Seeing the falls and the hike were the most memorable moments. Getting to meet new people was fantastic. The tour guide was friendly and professional. I enjoyed his commentary and learning the history of specific locations. I enjoyed the trip.

It was very nice....

Alfredo_M, Oct 2025
It was very nice. Driving a bit long, but worth the views. I would remove the 30min breakfast in that ugly place.

The Caribbean of Ontario

Great excursion into Ontario's picturesque Bruce Peninsula. Enjoyed the beautiful Caribbean blue waters of the Grotto and Indian Head Cove most.

Great day out, our guide was knowledgeable. We didn't visit the village or lighthouse but visited the 2nd longest fresh water beach in the world instead

Fun Day trip

Kyle_H, Sep 2024
My partner and I had a blast on this day trip! Our email communication with Lenka was prompt and informative. Our Driver, Simon, was punctual. Our tour guide, Leo, was very kind and knowledgeable. We visited the town of Tobermory, Bruce Peninsula and Ignis Falls. We will definitely arrange another day trip again. Thank you for the great time!

Amazing Experience!

bhakti_p, Sep 2024
This was my first solo trip and it was an amazing experience!!. Thanks to Jo for making this experience unique and memorable.

Beautiful views, definitely a bucket list place

Advocate_R, Jul 2024
Overall a very well organised trip. I travelled solo, met some amazing people as well on the trip that made the entire day so much fun. Our tour guide “Mike” was really good. He’s very well travelled and was very warm and friendly, made sure we’re all comfortable and having a good time. We left Mississauga at 7:45 am and reached The Grotto at around 11 am with two short breaks at Tim Hortons on the way. The Grotto: Had a beautiful sunny weather for this trip. Spent around 3.5 hours at the Grotto. Hiking or sports shoes recommended, you’ll be walking on rocks so it can get tricky as some rocks might be slippery/uneven. Sunscreen and bug spray is a must. Carry water and food (sandwiches or anything light to munch on once you’re at the Grotto) for the trip. There’s a proper washroom at the parking so you can change/use that before you head to the Grotto. Walk to the Grotto is about half an hour. There is a washroom at the Grotto but it’s a portable washroom and a little dirty/crowded. The water was really good for a swim. You can see the Indian head cove as well at the Grotto. They’re right next to each other at the same location. We stopped at Inglis falls also on the way back from Bruce Peninsula. Overall a 10.5 hour round trip from Mississauga to Bruce Peninsula, including everything (7:30 am - 8 pm)

Celebrate your birthday with the intention of a prosperous and successful new year. BE adventurous.

Lizbeth_C, Jul 2024
I traveled to Canada with my daughter to celebrate my birthday, and it was one of the best trips I've ever had. Joe, our tour guide, made it an extraordinary experience. He helped our group bond, making it feel like we were on this adventure with family. Make sure to bring snacks and water. We stopped for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but you'll need to be quick if you want to see the beautiful waterfall, enjoy the clear blue water, and swim in it. Simon the driver, was great.

Good but not enough for the price

Lilian_N, Jun 2024
The place was amazing, but not worth the price because they didn’t let us stay enough time to enjoy it. And when we arrived at Tobermory they gave us 1 hour at lunch that was unnecessary. It wasn’t good because They gave us more time at lunch than at the wonderful view 🤦🏻‍♀️ Although the guide was cool, but the tour felt very rushed

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your review and feedback. We give you one hour free time on our tour and you can decide if you will have just a lunch break on this tour or if you will explore one of the small towns on your own. You can walk to the lake or visit local shops on this free time. We had lot of travelers, who asked us to spend more time at the local town as they wanted to explore. We do spend 4 hours at Bruce Peninsula National Park, which is the maximum limit provided by the National Park, nobody can spend more than 4 hours at the park, even if you will drive to the park on your own. This is the limit set by Bruce Peninsula National park as the place is very busy. Also, the drive from Toronto is 3,5 hours one way, which is listed in our itinerary. There is a regulation by Ontario government, that the drivers can't work longer than 13 hours/day and as this is a day trip, we can't spend more time in any of the places. If you would like to spend more time at the park, we would recommend to book and overnight tour.

Spectacular trip to enjoy the summer Great Lakes

ChihYu_W, Jun 2024
We start our day at 7 am and return to Toronto around 9 pm due to the suburb's heavy traffic. Try kayaking if you are just like me and have never tried it before. Also, enjoying the clear blue waterscape and hiking in the nearby forest was refreshing. Considering the long return drive, our tour guide brought us to a lovely vintage American dinner restaurant. The food there was so good!

Bruce Peninsula review

Pervin_S, Jun 2024
Great views, good hiking. The guide was a lot of fun. The tour was very enjoyable in spite of the rain!!

The Bruce Peninsula is one of the places you must see when you are in Ontario.

Mirtill_S, May 2024
The Bruce Peninsula is one of the places you must see when you are in Ontario. An amazing beach, beautiful white cliffs and endless blue on the horizon. We went with a great team and our tour guide was a very good guide! We had a fun time together. :))

Spend a day in Bruce Peninsula

Shamima_A, Apr 2024
It was magnificent afternoon spent on Bruce Peninsula, hiking and sitting by the water! Our guide Joe was fun to have on the tour ;)

Good but expensive

Raphael_G, Dec 2023
We waste time on some unnecessary things, such as an hour-long lunch break even though we have already taken a snack break. One of the group members was a smoker and smoked during the trail. The smell of cigarettes made us sick and it also bothered us to see him throw the cigarettes on the ground in the middle of the forest. We believed that the guide would attract the member's attention, but it didn't. Finally, the place is very beautiful, but we didn't think it was worth the price paid.

Great fun for all!

Diana_T, Aug 2023
Brian is a wonderful guide. Allows for everyone's skill level. Swimming in the beach is marvelous after the fun challenge of the hike. The whole area is beautiful. Can't recommend the experience enough.

Worth it!

Ania_B, Jul 2023
This trip was amazing and totally worth it. We had a small group and our guide was awesome! He took us to spots with fantastic views. 100% recommend.

We loved it. Nothing is better than this place. Definitely will recommend everyone we know. Will come back.

Oasis en medio del bosque

JOSECARLOS_R, Nov 2024
Fue mi primera vez en Canadá y Bruce Península es maravilloso en estas fechas. Nunca había estado en una playa con clima frío, me gusta mucho el otoño y lo disfrute en sobremanera, caminas por un bosque y esperas encontrar un lago, no una playa con hermosas tonalidades azules. Nuestro guía (Mike) hizo el viaje lo más ameno posible, ya que son casi 4 horas desde el punto de partida y el mismo tiempo de regreso. Se detuvo varias veces en el camino para pasar al sanitario o para comprar comida. Sin duda recomiendo este viaje y volvería en verano para poder nadar en ese hermoso lugar!
