Submariner Tour*

Enter the heart of the submariner's world.  Be prepared to be boggled! There are over a half a million parts on the boat. From the towering space of the forward torpedo compartment to what is euphemistically known as the ducks ass end of the boat,  secrets of our cold war warrior will be revealed - including the stinky ones.  There is a reason why at least one wife made her husband ride home in the trunk when he arrived home from a mission.

Ojibwa was a spy; reputed to be the best  in her class; the allied submarine most detested by the US Navy who were never able to find her in war games unless she purposely made a noise.

Adults (13 and over): $24.75  (tax included )
Children (6-12): $14.75 (tax included)
Children under 6 are not permitted aboard

Fish eye Tour

When just looking through the fence is not enough, try exploring the exterior as if you were a fish swimming alongside under the sea. In fact, until now, only the fish (and other submarines) knew what lay below the waterline. Do you know  why Ojibwa has a very large dent on the port side? Our specially trained guides explain what made these diesel-electric Oberon Class submarines the best hunter/killers of their day and also how she was moved onto the site.

Note: For children under six, this is a complementary tour as they  are not permitted inside the boat for safety reasons.

Adults (13 and over): $12.50  (tax included)
Children (6-12): $6.00  (tax included)  Under 6: Free
Yes, our prices have gone up;  it is necessary due to the $4 increase in the minimum wage.

Notes Re Winter TOurs

HMCS Ojibwa is open the last weekend of the winter months (weather permitting); that means if we are snowed out and can't access the boat or the temperatures are very low.  The submarine is heated enough to take the chill off the air but hats, coats, mitts and boots are necessary - she is a steel tube and steel gets cold. We find the hand warmers that you can put in your gloves or boots provide a good comfort level.  You may not be a 'hat person' but we know you will be glad to have a hat or a head band while on the boat. While there is time for questions on the tour, you may wish to come back to the shop after the tour to ask more questions or join us for hot chocolate or apple cider to set you up for a more substantial snack in one of the village restaurants. So, dress warmly, including your feet, and enjoy an absolutely awesome hour on HMCS Ojibwa.

Or, dive deeper...

...with the "Greater Depths" Tour*

This unique three-hour tour  is for the person who wants to see more, ask more, and do more than they can on the regular Submariner's Tour. 

Every tour will be led by a team of qualified submariners who are there to guide you through the submarine, answer your questions, and explain how things work. These exclusive tours are for the "hands-on" visitor who wants to learn how to open and close the torpedo tubes; start the engines and activate the snort intake and exhaust; experience ultra-quiet mode; or get into the one-man-control to learn how to "fly" the boat. A light meal will be served in the Chiefs and Petty Officers' Mess. 
Each participant will receive a special certificate and souvenir. Regularly scheduled Greater Depths tours take place the second Saturday of every month from 6-9pm. Different times can be arranged for groups of 5 or more. Book your tour now by calling the museum at 1-519-633-7641 or email tickets@projectojibwa.ca
