Adventure Description

We're doing a day trip to some of the most spectacular locations in Ontario as we visit the Bruce Peninsula. The area is full of unique, dramatic landscapes with stark cliffs and views over the enormous Georgian Bay.

We're starting the day off by visiting the Grotto, perhaps the most famous natural spot in the province and extra special at this time of year because we get to experience it without the crowds of tourists. We'll hike through the forest then along the beach, ending up at the incredible rock formations and crystal clear waters of the Grotto.

After lunch, we move on to Lionshead Park for a 7km hike to the lookout for a mind-blowing view over the scenery.

This will be a long day but one that is totally worth the drive for what is a bucket-list item for many.

The cost of this trip includes your entrance into the park. Self drivers - please note that you will also need to purchase a separate $15.50 parking permit.
