About
Nestled between Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, the Bruce Peninsula is home to one of the UNESCO World Biospheres and is one of the most breathtaking places of Canada with unique rock formations, abundant wildlife, ancient trees and crystal clear turquoise waters. Best of all it is only a 3.5 hour drive from Toronto and our guide will be doing all the driving so you can relax and take in the scenery! Once we arrive at the Bruce Peninsula, your guide Javier will lead you on a hike to explore some notable geographic features of the park, followed by a late lunch/dinner at local restaurant on the way back to Toronto (not included in price). As a bonus we will also be visiting Inglis Falls Conservation area!
