Private Boat Tour at Fathom Five National Marine Park
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
We offer private boat tours of the Fathom Five National Marine Park.
Park in town and enjoy the boat ride on Tre Anni, that takes you along the shoreline of the Bruce Peninsula National Park and within the Fathom Five National Marine Park. On route to the Grotto, there are endless cliffs, many with overhangs over top of crevices and caverns. See the mass of people visiting the Grotto, who made the hike from the parking lot at Cypress Lake. Then we can pass by to see the caves at Cave Point. This amazing journey is dependent on wind and wave conditions.
The Bruce Peninsula National Park is a geological trove of amazement. Aside from the overhangs, cliffs, caves and caverns, there are two legendary formations called the Flowerpots. There is mysticism in the creation of these two monolithic maidens, or is it the maiden and man? Wait for the Lore and the Legend to be told when you see them in person, face to face.

What To Expect
The Grotto
We will cruise down the shoreline of the Bruce Peninsula towards the Bruce Peninsula National Park where we will see overhanging cliffs, caverns and caves at the Grotto.
Flowerpot Island
From the Grotto we will cross the open lake of Georgian Bay towards Flowerpot Island in the Fathom Five national Marine Park. As we near these geological wonders we will take a pause to tell the tale of the man and the maiden, the mythical legend of how the Flowerpots were formed. We will approach the flowerpots slowly so we can view them together. Then we will take the boat in close for a few selfies and group shots beneath this ancient sentry in stone.

5.00Fantastic! Our family loved this private boat tour. It was the best activity we did while visiting Tobermory. We saw all the notable sites plus some unique ones like caves. The captain is so nice and the boat was in pristine condition and very comfortable. This is a must do!
Interesting, beautiful & funny

5.00Great experience with a very good guide. It was very windy and the sea was therefore rough. You certainly got wet, but this was a welcome cooling off in the heat.
Definitely recommend a private tour

5.00Great tour! Met up with Capt. Mike at the marina. We liked that he gave a very informative safety briefing before leaving the dock. Was very interested in accommodating what YOU want to see. Told him we were interested in shipwrecks and "The Grotto" rock formation areas. He made sure to hit all the notes. The Tre Anni (the boat) is small but was comfortable and made her way well through Georgian Bay. (Happy we took Captain Mike's advice to dress in layers for our mid May trip) Mike's knowledge of the history of the wrecks and lore of Flower Pot Island was entertaining and informative. My family and I are glad we did the tour!
A great time!

5.00Mike was amazing! He gave us a great tour, and got us right up to the sites. We had an amazing time, and look forward to being back and faking an even longer tour!
Amazing tour

5.00We’re so happy we chose to do a private boat tour rather than boarding one of the larger boats with so many people. Mike was an amazing captain. He took great care of us and was very knowledgeable. There’s no better way to see the beauty of the Tobermory area. We highly recommend this tour. We had three teens with us and they too, loved it.

5.00The five of us and the dog had a great time with Captain Mike today on our Fathom Five Fishing Tour, what an experience! We went out for 3 hours and got a wonderful tour of the Georgian Bay shoreline, passing sweet spots like Little Cove, the Grotto and Cave Point. So beautiful! Captain Mike provided us with lifejackets, bottled water, warm wind jackets, and extra pants if we got cold. He was great with my three teens and offered for them to play songs they liked on his speaker system...they had a blast. Captain Mike showed one of the girls how to steer the boat and she just loved it! He took pictures and videos for us and showed us how to use his fish detecting devices, it was very interesting. Still, the best part was when we caught a 5 pound King salmon for dinner, delicious! He even filleted it and cleaned it for us and put it in ziplock bags. He also did a great job answering all of our questions about hikes to do in the area and gave us some new exciting adventure ideas for next year at the cottage. This will definitely be a new favourite activity for summers here in Tobermory!
Beyond exceptional tour and day in the National Park. 10/10

5.00Amazing day on the stunning waters and up close views of the national park. Beautiful new boat and Captain Mike knows the area very well and all the history of the park and shipwrecks. Great to get away from the usual tourist areas and have stunning remote cliffs and beaches to ourselves. Very memorable experience.
Best fishing tour in Tobermory- caught a huge Salmon!

5.00When all Hope is gone Mike took us to prime destinations for Slammin salmon and sure enough we landed a beautiful 10 pound 28 inch Atlantic salmon!!!! I was so happy to bring this fish onto the boat. Thanks captain Mike you are the bees knees. Mike was gracious enough to fillet the fish for us immediately after our tour. Yum Yum.

5.00We took a private tour to Flower Pot Island to see the sight. Mike shared a lot of great information. He is very knowledgeable about the area and history. The boat is comfortable and fast, so we were able to see a lot in a short time. Highly recommend his private tours and fishing tours which my husband enjoyed too!
