see Trinity's historic sites. The Cape Bonavista Lighthouse has a steep climb but great views. One visitor noted: "The historic interpreter's stories about lighthouse keeping brought the harsh reality of their lives into sharp focus."
