Overview

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). 

Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome To Camp!

Stop At: Owen Sound, Owen Sound, Grey County, Ontario
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.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Bruce Peninsula National Park, 120 Chi sin tib dek Rd, Tobermory, Ontario N0H 2R0 Canada
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.
Duration: 5 hours

Stop At: The Grotto, Tobermory, Ontario Canada
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.
Duration: 2 hours

Meals included:
• Dinner: Camp-cooked vegetarian meal. Be sure to mention allergies or dietary requirements. Dessert: S'mores (weather-permitting)
Accommodation included: All guests will be upgraded to their own 4-person tent at no extra cost (guests still wishing to share may do so).

Day 2: Island Day

Stop At: Blue Heron Cruises, 24 Carlton St, Tobermory, ON N0H 2R0, Canada
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!
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Flowerpot Island, Tobermory, Ontario N0H 2R0 Canada
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.
Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Loop Trail,flowerpot Island, Address:1.6 Trail Loop, Tobermory, Ontario Canada
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.

Day 3: Choose Your Own Adventure

Stop At: Lion's Head Lookout, Mccurdy Drive Parkette, Bruce Trail, Ontario N0H 1W0 Canada
Today we hit the road; arriving at a hike will have us standing on the edge of the world. It's a view you don't want to miss!
Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: 237785 Inglis Falls Rd Inglis Falls Conservation Area, Owen Sound, Ontario N4K 5N6 Canada
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.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Toronto, Toronto, Ontario
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.
