Experience Tobermory’s Most Famous Sites From the Water

Skip the crowded boats and fixed routes. Our private boat tours offer a relaxed, up-close way to experience Tobermory’s three most iconic attractions:

• The Flowerpots at Flowerpot Island

• The Grotto and Cave Point

• Historic shipwrecks

Tours explore Fathom Five National Marine Park in Georgian Bay (part of Lake Huron), as well as the dramatic shoreline of Bruce Peninsula National Park, where The Grotto and Cave Point are located.

Everything is viewed from the water — giving you unique angles, fewer crowds, and unforgettable perspectives that simply can’t be experienced from shore.

No island drop-offs. No rush. Just a comfortable, private experience led by a knowledgeable local captain.

What You’ll See on Your Private Tour

Each tour is customized based on weather and conditions, but highlights often include:

• Up-close views of the Flowerpots at Flowerpot Island (viewed from the water)

• The Grotto and Cave Point, seen from Georgian Bay

• Historic shipwrecks visible beneath crystal-clear water

• Rugged cliffs, sea caves, and dramatic shoreline formations

• Coastal birdlife common to the Bruce Peninsula

• Exceptional photo opportunities from the boat

During Flowerpot tours, guests also learn the local legend of how the Flowerpots came to be, adding story and meaning to one of Tobermory’s most famous landmarks.

Why Choose a Private Boat Tour?

A private tour delivers a completely different experience than large group boats.

✔ Just you and your group
✔ Flexible routes and relaxed pacing
✔ Close shoreline viewing of the Flowerpots, The Grotto, and shipwrecks
✔ Stories, history, and local legends shared by your captain
✔ Ideal for families, couples, photographers, and small groups
✔ A calm, safe, and comfortable ride

This is the most personal way to experience Tobermory from the water.
