Itinerary
STOP 2
Head out on an easy trail with a few surprises and photo-worthy moments, or pop over to a farmers market for road trip snacks. Drive time to your third stop is 10-20 minutes.
STOP 3
You must be getting hungry, and in need of a farm fresh brew, at this point in the day. If you aren't up for a beer, a quirky museum or small town shops are up next! Drive time to the fourth stop is 20 minutes.
STOP 4
Choose between a gorgeous boardwalk trail or an incredibly significant historic site! We think you should definitely pop into our small town suggestion to grab one last beer and take in their colourful murals before heading home.

What an adventure! My husband and I bought a trip for our anniversary and it was the best day we couldn’t have planned ourselves. The stops we went to are very interesting and unique. We honestly can’t wait to buy more trips to enjoy 😁

I picked this as my first trip as it was close to home. It was a nice day out and I stopped at places I had driven by in the past. It was a nice day out that was planned for you. I loved the mix of history and nature.

I’ve been up in this area a lot so some of it I had already seen. It is a great road trip especially in the summer. I highly recommend doing an overnight as there is soo much to see and enjoy.
This is a really great road trip.

We live north of Barrie which was the closest available starting point for us. The first stop was litterally our back yard and places we have visited on many occasion but we still enjoyed every minute of our mystery excursion. We had tasty treats, took tons of photos and even saved a turtle. I would definately recommend. Unfortunately one of our stops was closed but that was no fault of the pkg it was a decision of the shop owner on the specific day we went.
