Description

Join us to discover why everyone loves Prince Edward County for some small town tourism and an afternoon at the beach. First stop is en route, the famous Big Apple in Colborne, Ontario's most fun pit stop. You'll have the chance to grab a fresh apple pie or cider doughnut for later and meet the animals. From there, it’s a straightforward drive into Picton, the unofficial capital of Prince Edward County. We’ll have about an hour to explore independent bookstores and galleries. The Regent Theatre’s façade is something to see, and we can settle into a café or the County Canteen for lunch. Don’t forget to grab a cone at Slickers Ice Cream before we move on. In the early afternoon, we’ll head to Sandbanks Provincial Park to relax on the beach or take a dip in the water. Don't fancy staying still, you'll also have the option of a short hike, leading through rolling sand ridges and wetland areas. After a few hours of beach and hike time, we’ll pack up our half-eaten pie and make our way back to Toronto. This is what summer days were made for.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
