Our hikes are private, you will NOT be paired up with other hikers.

Minimum 2 person for this tour.

What makes this tour unique is that your guide will customize your experience based on your interests. All guests will experience the same 2.5km trail into the Singhampton Caves and the incredible walk through the caves. However, your guide will work with you to customize your return route, giving you the ability to “choose your own adventure” on your way back. There are four different trail options, varying in length from 2.0km to 3.5km. Some offering more beautiful lookouts, others more cave and crevice exploration opportunities.

After working up an appetite on your hike we encourage you to try one of our local establishments such Giffen's Country Market in Glen Huron or one of the numerous cafes for a warm beverage in Creemore.

Hike Description:
Enjoy a guided 5.5km(2.5-3.0hr) hike a top the Niagara Escarpment starting with an apple tree lined trail before entering into a denser moss/fern covered forest on route to the keyhole (1m high arch) entrance into the spectacular Nottawasaga Bluffs caves.

After exploring the main caves you will be treated to an epic lookout, a great spot to take a break.

Then we will explore the Best caves (long narrow crevices) and for those comfortable with a steep descend and an enclosed cave we will explore Freedom Rock (an outcropping that broke off from the Escarpment) and the Tomb (small adjacent cave), both have a series of aphorisms carved into the rock by an unknown 19th century liberal.

What to bring:
Water, snacks, appropriate clothing, and closed toe shoes are required.

Nottawasaga Bluffs Caves tour vs. the Singhampton Caves tour:
The Singhampton caves are all open, have taller walls making them more grandeur. The Nottawasaga Bluffs main caves are less numerous, but side caves offer more closed/underground discovery options and a larger lookout point.
