Announcing Sauble River Cruises!
SEE YOU IN SAUBLE BEACH IN 2019!
We are pleased to announce that Bruce Peninsula Boat Tours will be providing boat tours from the mouth of the Sauble River to the beautiful Sauble Falls this season.
Sauble Beach and the Sauble River have a rich and interesting history, an incredible natural environment and have played an important role in the history of indigenous people, traders, settlers and pleasure-seekers who wanted to escape to the Bruce!
Departing from the Public Boat Launch area near the mouth of the Sauble River, we will travel to the Sauble Falls and take a journey back in time. We’ll explore the fishing and lumbering past, and the stages of Sauble Beach becoming a premier vacation destination in Ontario, Canada.
Enjoy the winding river, see the beautiful falls and relax while we take you up the river.
Beginning in May 2019 we will offer tours departing from both the Oliphant and Sauble Beach departure locations.
We look forward to seeing you in Sauble Beach!

Announcing ‘Birding the Islands by Boat with Doug Pedwell’
JOIN GROUP LEADER DOUG PEDWELL TO DISCOVER THE BIRDS OF THE FISHING ISLANDS OFF THE WEST COAST OF THE BRUCE PENINSULA
We are thrilled to offer four sessions in May and June this season, to bird by boat with Doug Pedwell.
Since retiring from teaching, Doug has been able to indulge his lifelong passions of birding and photography. He can often be found scanning the shoreline of Lake Huron and the Fishing Islands in search of the birds that pass through this beautiful part of the Bruce Peninsula and nest here in the spring. A member of the Bruce Birding Club, the Saugeen Shores Camera Club and a past-president of the Friends of MacGregor Point Park and the Huron Fringe Birding Festival, you will enjoy having Doug share his skill and local knowledge aboard our vessel.
During this 2.0 hour tour we will visit a heron rookery while navigating through the islands. Passengers will remain onboard, and the entire tour is conducted from the boat.
All Aboard for Chair Yoga with Harriet!
We look forward to having Harriet Nixon, a much loved yoga teacher of the Bruce Peninsula join us in the summer of 2018, for five chair yoga boat tours.
Harriet is a certified yoga teacher, a Reiki Master, and most recently, a certified Indian Head Massage Practitioner.
We will motor to a sheltered location and drop anchor for your 45-60 minute Chair Yoga session boat tour. The sights and sounds of Lake Huron and The Fishing Islands will transform into your holiday yoga studio.
Come aboard for 90 minutes and return to shore rejuvenated and ready to seize your summer day!
