Home to the Famous Grotto and Indian Head Cove. The Grotto is a limestone sea cave that has been carved over time to leave a covered hole with water inside, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ereminiscent of a Cenote in Mexico. Indian Head Cove is a beautiful rocky beach with t\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eurquoise\u003c\/span\u003e waters and surrounded by cliffs. The only thing missing is palm trees. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSome call Bruce Peninsula the Caribbean of Canada. We'll let you decide. You should have a\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003epproximately\u003c\/span\u003e 3 ish hours at the National Park depending on traffic, delays, and group dynamics. Please note, to get to the Grotto, you must either be a competent swimmer or have good mobility to climb down a cliff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe'll also visit the town of Tobermory where you'll have some free time for lunch. We often get asked if you can do a Glass bottom boat or visit Flower Pot Island, to which we would say no, as we won't be in Tobermory long enough. If that's what you are looking to do, check out our 2 day camping trips which have more time allocated for. Our aim for Tobermory is to show you the town, and give you some free time to grab something to eat before we hit the road back to Toronto. Fish and chips is uually a popular choice but not mandatory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe'll round out the day with a visit to Inglis Falls, an 18m waterfall with little distance to reach it from the car park. Located on the site of an old Grist Mill, this waterfall is great for photos.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt's important to note that Bruce Peninsula is a good drive, and we'll be spending many hours on the road. We'll do our best to kill time along the way, with movies, music, and commentary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis tour departs from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Pick up location\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/@43.7256918,-79.4479211,3a,75y,136.25h,82.43t\/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s23VAMX1E2QiULqbGfZrYbQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eToronto (Yorkdale TTC Passenger pick up).\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFAQ's\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Line Awesome Free'; font-weight: 900;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e What's included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003clink rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/line-awesome\/1.3.0\/line-awesome\/css\/line-awesome.min.css\"\u003eReturn transportation, Driver guide, Entry to Bruce Peninsula National Park (permit), Visits to Tobermory, Inglis Falls, and Indian Head Cove.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Line Awesome Free'; font-weight: 900;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e What's not included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFood, driver gratuities, insurance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Line Awesome Free'; font-weight: 900;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Can I swim?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes you can swim.
