The caves are open to the sky for those uneasy with tight spaces. Beyond discovering the main caves this trail offers a lookout over the Pretty River Valley and distant Georgian Bay and many smaller crevices to explore.
All guests will experience the same 3.5km trail into the Singhampton Caves and the incredible walk through the caves.
