Bruce Peninsula Explorer (3 Day From Toronto)

  • 3 days (approx.)

  • Mobile ticket

Arguably the most scenic part of Ontario, the BP Explorer whisks you to the Georgian Bay by land and by sea for two days of camping fun. Guests will walk along Canada’s oldest and longest trail, visit 'The Grotto' cave, discover sunken shipwrecks from aboard a glass-bottom boat, and explore an island marked by its mysterious ‘flowerpot’ rock formations. Guests will enjoy free transportation from Toronto, three square meals, and a good old-fashioned campfire. Best of all, no camping experience or equipment is necessary (not even a sleeping bag). Sightseers can enjoy access to the Canadian wilderness for a unique opportunity that would otherwise take a lot of planning and money to arrange (not to worry, all first-timers will learn the basics of camping). 

What to Expect

Shared tour (max 14)
9 stops
3 days duration
Day 1

Welcome To Camp!

Stop at: Owen Sound

90 min

Known as the Scenic City, it was historically a sailor's town of vices and hedonism. Now it's just a quaint, tree-lined seaport town where the group stops for today's restaurant lunch.

Stop at: Bruce Peninsula National Park

300 min Admission included

Set up camp in 156 sq. km of pure wilderness. Located on the Niagara Escarpment, the Bruce Peninsula is perfect for wildlife spotting and peace of mind.

Stop at: The Grotto

120 min Admission included

This afternoon's hike brings us to the Bruce Trail Grotto. Thousands of years of erosion carved a cave of stone there, where light emanates from an underwater tunnel. This trail will make you smile, guaranteed.

Unless 'Solo Tent' option is purchased, guests strategically paired up to share 1 large tent *Couples & families exempt
Camp-cooked vegetarian meal. Be sure to mention allergies or dietary requirements. Dessert: S'mores (weather-permitting)
Day 2

Island Day

Stop at: Blue Heron Cruises

60 min Admission included

This morning we make the short drive to Tobermory, at the peak of the peninsula. Here we enter Fathom Five National Marine Park. You'll have something to write home about after a stunning glass-bottom boat cruise. The park has 22 sunken shipwrecks, many shallow enough to view from aboard!

Stop at: Flowerpot Island

180 min Admission included

We dock at the shores of Flowerpot Island, where massive flowerpot-shaped stone towers line the shore. Here, we spend the day on the trails and perhaps go for a swim.

Stop at: Loop Trail,flowerpot Island

60 min Admission included

We get away from the crowds with a serene walk around this mossy trail. There's no better way to immerse yourself in the nature of the island. 

Unless 'Solo Tent' option is purchased, guests strategically paired up to share 1 large tent *Couples & families exempt
Enjoy a selection of toast or bagels, cereal, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, etc.

Day 3

Choose Your Own Adventure

Stop at: Lion's Head Lookout

180 min Admission included

Today we hit the road; arriving at a hike that will have us standing on the edge of the world. It's a view you don't want to miss!

Stop at: Inglis Falls

90 min Admission included

We'll take one last opportunity to knock your socks off with a stop at Inglis Falls, ranked the #1 thing to do in Owen Sound. Its 18-meter-high cascade is sure to impress, and if there's time, we'll also take a stroll down the Pine Loop Trail.

Stop at: Toronto

120 min

We begin our last leg of the journey. You'll have a couple of hours to wind down and catch some winks on the drive back to our drop-off point in Toronto.
