Thunder Bay International Hostel, Shuniah Ontario

The Thunder Bay International Hostel is a backpacker's paradise. Located in Shuniah (18km East of Thunder Bay), Northwestern Ontario it is surrounded by nature.  The hostel is in close proximity to many areas of interest. Swimming at the MacKenzie River is only 2km away. There are many swimming areas along the river and including the MacKenzie Falls. Cliffdiving at Silver Harbour is also very close--about a 3km walk, drive or bike ride to the harbour or cliffs where you can jump into the Lake Superior. The hostel offers free tours of the local garbage dump during dump hours to see the black bears while they forage for food. These lovable creatures are usually there on any given visit, and generally tolerate bear-watchers who leave them be to their daily routine and stand at a respectful distance. On summer nights, bonfires are a real treat at the hostel. Under the starry sky in a clearing in a red-pine forest, and with guitars brought out, guests talk, laugh and sing into the night.

Beds are available at a great low price, and camping is also very inexpensive. A great selection of DVD movies can be borrowed, free WIFI is accessible, and office computers are also available for a small fee. In the Boreal Forest of Northwestern Ontario, at the West end of the Great Lakes, come see what Thunder Bay and the land of the Sleeping Giant has to offer!
