Details

This trip begins with a visit to Hoggs Falls. Next, you'll head to Lion's Head for free time at the beach or for the adventurous, a drop off to hike Lions Head lookout (3 hours). The day continues at Cape Croker, where you'll set up camp, cook dinner, and immerse yourself in the vibrant Cape Croker indigenous history. In the evening, there's an optional trip back to Lion's Head for a special astronomy evening with local astronomers. 

The second day starts with a leisurely campfire breakfast. After packing up, you'll head to Bruce Peninsula national park to explore the famous Bruce Grotto, where you can swim or hike amidst rugged cliffs and crystal-clear waters. The trip concludes with a visit to Inglis Falls before departing back to Toronto.

 Dietary requests (food)

We often get asked if we can accommodate dietary restrictions. The short answer is yes, if we know about them. Please let your tour leader know at the start of the trip if you have any restrictions so they can tailor their food shop. E.g., Vegetarian, no pork, etc. In some instances, we may ask for your assistance should it be outside our area of knowledge.

 Why can't I see more dates?

We would love to offer a super busy program packed with events, but that's not how supply and demand works. At the moment, we are aiming to offer a wide variety of trips to cater to many different tastes. As we grow, our offerings will grow too. You can see what we're up to each week by clicking on the calendar in the menu.

 Parking

We do our pick-ups from Yorkdale TTC passenger pick-up. We suggest taking public transportation to the meeting point. If you must take the car, the options are to park at Wilson Passenger pick-up and parking—this is free on the weekends and subject to availability. We would not suggest parking at Yorkdale Mall as vehicles may be ticketed or towed after 5 hours.

 How many people per tent?

If you would like your own tent for two people, there is a supplemental charge of $20 per tent. By using more tents, we have to do more work after to clean them. We usually aim for 3 people per tent. We use 4-person Eureka tents, which are mostly 4-season. When not requested, tents are divided by gender. In the case where adults want to share of the same gender, we will do our best to accommodate requests if everyone knows each other. We will not place same gender adults together who do not previously know each other. There may be some tents with fewer than 3 people due to the way the numbers land. Either way, 3 people to a 4-person tent is still very spacious. If you want 4 people in a tent as that's your friend group size, that works too. 

 Can I bring my pet?

We love animals, but we can't allow pets, we’re afraid. We will designate a few pet-friendly dates each year, but it's impossible for us to know if anyone has an allergy to dogs or cats, etc., ahead of time, and we don't want to cause any reactions in an enclosed space. We really do think dogs are paw-fect! And we will aim to offer some pet-friendly dates which will be clearly listed in the future.
