Bruce Peninsula Traverse
May 30 – June 5, 2025
The Bruce Trail is Canada’s oldest and longest marked footpath, measuring over 890 km (550 miles) from Niagara to Tobermory, following the magnificent Niagara Escarpment – a UNESCO World Biosphere reserve. This extensive guided itinerary covers what many hikers claim to be the most spectacular section of the trail: The final stage from Wiarton to Tobermory, covering the Bruce Peninsula from end to end.
Each day on the trail affords endless outstanding coastal views perched high atop cliffs and along rocky beaches, looking out across the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Georgian Bay. You will swear that you are exploring Caribbean shorelines!
With limited accommodation options, we’ve carefully selected a handful of inns, and have combined these cozy stays with a friendly guide and transfer service. Your luggage is transferred as needed as well, leaving you free to enjoy the trail with only a light daypack.
