Our hikes try to take the stress off the hiker. We will provide a daypack for all guests to carry the required items on the trail. All luggage will be transferred and will be waiting at your next destination daily. You will only be required to carry items you need on the trail that day, all other items will be transferred.

Chef-prepared meals will be served for breakfast and dinner. Lunch will be freshly packed every morning. For more information on the the meals we provide, click the link to visit our blog What is a Bruce Tour Wilderness Culinary Experience?

Please email us at info@thebrucetour.ca, before the trip, if you have dietary restrictions.

We need to know as soon as possible about any dietary requirements we should consider when planning your trip menu. If you have food allergies or restrictions, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. However, people with severe food allergies may need to supply some or all of their own food as we can’t entirely mitigate the risk of cross-contamination. Additionally, some specific needs can only be met if we charge you a supplemental menu fee to cover our increased costs. **Please note we are not a peanut- or nut-free facility.**

You will carry a day pack with lunch, water, and your own personal supplies required for the hike that day. All other items will be transferred to the daily destination location.

Sleeping accommodations will be shared with other same-sex solo travelers. If preferred, a solo supplement can be purchased, contact info@thebrucetour.ca for more information.

There is no bear activity on the southern part of the Bruce Trail, and other wildlife should not be a concern for the wilderness glamping sections. For more information on trail wildlife and safety, click here.

Sleeping will be in a combination of charming inns and wilderness glamping, which includes bell tents, bed frames, memory foam mattress, and furniture.

Wilderness glamping sites have onsite washrooms and showers for use. We also have disposable, compostable, moist towelettes available for refreshing after a day hiking.

Bathrooms are generally available at conservation areas. Alternatively, some parts of the trail are near urban areas with access to washroom facilities.
